Why we have invested:
At Inclimo, we back business models that tackle structural bottlenecks in sectors that are critical to the climate transition. ScrapAd addresses a core challenge of the circular economy: the inefficiency and lack of transparency in the global trade of recyclable materials, particularly metals, which are a critical input for electrification, renewable energy, and industrial activity.
Its solution delivers direct environmental impact by increasing recycling rates, reducing reliance on virgin raw materials, and lowering the energy consumption and emissions associated with primary metal production. At the same time, it creates economic value by improving pricing, liquidity, and access to international markets for recyclers and industrial buyers.
The founding team combines deep operational expertise in the recycling industry with a strong technological vision and proven international execution capabilities. With demonstrated traction, fast-growing GMV, and a clear roadmap towards higher-margin services (logistics, financing, and data), ScrapAd is well positioned to become the leading digital infrastructure for the global trade of recycled metals.
