Greenwave Generated Over $200,000 in Revenue from Cars Purchased through
Scrap App During its First 130 Days
Company is Developing Artificial Intelligence
to Optimize Pricing and Automate Systems to Create Efficiencies as
it Continues to Capture Market Share
CHESAPEAKE, Va., Jan. 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Greenwave Technology Solutions,
Inc. ("Greenwave" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: GWAV), a leading
operator of metal recycling facilities in Virginia, North
Carolina, and Ohio, today
announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Scrap App, Inc. ("Scrap
App"), is continuing to capture market share in initial strategic
markets, Cleveland, Ohio, and
Hampton Roads, Virginia. Greenwave
has generated more than $200,000 in
revenue from cars purchased through Scrap App in its first 130 days
since launch, as it captures market share for end-of-life motor
vehicles.
The Company plans to expand Scrap App to additional strategic
markets in February and March of 2024.
Greenwave believes Scrap App has the potential to scale
significantly, with a competitor reportedly generating $159
million in annual revenue(1). Greenwave believes
that efficiencies created by its vertical integration of key stages
of the car scrapping process could create significant competitive
advantages.
Scrap App has adopted the lean startup methodology – expanding
primarily utilizing the cashflows it generates from operating
activities – while focusing on developing systems that will enable
it to scale in a manner that is capital-efficient. Similar to how
Tinder operated as a startup within Match Group, Inc., initially a
subsidiary of IAC, Inc., Greenwave intends to utilize its expansive
expertise in the $41.4 billion metal
scrap industry(2) to develop Scrap App into an
industry-leading technology platform.
Greenwave is developing artificial intelligence to optimize its
pricing operation and automate certain systems and processes to
create and enhance efficiencies.

metal processing volumes and operating efficiencies, including
a downstream recovery system and cloud-based ERP system.
