greenCHEM is offering a compact, interactive workshop titled "Circular Chemistry in Action: From Idea to Implementation" for participants of IFAT Munich 2026. Discover why a fundamental chemical perspective (“thinking in molecules”) enables better decision-making. The course explores where innovations originate, what blocks their implementation, and how collaboration accelerates progress. Using brief practical examples, participants will examine challenges and develop realistic next steps and partner networks for their own daily professional lives.
The event will take place as part of IFAT Munich 2026—the world's leading trade fair for environmental technologies—and is presented in cooperation with the DGAW (German Society for Waste Management).
Special Offer: Free Tickets
We are pleased to announce that a large number of free day tickets are available through the DGAW (multiple bookings are highly encouraged).
