Reduce waste management costs.
BMEx gives you the ability to cut tipping fees and transportation costs by giving or selling your unused or salvaged building materials to a local company that can use them.
Are you currently spending money on landfill tipping fees? Or do you need to find more affordable materials for your business? Then BMEx is for you.
Imagine Dragon’s Den or Shark Tank, but with a focus on reimagining how building materials are sourced, reused, and repurposed.
This is your chance to discover Vancouver Island’s untapped opportunities in sustainable building materials!
A business with excess materials provides them to another business who has a good use for them, reducing landfill costs. At the same time, businesses who need raw materials have a chance to get them for less, saving them material costs too.
We call that a win-win: one company’s waste becomes another company’s resource.

BMEx gives you the ability to cut tipping fees and transportation costs by giving or selling your unused or salvaged building materials to a local company that can use them.
Secure local materials for less.
Sourcing a local company’s underused material costs substantially less than buying new raw materials, and doesn’t rely on fragile global supply chains. Through BMEx, you can insulate your business from potential supply chain disruptions.
Build relationships within your local business community.
BMEx helps you connect with other businesses within the region who you might never have heard of, but who can use your excess materials or supply you with materials.
Reduce your environmental impact.
By finding uses for construction-site excess and salvaged building materials BMEx reduces both waste and carbon emissions.
BMEx matches companies based on the materials you have and/or what you need.
You will have free, ongoing support in identifying and quantifying your unused materials and building connections with other companies. Get in touch with us now to see if we have a match for you.
A series of in-person events in Fall 2024 are your chance to help answer the question, ‘What can we do with all this construction waste?’
Think Dragon’s Den or Shark Tank, but instead of pitching a new product, companies pitch a challenge related to excess building materials. Companies pitch a challenge to find a home for materials, accessing materials they need, or manufacturing products from salvaged materials. Businesses, investors and innovators in the audience can pitch their solutions and have follow-up one-on-one meetings to discuss a possible partnership.
Coming later in 2024, participants will be able to access a free online business-to-business marketplace where you can list and acquire excess and salvaged building materials from reliable local sources. Imagine Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist exclusively for underused construction materials.
