Waste Ventures India

Transform the waste ‘dumping’ sector into a waste ‘management’ sector
2016 SEED Award Ganador Green Technologies Hyderabad, India

Toter encompasses a broad network of third-party waste collectors – local scrap dealers and waste pickers – to offer household and business customers doorstep collection of any waste type and volume. Speed and reliability of waste pickups are ensured through customer rating systems and the enterprise’s scrap dealer partnership model.

Revenue streams are two-fold: from the sales of waste sourced from the app and delivered to WVI, and in the future, a small commission for each scrap dealer pick up.

  • Facilitating the work of 1000+ waste pickers and scrap dealers by providing them with an easier way to access waste.
