Solids Handling is Identified as a Major Industrial activity.

Bulk materials are employed in one form or another in the vast majority of industries. Over 16,000,000,000 Tonnes of common raw materials are handled each year, most many times from source to ultimate use. Despite advances in the technology, companies plants that handle loose solids experience more problems and run less efficiently that those handling liquid and gasses.

The BMHB looks to improve industrial efficiency by education and cooperation.
