Abstract: The circular economy has increasingly attracted the attention of regulators as a result of the emergence of the challenges associated with climate change and the need to increase the lifetime of goods in order to reduce waste and high consumption of resources. Therefore, the paper aims to identify the current state of the circular economy in Romania by analyzing waste recovery in territorial profile. Also, another objective of the work is to identify the gaps in the territorial profile of the recovery rate of collected waste. To achieve the goals of the research, appropriate statistical methods were used in this study, such as: the Jenks algorithm and the Gini Coefficient. The main results of research suggest there are a lot of gaps in territorial profile from recycling rate perspective and a low concern about circular economy in Romania.
