Abstract
The paper aims to analyse the status of circular economy in each European country, especially in Romania, through a comparative analysis using circular economy indicators available on Eurostat, which are gruped in four categories and are constantly updated; were analysed the indicators from the "Waste management" category due to the importance of this fact in the circularity. The analysed statistics show us that the Nordic countries and other countries such as Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany have a high degree of circularity; unfortunately, Romania is close to the other extreme, alongside the Baltic, Balkan countries and others that have a long way to go towards a circular economy. Regarding the recycling targets of different types of waste, set by the EU, Romania has not yet met them. The analysed indicators show that more actions are needed in order to improve the circular economy in Romania.
