#ScrapApp – India’s First Mobile App to Optimizing Scrap Recycling

ScrapApp – We do!

ScrapApp is a mobile app dedicated to optimizing the scrap recycling and management processes in India, and contribute directly to the country’s forest cover through the audited and transparent planting of trees in bio reserves around the country.

The company donates 50% of their revenue from each transaction to ‘Grow Trees Foundation’ and/or ‘Sanskara’, the certification for which is given to the client at no additional charge.

It is the brainchild of Vidur Bakshi, Azaan Khan, Raghav Shunglu & Adityanarayan R., who joined hands hoping to effect a substantial renovation of the scrap recycling industry and assist the environment through responsible recycling, ethical business practices and direct intervention.

The service connects customers directly with the recycling plants in an efficient and ecofriendly way through the implementation of the three-step process detailed below.

Some of the establishments serviced by ScrapApp since its inception are Social Offline, Summer House Café, Smoke House Deli, Venkateshwara School, Mother International School, Lodhi Hotel, Savoy Suites, The Taj Palace Hotel, amongst others.

The Process – “SCRAP IT : GET PAID : GO GREEN”

1) SCRAP IT

Clients can schedule pickups on the app itself
The valuation of scrap is carried out by a ScrapApp representative who will personally oversee the process.

2) GET PAID

We pay competitive market prices on the basis of our price list, which is updated every 24 hours.
Payments are made in cash or cheque, depending on the volume of scrap being disposed.

3) GO GREEN

We donate 50% of the revenues from each transaction to Grow Trees foundation and/or Sanskara.
The donation is made on behalf of the client, and the certification is sent to the client directly from “Grow Trees Foundation” and/or Sanskara.
This is a value added service for which the client is not charged. The total value clients get for their scrap is always greater than the market value of the scrap.
ScrapApp wishes to inspire a new ethos founded on the principle that one can be successful at business even while giving half of what one earns to the planet we call home.
