CHESAPEAKE, Va., Feb. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: GWAV) ("Greenwave" or the "Company"), a leading innovator in the metal recycling sector, today announced the adoption of its AI-powered car buying platform, Scrap App, by one of the largest buyers of junk cars in the United States. This will power Scrap App's rapid, cost-effective expansion into 27 new markets as it continues to capture market shares.

Scrap App immediately expanded into three key markets: Charlotte, NC, Winston-Salem, NC, and Columbia, SC, in addition to its five existing markets. The Company plans to expand Scrap App into multiple new markets every week, leveraging AI to automate operations and outperform competitors.

Aims to be #1 Junk Car Platform in $32 Billion Market

Scrap App is now being utilized by one of the largest buyers of junk cars in the industry by dollar volume, building on its objective success in initial launch markets. The Company is disrupting the fragmented $32 billion U.S. auto recycling industry _(1), where a leading competitor reported $130.7 million in FY 2024 revenue _(2). With its technology-first approach and AI-driven efficiencies, Greenwave is positioned to capture substantial market share and drive revenue acceleration.

AI-Powered Automation: Driving Efficiency and Margin Expansion

On January 27, 2025, Scrap App deployed its proprietary AI Operator, streamlining:

• Real-time, AI-generated quotes for junk vehicles, ensuring competitive pricing.
• Automated scheduling for vehicle pickups, increasing operational efficiency.
• Autonomous customer interactions, enhancing user experience and scalability.

The AI Operator, developed for approximately $20,000 using internally generated cash flows, is expected to yield hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual cost savings while significantly boosting profit margins. This automation-driven approach fortifies Greenwave's competitive edge, fueling both top-line growth and operational leverage.
