IFAT India gives the environmental industry the most comprehensive range of products and services in the region, the latest state-of-the-art technology and a wide range of superior quality services for all sectors of the environmental industry. It covers the sectors for water, sewage, refuse, recycling and energy conservation.
India is one of the most populated countries in the world. As one of the rapidly developing countries it is also the source of a humongous amount of waste per annum, be it the municipal solid waste, hazardous waste, bio-medical waste or e-waste. Segregation at source, collection, transportation, treatment and scientific disposal of waste is largely insufficient leading to degradation of environment and poor quality of life.
