ScrapX
Smart Scrap Buying & Selling Platform
Project Overview
ScrapX is a user-friendly platform designed to simplify the process of buying and selling scrap materials. It bridges the gap between individuals, recyclers, and dealers by offering a digital marketplace where scrap can be listed, scheduled for pickup, or sold with transparency and ease. Built with a clean interface and real-time features, ScrapX enables users to manage pickups, track prices, and contribute to sustainable waste management. The design emphasizes clarity, trust, and convenience — helping users make eco-conscious decisions with just a few taps.
Problem
Traditional scrap buying and selling is unorganized, lacks transparency, and often requires in-person negotiations. There’s no streamlined digital system for individuals to dispose of scrap responsibly or for dealers to manage pickups and pricing efficiently.
Solution
ScrapX provides a centralized, easy-to-use digital platform that connects scrap sellers with dealers. It offers real-time pricing, convenient pickup scheduling, and eco-impact tracking — making the process transparent, efficient, and sustainable for all parties involved.
