Who is B-Plas
B-PLAS Sbrl is an innovative start-up that adopts the concept of Green Growth, that’s a path of sustainable economic growth from both an environmental and social point of view.
We at B-PLAS define our identity and build our mission in the attempt to solve two issues:
- the continuous increase in agri-food waste sludges and civil and industrial wastewaters, associated with the progressive restrictions for their sustainable disposal or reuse;
- the increasing contamination of water and soil by non-biodegradable fossil plastics, and the consequent damage to natural ecosystems.
In 2018 B-Plas, a spin-off University of Bologna, designs and builds its first experimental plant thanks to the B-Plas Demo project, funded by the EIT Climate-KIC program, one of the initiatives of the European Union to tackle climate change through systemic innovation.
The turning point came in 2019 following the meeting with Diemme Filtration, leader in solid-liquid separation technologies. Sharing B-Plas’s mission and recognising the high potential for industrial applications, Diemme Filtration chose to back the project and, together with BEHOLD srl (a company wholly owned by the University of Bologna – Alma Mater Studiorum) and the researchers involved, launched the start-up, becoming its majority shareholder and setting out a programme to accelerate the company’s development.
B-Plas is a member of Clust-ER Greentech.
Mission
We design customized processes and produce modular systems for the treatment and upcycling of waste sludges into new by-products and bioresources.

Sustainability Manifesto
The rapid population growth and intense industrialisation that characterise our era are leading to the exploitation of environmental resources at a rate that is no longer sustainable.
At B-Plas, we define our identity and build our mission around two increasingly pressing issues:
- the continuous increase in agrifood waste sludge and domestic and industrial wastewater treatment processes, which is accompanied, however, by a progressive reduction in sustainable disposal or reuse options;
- the growing contamination of water and soil by non-biodegradable fossil-based plastics, with consequent damage to natural ecosystems.
