Problem / pain point

Bangladesh's scrap industry remains largely informal and fragmented, making it difficult for households, offices, and businesses to find reliable scrap collection services and get fair value for their recyclable waste. Meanwhile, local Vangariwalas struggle to access consistent customers, while valuable recyclable materials are lost through inefficient collection and middlemen. E-Vangariwala exists to bridge this gap by digitizing scrap collection and connecting waste generators, local collectors, and recyclers through a more organized and transparent value chain.

Solution

E-Vangariwala allows individuals, offices, and factories to schedule scrap pickups at their preferred date and time through our online platform. We onboard and train existing Vangariwalas, assigning them pickup requests based on location and availability. They collect the scrap and bring it to our aggregation hub, where we sort and supply the materials directly to recyclers.

Target customer

Individuals, households, offices, and factories use our platform to schedule scrap pickups. Recycling companies are our primary paying customers, purchasing the collected and aggregated scrap materials.
