IFAT Key Topic in 2022: Using & Reusing Resources Efficiently
The circular economy took up more space than ever at this year’s trade show. At the opening, German Environment Minister Steffi Lemke emphasized: “A properly functioning circular economy saves primary resources, reduces dependencies and makes a significant contribution to protecting the climate and biodiversity.”
For water, the focus was on sustainable use and closed cycles, for example in industrial production—and in cities, which must use smart water management to prepare for extreme drought as well as heavy rainfall. The trade fair showcased the enabling technologies, the conference program featured more than 300 experts sharing their knowledge.
About Munich
Munich is the most populous city of Bavaria, the southernmost state of Germany. It has remained one of the most important beer cities in the world. Its most famous brewery is the Hofbräuhaus, founded in 1589 as the brewery of Bavarian Duke Wilhelm V and is now a commercial brewery, owned by the State of Bavaria. Munich is located in the midst of one of the best spring barley–growing areas in Europe, as well as next to the largest contiguous hop-growing area in the world, the Hallertau, where roughly one-third of the world’s hops are grown.
Though the main reason that people think beer from Germany is better than anywhere else is because of the country’s 500-year-old beer purity laws, or the Reinheitsgebot. These are a series of regulations on beer ingredients, the most famous of which was adopted in Bavaria in 1516. Munich is also known for its amazing Bavarian food such as Weisswurst, or white sausage, schnitzel and dunkel beer. Bavarian pretzels are also not to be missed!
