RetuRO, the administrator of the Deposit Return System, inaugurated in Ariceștii Rahtivani, Prahova County, the seventh regional center for counting and sorting DRS packaging.
The new RetuRO center is located within the Eli Park industrial park and is equipped with state-of-the-art technology. It is capable of efficiently sorting and counting all types of DRS packaging.
With a surface area of approximately 6,000 square meters, the center in Prahova County has an annual counting capacity of approximately 280 million DRS packaging and a sorting and processing capacity by material type (PET, metal, glass) of more than 820 million DRS packaging.
Ten months ago, Romania joined the European countries that have implemented a Deposit Return System, developing a unique model in terms of complexity and geographical coverage.
Progress has been exponential, with results increasing considerably from one month to the next. In August this year, Romanians returned 533 million DRS containers, representing almost 80% of all DRS packaging put on the market in the month.
