Ziarul Financiar organized on September 16, the conference "How do we clean Romania?", the event was attended by representatives of companies directly involved in the area of environmental protection, recycling, waste collection, large corporations, as well as environmental authorities.
The following issues were discussed:

- What can Romania learn from the experience of the western states?
- What is the optimal combination of incentives between the positive ones (eg vouchers) and the punitive ones (taxes on the collected waste)?
- What role can tenant associations play in promoting collection and recycling (instead of common dumpsters, separate containers)?
- What is the value of the recycling market and how can we encourage the green industry?
