Summary/Abstract: The management of packaging and packaging waste, a component of the environmental protection strategy, determined the development of rules at the European Union level since 1975. The diversification of packaging types and the increase in the amount of waste required finding new ways to improve waste management. For this, however, it is necessary to ensure an effective selective collection of packaging waste, and not only that. This article presents the new challenges of the guarantee-return system in Romania from the perspective of the obligations imposed on economic operators in the collection, transport and recycling of packaging subject to this system.
