IFAT Munich cross-industry sessions - solutions for a circular economy
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.

Textile recycling: a compelling challenge
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.
- 1:00- 1:45 p.m. Green Stage, Hall A1
Panel: Textile recycling - a compelling challenge
In view of scarce raw materials, increased material costs and high environmental relevance, one wonders how the textile industry can become more circular? How can you work in a resource-saving way in textile production? How can textiles be recycled?
The aim of this panel is to get various points of view that reflect different challenges or aspects of textile recycling.

IFAT Munich X OutDoor by ISPO
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.

IFAT Munich X digitalBAU conference & networking
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."
Speaker:
- Felix Heiden, Managing Director Wastebox
- Dr Ansgar Niehoff, Head of the Technology Innovation Lab, REHAU New Ventures
- Miki Yokoyama, Managing Director Aurum Impact
- Bruno Rudnik, Manager Director SusTech Consult
- Manuel Götzendörfer, Managing Director von BEFIVE by UnternehmerTUM, Venture Director TUM Venture Lab Built Environment
