One trade, many solutions across the scrap ecosystem in India
India’s scrap industry is vast but fragmented, with low transparency, limited access to information, and high barriers to entry. Much of the market is controlled by a few players, leaving smaller businesses at a disadvantage.
Scrapcart is transforming this landscape. We connect key stakeholders such as scrap sellers, buyers, refurbishers, etc., creating a transparent, compliant, and accessible marketplace. Scrapcart streamlines trade, ensures high standards, and unlocks the full potential of India’s scrap market.
