Remechain is proud to announce the development of the world’s first decentralized scrap metal marketplace based on blockchain. The platform aims to standardize the global scrap metal market by unifying market participants on a safe, secure, and accessible platform.
Scrap metal recycling is a 3 times cheaper way to get ferrous for casting of industrial products. In 2016 alone, the global market trade volume for secondary metal exceeded $106 billion. This volume is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years. However, the market is still highly inefficient, characterized by procedural barriers, lack of counterparties verification, widespread fraud, inflated logistics costs, and inaccessibility to newcomers.
Remechain has competitive advantages over traditional intermediaries in the scrap market. The platform provides a much wider volume of information and services to support market participants; all partnerships go through the system of transparent smart-contracts. It is reported that platform development already been supported by direct investment from a few private and strategic investors for a total $130,000.
