Waste is a word that has been around since the Roman times. While humans conserved our material goods and resources as a matter survival, in some cases waste was generated. In other words, resources that were no longer needed. Humans left a ‘waste footprint’, similar to how we have a ‘carbon footprint’. In the business sense, when there is waste, it means there is an inefficiency somewhere. So being smart with our material decisions can help minimize the 'waste footprint' that is generated.
Historically, we have never tracked our waste footprint. Yet organizations are producing waste at an exponential rate, with experts estimating we've tripled waste production in the last 50 years. This unsustainable pattern demands immediate action. The problem is most businesses operate with an "out of sight, out of mind" approach to waste - but this outdated thinking costs you money, compliance headaches, and brand reputation.
Scrapp's mission is to optimize organization's material footprint before it becomes waste, providing comprehensive data tracking services to achieve their zero-waste goals seamlessly without overhauling existing practices. By highlighting specific areas for improvement, you gain a targeted approach at a fraction of the cost of traditional waste management. Then using that data, using digital tools to help educate and communicate the impact at a wider scale.
The opportunity with waste is that it is a tangible resource. No logistics to collect waste? Enjoy having it pile up on your premises. It smells, attract rodents and costs money to shift. Becoming a 100% zero-waste business is the goal, but may not be attainable for a while. That is okay - progress over perfection.
Our mission is to simplify this process, providing comprehensive waste data tracking to help businesses achieve their zero-waste goals seamlessly without having to overhaul existing practices. By highlighting areas of improvement, a more targeted approach can be had for a fraction of the cost.
