Towards a zero-emission future: BD Plast’s commitment to a more sustainable industry

The Zero Emissions Day, celebrated every year on September 21, is not just a symbolic date. It is an opportunity to reflect – in a measurable and shared way – on the environmental impact of production activities and on the crucial role that industry can (and must) play in the ecological transition.

At BD Plast, sustainability is not an abstract concept nor a simple trend word: it is a precise strategic direction, integrated into processes, decisions, and corporate culture.

Every day we work to reduce emissions, promote energy efficiency, and develop solutions increasingly oriented toward the circular economy: this is confirmed by concrete actions, such as our partnership with Treedom, an international platform that funds agroforestry projects with a positive impact on the environment, economy, and society.

Thanks to this collaboration, the BD Plast corporate forest was created, an initiative that allows us to offset part of our residual emissions and actively contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda.

Not only do the trees we have planted in Tanzania absorb CO₂, but they also improve soil quality, promote biodiversity, and generate income and training opportunities for local communities. In particular, Treedom operates in line with several United Nations sustainability goals, such as combating climate change, protecting life on land, and fostering virtuous partnerships for sustainable development.

What we are building, day after day, is an industrial model capable of creating value for the entire plastics processing supply chain, with special attention to the needs of the planet and future generations.

September 21 reminds us that change does not start with words, but with actions. And at BD Plast, we have long chosen which side we are on.

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.
