BMI is a veteran Recycling – Reverse logistics firm with core competency in the economical and environmentally-compliant disposition of electronic scrap, ferrous and non-ferrous metals and end-of-life equipment. We focus on Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) facility-based programs, in addition to Wireline and Wireless Site Services including logistics and equipment removals for the major carriers and their partners.

At the foundation of these management programs is BMI’s extensive expertise in the reclamation and logistics arenas. The spectrum of treated items includes whole equipment, assemblies, precious metals scrap, batteries and the management of resaleable materials. BMI’s high-level of proficiency in equipment handling, grading, commoditizing, and other preparatory methods results in optimum harvest and financial reclamation at both the smelter level and at the secondary marketing level.

BMI also plays a large role in the management of the site-level deinstallation, removal, and logistics services that comprise the turnkey execution of transmission site decommissioning from both live and dead field environments. These include equipment deinstallation and cable mining, including BTS, switch, RF and power cable, PBU, battery, ancillary materials extraction and removal services from cell and switch sites. Our unique formula combines site-by-site removal, collection and consolidation using processes congruent with our Headquarter’s environmental, health and safety management system certified to ISO 14001, OSHAS 18001 and the Responsible Recycling (R2) Standard. BMI essentially provides a turnkey service bundle that covers the entire operations spectrum from site-level technical equipment removal through documented disposition and all steps in between.

At the foundation of these services and competencies remains BMI’s expertise in the basic mechanics and flow of facility-to-facility transfer of goods, process management, documentation, environmental health and safety, enforcement, security, and overall systemic coverage amongst its various contractors and management teams. Significant attention and quality controls have been instituted and reinforced over the course of successive years and evolving industry best practices – affording BMI the opportunity to stand as a progressive, leading, and highly successful presence. Consistency, quality, uniformity and highest composite services output are the hallmarks of BMI’s 20 plus year history and continuing industry posture.

Metals Management Services

The core value from both a Precious Metals and Re-use perspective generally emanate from the circuit cards and circuit board containing components. These same components and circuit boards are also the same materials that are regulated both at the State and Federal levels. BMI is built upon the expertise required to achieve the maximum PM recovery dollars via long standing smelting contracts, the market knowledge through which to extract the viable components and the underlying foundation upon which to extract equipment from the field, transport and process large volumes of electronic scrap compliantly, inexpensively and safely.

Specific expertise in the realm of Precious Metals Recovery, Integrated Circuit demand and Materials Preparation is at the heart of our operations resulting in the ability to achieve the highest project and material valuations. Identifying and handling all Hazardous Components correctly is Priority One and a heavily controlled component of our operations from the point of pick up through final disposition.

PM Content consisting of Au, Ag, Pd, Pt, Rh can vary widely among circuit boards and components based on a variety of factors. The knowledge of how to Identify, prepare and grade these materials and ultimately assign values to large lots of commodities pre-shipment is essential. Decades of shipments, refining results, and laboratory analysis make this a very exact science for us at BMI.

Maximizing the precious metals content must be achieved while simultaneously recovering 100% of the Ferrous and Non-Ferrous values at the lowest cost. The combined total metallic content is our recovery target coupled with the minimum amount of touches, we have mastered the science.

Our downstream partners and refineries are carefully chosen and are all home to OECD countries. These materials are Focus Materials, Hazardous and the main value driver in your assets, BMI understands and manages these factors with extreme diligence and care. Such end disposition outlets pass through our internal auditing process and are continuously monitored to ensure compliance combined with the best terms and results.

General Processing and Demanufacturing Steps:

• DEMANUFACTURING / TEARDOWN: Whole units are disassembled into core commodities and initial material classes including all metals, shelves and enclosures, packs, fans, switches, miscellaneous hardware, internal connectors and cabling, and others. Throughout the process, the operative mandate is to utilize the most efficient recycling / disassembly processes to achieve the purest possible constituent commodities
• DESTRUCTION: The inoperability of devices, whole equipment, targeted components, boards, or other specified elements is ensured using approved and warranted methods: safe crushing, drilling, shearing, shredding, or other methods prescribed to achieve the required outcome. HDD and memory devices receive special attention and monitored treatment
• BRAND SANITATION: Company logos, asset tags, internal serial numbers, bar codes and other branding mechanisms are removed, secured, and properly disposed
• PROCESSING & SORTING: Fine processing is continued to clean, strip, remove impurities and value-reducers, further sort, and perform final material preparation and designation to pure commodity classes
• HAZMAT MANAGEMENT: Hazardous materials / components (lead, beryllium, mercury, others) are removed and segregated to the appropriate compliant disposition channel for those materials groups
• AGGREGATION & END DISPOSITION: Final output graded materials are collected to peak volume and directed to the most optimized specialty smelter or refining destination, or other appropriate end-disposition outcome.
