[Academic Survey] Are you an SME manufacturer or factory manager? Help a software engineering student build a B2B industrial byproduct exchange tool (4-6 mins)

Hi everyone,

I am a final-year Software Engineering student building my capstone project: an AI-powered B2B marketplace designed to help small and medium-sized manufacturing businesses monetize their surplus industrial materials (plastics, glass, metal, wood, cardboard) instead of paying to dispose of them.

Many industrial operators generate usable byproducts, but lack a low-friction way to find local buyers or recyclers. To ensure the platform I am coding actually solves real-world operational challenges, I need input from professionals who deal with supply chain, procurement, or facility management.

The survey takes exactly 4–6 minutes and does not require any sensitive company data. Your insights will directly shape the database architecture and feature set of the MVP.
