The Problem

90% of plastic waste polluting the oceans are from ten rivers in Africa and Asia. By 2025, the world will be generating 3.4B tonnes of waste; up an astounding 70% from 2016, with less than 4% of waste recycled in Africa.

About 1% of population in every urban city survive by scavenging recyclables and are unable to make a living wage from their activities. In Lagos, Nigeria alone, that is over 2 million people. In all this, Nigeria has the fastest growing waste production rate in SubSaharan Africa, and the fastest growing population, just enough to astronomically grow collection deficit while correspondingly increasing our obtainable market. Waste producers are also unable to dispose of recyclables appropriately if they want to.

The Solution

Scrapays allows waste producers to dispose of recyclable waste via independent businesses delivering convenience and reward on demand. Scrapays facilitates this using a decentralized recovery model, consisting of independent businesses (Agents, Collectors) and producers. We provide them with the infrastructure and technology to help them control recyclable material recovery while creating self-managed businesses from it.

Scrapays is for Individuals and Enterprises who are looking to make money or get a better return from recyclable waste and Out-of-Use scrap-able items. We allow individuals who have open spaces to Host collection outlets, become local Collectors. Allowing Individuals and Enterprises to get paid for their recyclable waste. while duly rewarding all partners’ commission per kilogram recovered.

The decentralized recovery network follows an architecture that allows Individual whom we refer to as Agents, list their space as temporary Recyclable Hosting Location and Collectors; mobile field soldiers that collect the recyclables in their mapped zone.

The Problem
