When sustainability is not just a slogan: BD Plast plants its corporate forest in collaboration with Treedom

Sustainability is a concrete industrial strategy for BD Plast, not a slogan. Since July 2025, it has in fact created its own corporate forest thanks to a partnership with Treedom, a global platform for forest regeneration through the direct funding of agroforestry projects. Founded in 2010 with the aim of “changing the world, one tree at a time,” it now counts a large community of “pragmatic dreamers”: over one million individuals and 13,000 companies that have embraced its mission.

The project carried out by Treedom translates into concrete environmental, social, and economic benefits in line with sustainability principles and the goals of the 2030 Agenda. The platform makes a significant contribution to 10 of the 17 sustainability goals established by the United Nations, specifically:

  • End poverty
  • Zero hunger
  • Quality education
  • Gender equality
  • Decent work and economic growth
  • Responsible consumption and production
  • Climate action
  • Life on land
  • Reduced inequalities
  • Partnerships for the goals

With the planting of the first 400 trees in Tanzania in 2025, carried out in collaboration with Treedom, BD Plast has launched a concrete path to offset its residual emissions. The initiative will continue in 2026 and 2027 with additional plantings, reaching a total of 1,000 trees, thereby strengthening the company’s contribution to European climate goals and confirming its commitment in line with ESG principles. In this way, BD Plast positions itself as a virtuous example within the Italian SME landscape.

The forest is only the latest in a series of initiatives in this direction: for example, the Bondeno plant is powered by 800 photovoltaic panels, capable of producing 240 MWh per year and reducing CO₂ emissions by about 160 tons annually.

BD Plast is tangible proof that an SME can compete in international markets, innovate in both product and process, and act responsibly toward the environment while maintaining an agile, family-run structure.

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.
