What "Green Means to OPM"
No word is thrown around more in today's economy than green.
At OPM we use it as a synonym for recycled. Our commitment to
recycling and the environment is second to none. All of our fine
gold and silver products are produced entirely from recycled
sources in North America. Our bullion products meet ASTM B562-95
for 9999 Gold and ASTM B413-97a for 9995 Silver. OPM is a
ISO 9001 : 2008 Certified and a ISO 14001 : 2004
Certified facility (Environmental).
OPM meets
current environmental regulatory standards for both air and
water discharge. Our ongoing waste reduction program reduces
overall waste shipments.
Our active (AML)
anti-laundering program and Conflict Minerals Policy governs our
policy of accepting only recycled material. As part of
this policy, we will only accept material from recycled sources
in North America. Our Know Your Customer Form requires
acknowledgement from our suppliers that their material is
recycled materials and that their materials do not originate
from the DRC.
We believe we are the only refiner who can boast;
- A corporate wide policy of recycled material only
- A spotless history of AML compliance and corporate
responsibility
- The ability to meet both ISO and ASTM standards
- And No materials have been refined from the DRC
region
OPM sought and received certifications from a third(3rd) party surveyor, Scientific Certification
Systems(SCS), who acknowledges OPM provides bullion that meets
the standard for 100% Recycled Content. SCS also surveyed
and acknowledges that our operations meet the standards for
Responsible Recycled Source Gold and Responsible Recycled
Source Silver.
Through our implementation of ISO 14001,
we are extending our drive for continued improvement.
