In a linear supply chain, more than 90% of industrial components are scrapped at the end of use.
This causes waste of embodied energy and scarce raw materials, which results in additional carbon-intensive processes to extract and process materials.

Asset managers and sustainability managers in large industrial companies are trying to implement circular strategies like repair, remanufacture, re-purpose, and recycling of end-of-use components such that they can reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the supply chain.
They are using the manual procurement processes to find circular economy service providers and using add-on supplier portals to manage logistics, data sharing, and quality control.
These labor-intensive manual processes are costly, thus making the ROI threshold for circular economy very high.
These industry challenges inspired the Founders of WorkbenchX to build the supply chain platform that solves for circular economy gaps.
