The construction sector is an industry with a high relevance to the environment. With an annual volume of 200 million tons, mineral construction and demolition waste, roadway rubble and soil is by far the largest waste stream in Germany.

Green technologies enjoy a special significance in the food and beverage industries, particularly as water is a key resource in these sectors. Hence, these industries become important target groups for the offering at the environmental technology exhibition IFAT 2018. The world’s leading trade fair will take place at Munich’s exhibition center from May 14 to 18.

The coming edition of IFAT India will offer the exhibitors more space: 12,000 square meters in total.
