Gil Yaron, managing director of circulation innovation at Light House, a Vancouver-based non-profit, is excited about his non-profit venture, the Building Material Exchange (BMEx), which aims to encourage construction companies, developers, and renovation contractors to recycle tonnes of building material waste on Vancouver Island.
He describes BMEx as 'the Tinder of the construction sector,' a platform that connects companies and facilitates the exchange of excess or salvaged construction materials. Yaron believes that construction waste has value and wants to create a formal program that makes it easy for companies to exchange these materials. Recently, over 150 development industry leaders gathered in Nanaimo and Victoria to establish partnerships aimed at keeping waste materials out of landfills. BMEx, funded by regional districts in Nanaimo, Cowichan Valley, Victoria, and the City of Nanaimo, is free to join. In early 2025, BMEx will launch an online marketplace, a business-to-business platform for the construction industry
