In order to address the major problems of our time such as climate change, species extinction and environmental pollution, we need new ideas and solutions. We have to question how things are made, used and ultimately disposed of. With the cross-industry sessions, IFAT Munich shines a spotlight on new solutions from a wide range of sectors and industries on the way to a circular economy.
After three successful IFAT Munich cross-industry sessions at the OutDoor by ISPO, digitalBAU conference and ISPO Munich, topics from the sporting goods and construction industries, among others, will be continued at this year's IFAT Munich 2024. An extensive program over the entire trade fair week from 13th to 17th. May 2024 will focus intensively on the questions of which solutions we need for a functioning circular economy and which sectors need to come into closer contact with each other.
Textile recycling cannot be managed by one company, one institution, one industry. It is a matter of systems, network and collaboration across many different actors. IFAT Munich connects experts from the recycling and sporting industry and dives into the topic of circularity and its challenges. Our third cross-industry session took place on November 29, 2023 at ISPO Munich.
The first IFAT Munich Cross-industry session entitled "Recycling strategies in the sporting goods industry - what's up? Status quo, opinions and solutions" took place at OutDoor by ISPO 2023 on June 4.
The two experts Dr.-Ing. Julia Hobohm, Managing Director of Gemeinsame Rücknahmesystem Servicegesellschaft mbH and Kim Scholze, Sales Officer of Sympatex discussed the development of a textile recycling infrastructure beyond the outdoor borders, as only the entire textile industry can provide the necessary quantities (tons) for recycling facilities.

Not only in the sporting goods industry, but also in the construction industry there is great potential for optimization in terms of sustainable production processes, recycling strategies and circular economy.
Buildings and infrastructure are an important, man-made store of raw materials. In terms of climate and resource protection, this treasure must be harnessed and put to good use. The environmental technologies presented at IFAT Munich every two years can be used for precisely this purpose.
That's why our second cross-industry session took place at digitalBAU conference & networking. The topic was: "Circular economy in construction: the contribution of digital technologies."
