This document summarizes the results of a questionnaire given to wine companies in Moldova about their perceptions and practices related to the circular economy. It finds that while most companies are familiar with the concept of a circular economy, over half do not currently process their wine by-products and most waste is disposed of in landfills. It concludes that more coordinated state actions are needed to encourage companies to adopt more environmentally friendly, circular practices and make better use of by-products in order to transition to a more circular economy model.

#Climatechange is causing global #water shortages, so #SABIC is working hard to reduce freshwater usage across our businesses. Our 2019 #Sustainability Report spells out key achievements, including a 12.6% reduction in water intensity compared to the baseline year of 2010. We’re implementing a range of strategies—from using condensate instead of clean water in evaporators to installing a microfiltration unit in drought-prone Spain. In addition to internal water conservation, #SABIC is doing their part to help local communities optimize water resources.

RESEARCH/QUESTIONNAIRE
In order to outline a clear picture of the perception of the circular
economy among the economic agents in the Moldovan wine industry, as well as to
provide important answers to issues related to the de facto processing / separation
/ destination of waste generated by this sector, a questionnaire was developed.

TWO basic concerns was sought
through the questionnaire:
1. What is the level of knowledge and
awareness of the opportunities and the
need to align with the principles of the
circular economy among the economic
agents in the wine sector of the
Republic of Moldova?

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Small (<49)
22%
Medium (50 : 249)
64%
Large (>250)
14%
As a result of the centralization of the answers, 14 valid questionnaires were operated,
completed by wine companies, which generate approximately 25-30% of the total by-
products at the sector level.
The distribution depending on their size was as follows: most were in the category
of medium-sized companies (64%), followed by the category of small companies (22%)
and large companies (14%). Over 92% of the responding companies have a complete
production cycle, both primary and secondary vinification

HAVE YOU HEARD SO FAR ABOUT THE
CONCEPT OF CIRCULAR ECONOMY?
Fig.3 The degree of familiarity with the term of circular economy
YES
79%
NO
21%
79% answered “YES” and 21% answered “NO”, which indicates that respondents
are largely familiar with this term.
We can consider that the 21% of the wine companies that gave the answer “We
have not heard about the circular economy” is still quite high and indicates the
lack of a national information strategy on this concept, its opportunities, but also
legislative provisions in this regard.

Some of the interviewees said that they are already using some of the wine by-products to
get new products. However, 57% DO NOT introduce these by-products into new
industrial circuits for various reasons.
For a more in-depth analysis of the use of wine by-products, it is of particular interest to
get an answer to the question IN WHAT PROPORTIONS ARE THEY PROCESSED -

, where 1 - NOT enough actions are undertaken, 5 - MANY actions are undertaken.
Score 1 Score 2 Score 3 Score 4 Score 5
Answers 6 4 1 3 0
The average score obtained for this question is 2.07, most of
the respondents - 43% assigning a score of 1, which means
that the state does not take enough action to monitor the
destination of waste from winemaking.

CONCLUSIONS
There are positive concerns about the circular economy. Theoretically,
wine companies are largely familiar with this concept, which aims at how
they should interact economically and socially, without compromising the
balance of nature, which is positively appreciated.
Unfortunately, the practical attitude of companies towards the environment
is still at a lower level, 64% of the responding wine companies have not yet
implemented an Environmental Management System.
In fact, more than 57% of the responding companies do not capitalize on
wine by-products, and the others, 43%, capitalize on less than 50%.
Therefore, we deduce that substantial quantities of by-products are
converted into waste, reaching landfills.

CONCLUSIONS
Their uncontrolled disposal has a detrimental impact on the environment,
on the other hand, they do not take advantage of potential economic
opportunities from the exploitation of wine by-products.
In this context, the need to take further action by the state to encourage
companies to adopt „environmentally friendly” business practices becomes
crucial.
Certainly undertaking coordinated actions at local, regional, national level,
building constructive partnerships between the private and state sectors,
applying various tools, innovative projects, relevant technologies, support
policies etc., would facilitate, stimulate the transition to a circular economy,
thus contributing to the implementation of the proposed circular economy
agenda at state level.
