VIRGINIA BEACH, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc. ("Greenwave" or the "Company") (OTCPink:MSRT), is pleased to report it has sold all of its social media assets and no longer has any exposure to the cannabis industry. The Company recently opened its 11^th metal recycling facility in Virginia Beach and plans to roll-up independent, profitable scrap metal facilities over the coming months.

Demand for prime metallic scrap is expected to increase by approximately 41% from current levels to 29.6 million gross tons by fiscal year 2025₍₁₎. At the same time, the supply of prime steel scrap has been shrinking consistently for more than 50 years, according to a Steel Research Associates, LLC Scrap Model₍₁₎. Greenwave’s management believes that this supply/demand imbalance, in addition to strong inflationary pressures, will likely contribute to rising metal prices for the foreseeable future.

“This is a fresh start for Greenwave and under my leadership, we will be relentlessly focused on growing our revenues, increasing our bottom line, and creating significant shareholder value,” stated Danny Meeks, Chief Executive Officer of Greenwave. “With a significant supply/demand imbalance for recycled steel expected to continue through at least 2025₍₁₎, we believe prices for metals will continue to remain strong for the foreseeable future – especially if inflationary pressures persist and the U.S. federal government enacts the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.”

Greenwave is in the final stages of preparing its formal application to uplist to the NASDAQ or NYSE, as the Company believes a listing on a national exchange would result in a significant increase in visibility, liquidity, and institutional interest for its stock.
