These three centres will have a reported combined substantial processing capacity of 1.7 billion DRS packages annually.  

RetuRO Directorate CEO and president Gemma Webb said: “Currently, we have three operational RetuRO centres, which can collectively process over 1.7 billion packages annually, more than three times the total number of SGR packages introduced on the market so far.  

“We will continue to focus on expanding the infrastructure, and in the next three months, we plan to open centres in Ilfov, Dolj, Bacau, and Prahova counties.  

“SGR is a premiere, but also a huge opportunity to improve Romania, with a cleaner environment and encouraging responsible behaviour at the individual level.”
