ScrapWorks Inc. Sandbox DEMO

One worker. One sorting bench. A business to build.

What others throw away is where your business begins.

Start small in ScrapWorks Inc., a recycling management sandbox where you turn incoming waste into valuable materials—and reinvest the profits in a factory of your own design.

Sort your first deliveries, keep your workers busy, and make room for the next load. As your business grows, unlock new machinery, connect production lines, and tackle the challenges of a larger operation.

Build your factory, your way

Draw your own layout with walls, doors and floors. Create production halls, offices and breakrooms, then expand into neighboring lots as your ambitions outgrow your yard.

From scrap to finished products

Recover paper, metal, plastic, glass and electronics. Develop production chains, move materials with conveyor belts, and buy specialist inputs to keep your machines supplied.

More than machines

Recruit and train your crew, organize shifts, establish departments and research new capabilities. Complete milestones, upgrade storage and equipment, and balance incoming waste against the space and hands available to process it.

Plan for growth

Take on customer orders, arrange automatic waste supply, and develop power and water networks as your factory becomes more complex.

Every new production line needs more than space. It needs a plan.
