CHESAPEAKE, Va., Feb. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: GWAV) ("Greenwave" or the "Company"), a leading scrap metal recycling chain, today selected GreenSpark—the metal recycling industry's fastest-growing, AI-powered operating system—as its core platform. After an exhaustive review of top-tier point-of-sale and ERP systems, Greenwave tapped GreenSpark's cutting-edge technology to supercharge its operational efficiency, accelerate revenue growth, and expand margins.

Founded by Goldman Sachs veteran Gordon Driscoll, GreenSpark has closed a powerhouse ~$25 million war chest from elite investors like BMW i Ventures, Zero Infinity Partners, Third Prime, Bienville Capital, and Tiger Global. This underscores GreenSpark's considerable momentum, with its customer base surging over 300% in the past year alone. The platform's next-gen AI capabilities are poised to redefine industry standards, unlocking unprecedented value for operators.

Greenwave's adoption of GreenSpark—set to roll out across its operations in early March 2025—positions the Company alongside 500+ top-tier scrap yard locations already thriving on the platform. Serving the leading operators in metals recycling and automotive industries, GreenSpark's scalable ecosystem aligns perfectly with Greenwave's aggressive growth plans. Greenwave expects GreenSpark's platform will begin contributing to revenue and margin growth in March 2025 and compound through the rest of 2025.

"We're incredibly excited to partner with Greenwave as they integrate GreenSpark across their expanding operations," said Gordon Driscoll, Founder and CEO of GreenSpark. "Greenwave's exceptional management team has consistently demonstrated their ability to drive growth and operational excellence in the metal recycling industry. Together, we're not just optimizing recycling operations—we're building a more sustainable and efficient future for the entire metals ecosystem. This partnership represents a significant milestone in our journey to revolutionize how the industry operates, and we look forward to helping Greenwave accelerate their ambitious growth trajectory in 2025 and beyond."

With GreenSpark's AI-driven insights and Greenwave's operational scale, the Company is primed to rapidly capture market share in the multi-billion-dollar scrap metal industry.
