The SOLIDS & RECYCLING-TECHNIK Dortmund is a trade fair event that takes place from 18-19 March 2026, targeting the bulk solids and recycling industry. The event provides a platform for companies to network, showcase innovations, and explore new business opportunities. The trade fair is organized by Easyfairs, a company that actively supports sustainability and responsibility.
