India is among the top ten countries in the world in terms of municipal solid waste generation, driven by rapid urbanization, economic growth and increasing urban consumption. According to leading market research, India produces around 62 million tons of waste annually, of which only 43 million tons are collected and only 20 percent is processed for recycling, indicating a significant, underserved market that is ripe for expansion.
The sector, which is worth between 13 and 25 billion dollars annually, is expected to grow at a minimum rate of 6-8 percent. Government initiatives such as the Swachh Bharat campaign underscore the nation's commitment to waste management and the integration of technology for transformative impact. Gurugram-based Let'scrap is a pioneer in comprehensive recycling solutions, committed to eco-friendly practices that create sustainable value for both customers and the environment. The firm aims to simplify the path of recycling to a transparent, sustainable, and 'green' model generating immense economic value for its customers.
Bridging the Gap
“Our firm addresses a significant barrier in the waste management industry by tackling the lack of consumer awareness and engagement. Many individuals desire to contribute to the circular economy but struggle to access relevant services, leading to inefficient waste disposal practices.
We bridge this gap through technology-driven solutions and a commitment to value. Our on-demand waste collection service ensures convenience and reliability, empowering consumers to participate effectively.
Moreover, we offer a unique option for customers to donate proceeds from recyclables to NGOs, promoting environmental sustainability and social responsibility simultaneously”, said Udaibhan Singh, Founder, Let'scrap. At the heart of its strategy is prioritizing suppliers—individuals, families, societies, shopkeepers, SMEs, and industries—who generate scrap. The firm deeply engages with them, raising awareness about recycling benefits, using technology for efficiency, and emphasizing environmental stewardship. Its USP also centers on exceptional service delivery, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable recycling experience that garners positive wordof- mouth.
