Project Industry Context
India’s e-waste recycling ecosystem is one of the fastest-growing segments within the circular economy, with market potential exceeding ₹21,000+ crore. Despite rapid growth, the industry continues to face structural challenges:
- Fragmented and informal supply chains
- Limited transparency in pricing and procurement
- Inefficient lead-to-sale conversion processes
- Liquidity constraints and delayed seller payments
- Poor inventory traceability across collection and warehousing
eMiNES was envisioned to address these challenges by creating a single, scalable digital ecosystem that connects all key stakeholders in the e-waste value chain.
Project Objective
To design and build an end-to-end digital platform that enables:
- Structured onboarding of individuals, scrap dealers, suppliers, corporates, and buyers
- Seamless e-waste sales from lead generation to conversion
- Efficient pickup, warehousing, and inventory management
- Transparent trading and faster settlements
- Scalable operations across B2C and B2B (metric-ton) transactions
