IFAT ENTSORGA Recognised as the World’s Leading Trade Fair for Environmental Technology

Following its amalgamation with ENTSORGA, IFAT has celebrated a successful premiere and established itself firmly as the world’s leading trade fair for environmental technology. This is seen on the one hand in strong interest from visitors from abroad, their proportion rising from 33 percent of the total at the last IFAT to 40 percent this year.

Dr Johannes F. Kirchhoff, Chairman of the Advisory Board of IFAT ENTSORGA and Managing Partner of FAUN Umwelttechnik: "IFAT ENTSORGA has more than done justice to its new role as the World’s Leading Trade Fair for Water, Sewage, Waste and Raw Materials Management. What was particularly noticeable was the high numbers of international visitors." Peter Kurth, President of the Bundesverband der Deutschen Entsorgungs-, Wasser- und Rohstoffwirtschaft e.V. (BDE – Federation of the German Waste, Water and Raw Materials Management Industry) added: "The waste, water and recycling sector has welcomed the extended concept of the fair. We were particularly pleased with the strong international interest."
