Dr. Amiya Kumar Sahu, president of the National Solid Waste Association of India (NSWAI), comments: "I know IFAT ENTSORGA in Munich very well, and I am sure that IFAT INDIA will also establish itself as a successful event."

He said, "As a conceptual sponsor of the sector's leading international trade fair, IFAT ENTSORGA, a role we have played right from the start of that event, we are confident that Messe München is making the right step at the right time for the sector by launching IFAT INDIA."
