Trade fair  /  May 04, 2026  -  May 07, 2026

Meet us: Hall B4 | 250 at VDMA and Hall A4 | 151 at Bayern Innovativ

Fraunhofer UMSICHT will participate in IFAT 2026 in Munich as a co-exhibitor at the VDMA and Bayern Innovativ stands.

In 2026, IFAT Munich will once again be the largest platform for water, sewage, waste and raw materials management.

Our trade fair presence:

VDMA Booth: Hall B4 | 250

In cooperation with the VDMA, Fraunhofer UMSICHT will be exhibiting as a co-exhibitor at the VDMA booth.

We are showcasing innovative technologies for the recycling of textiles. At the stand, you can see, via a demonstration module, the technologies and possibilities Fraunhofer UMSICHT offers for the recovery of end-of-life textiles. Among other things, we are presenting the AUTOLOOP project, which integrates several technological innovations for the complete recycling of polyester-based (PET) textiles, which are being further developed and validated by the project partners.

We will also be presenting the recycling of plastic waste using pyrolysis and the downstream processing of products from the recycling processes. Representatives from Fraunhofer UMSICHT will be on site at the VDMA stand on all days of the fair.
