How can wastewater be turned into recyclable materials, electronic waste into key raw materials, and wind turbine blades into new products? At IFAT 2026, the Fraunhofer Water Systems Alliance will be demonstrating what a circular water and raw materials economy looks like in practice in Hall B2/115. Eight Fraunhofer Institutes will present solutions covering the entire water cycle – from water analysis to wastewater treatment and reuse.

Solid electrolyte batteries are considered potential candidates that can overcome the disadvantages of conventional lithium-ion batteries in terms of safety and energy density. However, we are not yet seeing entry into the mass market and therefore ask ourselves: Where do solid electrolyte batteries stand today? Exchange different perspectives at our two-day meeting and discuss where you see solid electrolyte batteries – ante portas or still as a vision?
