Italy at the top in packaging recycling

Italy stands out as a leader in the packaging recycling sector, a highly significant achievement for the country’s environment and economy.

According to CONAI, in fact, this year the packaging recycling rate will approach 75%, exceeding the European 2030 targets by six years.

This means that more than 10.3 million tons of packaging waste will find a new life, confirming Italy as one of the most advanced countries in this field.

But what makes Italy so excellent in this sector? First of all, there is a strong culture of recycling and sustainability that permeates Italian society. Citizens are aware of the importance of recycling and actively commit to separating waste and recycling correctly.

Secondly, the entire plastics supply chain has invested heavily in technology and innovation. Thanks to this technical progress, the country is able to collect, process, and recycle materials efficiently and effectively.

In addition, Italy has committed to adopting eco-design practices, encouraging the development of packaging that is easily recyclable and has a low environmental impact. This approach has helped reduce the amount of waste generated and promote a culture of responsible resource use.

But Italy’s success in packaging recycling is not only due to industry and citizens. Local institutions also play a key role in promoting sustainable waste management policies and in providing adequate recycling infrastructure.

In conclusion, Italy confirms itself as an example of excellence in packaging recycling, thanks to the synergy of all stakeholders involved, demonstrating that it is possible to combine economic growth and environmental protection. With its commitment to sustainability and innovation, the country continues to lead the way toward a greener and more sustainable future for everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions

BD Plast is an Italian company founded in 1986, specialising in the design, manufacture and sale of filtration systems for plastic polymers. Its product range includes manual, hydraulic and continuous-flow filter changers, static filters, components for extrusion lines and accessories. With 40 years of experience, the company manages the entire process: from engineering to on-site installation.

The manual filter changer is the most cost-effective solution, suitable for standard production runs where a brief interruption to the process is acceptable. The hydraulic filter changer allows filter elements to be replaced whilst the plant is running, making it ideal for high production capacities. The continuous-flow filter changer, on the other hand, ensures a perfectly uninterrupted flow of polymer, eliminating waste and interruptions in the production cycle: it is the ideal choice for lines where process consistency is critical.

The Clean Changer is BD Plast’s patented innovation, designed specifically for the extrusion industry. It is a high-performance solution that meets the quality and continuity requirements of the most advanced production lines. For technical details and to assess its suitability for your process, please contact our sales or technical team.

The range is much broader. In addition to various types of filter changers, BD Plast manufactures adaptors, bends, necks, accessories, support trolleys and hydraulic power units. Each component is designed for maximum integration into extrusion lines, whether for cast film, blown film or coating lines.
