Scrapp Inc. Wins $100K Innovation Grant for Miami-Dade Recycling Pilot as It Pursues Community Funding on Wefunder
Scrapp Inc., a startup focused on helping organizations reduce waste and improve recycling outcomes through software and education, has attracted fresh funding and support as it pushes to scale partnerships and product adoption.
In mid-January, the company launched an innovation pilot with Miami-Dade County that it said was boosted by a $100,000 innovation grant. The pilot is designed to help divert more material away from disposal by improving recycling education and generating better data on recycling behavior and outcomes. Scrapp has positioned its platform as a way to pair guidance for people on “how to recycle right” with analytics that can help organizations understand contamination, capture rates, and broader waste trends.
The company operates under the “Scrapp” brand and markets a suite of digital tools aimed at businesses, brands and retailers, communities, and individual users. On its website, Scrapp describes itself as a “zero-waste made simple” platform and likens its approach to becoming “the QuickBooks for waste,” offering waste accounting, communication, and education tools to support zero-waste ambitions and reduce landfill dependence. Scrapp has also highlighted the role of data and behavior change in improving diversion outcomes, framing its product as a way to make correct disposal easier and more consistent across stakeholders.
Beyond grant funding tied to pilots, Scrapp has also pursued equity crowdfunding. The company has run a raise on Wefunder, describing itself as a mission-led platform that aims to make recycling simple, fun, and rewarding. In its campaign materials, Scrapp outlined tiered fundraising targets—including a minimum raise level and a larger “most desirable” scenario—linked to runway and staffing plans. Equity crowdfunding backers on Wefunder typically participate as a large pool of community investors rather than a small number of traditional venture firms, and Scrapp’s public fundraising materials positioned the raise as a way to finance growth while building a broader base of supporters aligned with its sustainability mission.
Scrapp also emphasizes credibility signals that are increasingly important for climate and impact-focused companies selling into enterprises and the public sector. The company is listed as a Certified B Corporation, reflecting a certification process that evaluates social and environmental performance, governance, transparency, and accountability. Scrapp has said it pursued the certification to formalize its commitment to balancing purpose and profit while building long-term value through environmental outcomes and community impact.
While Scrapp’s public materials point to multiple sources of capital and support, details on institutional investors in the company’s latest financing are limited in widely accessible public disclosures. Some third-party databases and social posts reference funding rounds for entities using the “Scrapp” name, but “Scrapp” is also used by unrelated companies in other sectors and geographies, making it important to distinguish Scrapp Inc.’s waste and recycling platform from similarly named businesses.
What is clear from Scrapp’s own communications is the company’s strategy: combine practical recycling guidance with data-driven software that helps organizations measure waste streams, reduce costs, avoid landfills, and cut emissions. The Miami-Dade pilot indicates a willingness to work with large public-sector partners on real-world deployments, while the Wefunder campaign reflects an effort to tap community financing and build grassroots momentum around its mission.
As the waste and recycling industry faces pressure to improve diversion rates and reduce contamination—especially as municipalities and brands try to meet sustainability goals—Scrapp is betting that better information, delivered at the moment people make disposal decisions, can translate into measurable operational gains. The company’s near-term trajectory will likely be shaped by its ability to turn pilots and community fundraising into repeatable, scalable contracts and long-term platform engagement, proving that digital waste accounting and education can move the needle for both organizations and everyday recyclers.
