Prices for Scrap Steel have Surged More than 20% the Past Month and are Expected to Go Higher, Driving Significant Revenue Grown and Margin Expansion

CHESAPEAKE, Va., March 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: GWAV) ("Greenwave" or the "Company"), today announced that Chief Executive Officer Danny Meeks will be interviewed by Chief Business, Technology and Economics Correspondent for ABC News, Rebecca Jarvis, on Good Morning America this morning. Tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports are now effective without exception or exclusion.

Metal Tariffs Expected to Remain in Effect for Foreseeable Future

While country-specific tariffs are often modified, metal tariffs are a national security concern and are expected to remain in effect for the foreseeable future. America cannot be dependent on foreign entities for the supply of raw material necessary to build and manufacture the infrastructure, warships, and facilities vital to U.S. economic and national security interests.

Trump's Shipbuilding Initiative to Increase Demand for a Finite Scrap Supply in $GWAV's Primary Market

President Trump's shipbuilding initiative is expected to increase demand for a finite supply of scrap metal in Greenwave's primary market – home to the largest naval base in the world, operational hubs for America's leading defense contractors, and primary shipyards for the construction, maintenance, and deactivation of U.S. Navy aircraft carriers, assault ships, destroyers, and nuclear submarines.

Greenwave supplies Nucor's Hertford facility with steel critical for bridges, heavy equipment, and U.S. Navy warships, including the $13 billion USS Gerald Ford aircraft carrier_(1). Further, Greenwave is routinely awarded contracts by the U.S. Federal Government, major corporations, and municipalities that provide $GWAV a significant, consistent supply channel of high-quality scrap metal. The Company operates the sole metal recycling facility in Virginia Beach – directly across the street from NAS Oceana, the U.S. Navy's East Coast Master Jet Base.

Forthcoming Copper Tariffs to Accelerate Revenue Growth and Margin Expansion

Greenwave operates 13 metal recycling facilities in Virginia, North Carolina, and Ohio, providing 100% domestically-sourced scrap metal to Nucor, Sims, and Cleveland-Cliffs, alongst other industry titans. $GWAV is optimally positioned to benefit from President Trump's shipbuilding initiative and soon to be announced tariffs on copper imports.
