IFAT MUNICH 2026: Harden Bridges Technology and Sustainability in Waste Management
MUNICH, May 4–7, 2026 – As the global environmental industry converges at the Messe München, IFAT MUNICH 2026 once again cements its status as the world’s leading trade fair for water, sewage, waste, and raw materials management.
Harden, a premier specialist in solid waste shredding and recycling solutions, is proudly showcasing its latest "Shredding + Sorting" technologies, reinforcing its commitment to the global circular economy.

A Global Benchmark for the Circular Economy
Since its inception in 1966, IFAT MUNICH has been the definitive compass for environmental technology. Under the theme "Green Transformation · Circular Future," the 2026 edition hosts over 3,300 exhibitors from 90 countries and 140,000 professional visitors. The event serves as the strategic hub for innovations in waste management, recycling, and resource recovery—fields where Harden’s expertise provides critical value.

Driving the Green Future Through Technical Excellence
At this year’s exhibition, Harden presents its core philosophy: "Finer Shredding, Faster Screening, Precise Sorting." By introducing its next-generation intelligent shredders and AI-driven sorting systems, Harden addresses the industry’s most pressing pain points: operational efficiency, energy consumption, and high-value material recovery.
The Harden booth has become a vibrant meeting point for experts from Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Beyond showcasing hardware, the Harden team is engaging in deep dialogues regarding cross-border policy alignment, technical adaptability, and the future of waste-to-resource innovation.

Engineering Excellence: Proven Solutions for Global Challenges
Rooted in cutting-edge R&D and advanced manufacturing, Harden has deployed its solutions in over 30 countries, serving more than 1,000 clients worldwide. Our track record includes high-standard installations such as pre-treatment lines for Top-2 European hazardous waste centers and specialized systems for 60,000-ton plastic chemical recycling projects in the UK.
Key Highlights at the Exhibition:
High-Performance Shredding: Our star products—including single-shaft, twin-shaft, and one-step shredders—feature self-developed precision cutting systems. Specifically optimized for MSW, textiles, tires, and industrial waste, these machines increase cutting efficiency by 28% while significantly reducing maintenance downtime and operational costs.
Intelligent Sorting & Screening: Featuring modular disc screens and air separators, our equipment ensures the precise removal of impurities. These systems are essential for producing high-quality RDF/SRF (Refuse-Derived Fuel) and maximizing the market value of recycled materials.
Turnkey Resource Recovery Systems: We provide customized "Shredding + Sorting + Conveying" modules tailored to regional waste characteristics. Our compact, high-efficiency designs allow for full-process resource recovery even in space-constrained facilities, helping clients achieve ESG goals and economic profitability.
