IFAT Munich 2026: circular economy in focus

The stage is set for IFAT Munich 2026, taking place from May 4 to 7 at Messe München, where the world’s environmental technology sector will converge to explore solutions for water, recycling, and circular economy.

Over 3,000 exhibitors from more than 60 countries are expected to showcase their innovations across the fair’s 18 halls and outdoor areas.

Key themes on the agenda include digitalization, material flow management, waste valorization, and water reuse, all framed around climate resilience and resource efficiency.
