Company's Downstream Processing System Generated Record Revenues in May 2024
Greenwave Reiterates its Confidence in Exceeding Revenue Guidance of $40 million Driven by Both Increased Volume and Higher Prices
Copper Prices Hit an All-Time High in May 2024 Due to Demand for Electric Vehicles and AI Technologies(1)
CHESAPEAKE, Va., June 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc. ("Greenwave" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: GWAV), an operator of metal recycling facilities in Virginia, North Carolina, and Ohio, announced today that its downstream processing system generated record revenues in May 2024, driven by both increased volume and higher prices.
According to a May 27, 2024 Credendo Research Report, Copper Sector: Record-Breaking Copper Prices Amid Speculations of Supply Shortages, demand for copper is being driven by a, "boom in investments in green technologies (e.g. renewables and electrical vehicles) and in AI technologies(1)."
In July 2023, Greenwave commenced operation of a downstream processing system at its Kelford, North Carolina facility, enabling the Company to recover millimeter-minus pieces of metal from its automotive shred residue or "fluff" as it is known in the industry. The Company has invested more than $500,000 in an Orbcon PTV balling mill, focused on extracting copper from the shred residue.
Greenwave is on track to generate record revenues driven by the volume of steel and copper processed in 2024. Copper prices hit an all-time high in May 2024.
