On show in the halls at IFAT 2008, the 15th International Trade Fair for Water – Sewage – Refuse – Recycling, which took place from 5 to 9 May, was a wide range of innovations and services for the environmental sector. But outside the halls, too, things are distinctly eco-friendly.

“These results mean that IFAT is the world’s biggest and most important trade fair for environmental technology and services. Its international reputation is also impressively underlined by the presence of many high-ranking government delegations from all over the world,” said Eugen Egetenmeir, Deputy Managing Director of Messe München GmbH.
