Abstract: The green and circular economy is associated with the sustainable development concept and is an integrated part of the development strategies of all EU Member States. In line with the Union's objective of achieving climate neutrality by 2050 under the Green Deal, the European Commission proposed in March 2020 the first package of measures for the transition to a circular economy, included in the Circular Economy Action Plan. The Plan includes measures for encouraging the production of sustainable products, informing consumers about the green transition, reviewing building materials regulations, and a strategy for sustainable textiles. Against this background, this paper aims to present a comparative analysis of the green and circular economy principles implementation in Romania and the European Union. One of the conclusions of the paper is that even if some progress has been made in the last decade, the implementation of green and circular economy principles in Romania is still at the beginning of the road.
