IFAT Munich 2026 will once again underscore its role as the central platform for environmental technologies: High-ranking representatives from politics, business, industry associations, and international institutions will use the world-leading trade fair from May 4 to 7, 2026 to discuss key future issues related to circularity and climate protection. With its central theme of “Circularity is a must,” IFAT Munich will specifically address the issues that are currently right at the top of the political agenda—from raw material security and resilient supply chains to climate protection and industrial transformation— making it the place where political objectives and technological solutions effectively come together.
