Greenwave Technology Solutions is a metal recycling company based in the United States. It collects and processes scrap metal — things like old cars, appliances, and industrial equipment — then sells the recycled metal to steel mills and other manufacturers. The company operates a network of scrap metal processing facilities, primarily across the eastern United States.

Greenwave makes money by buying scrap metal, shredding and processing it, and selling the processed material at a markup. It is a small company with a market cap near zero, meaning it is very tiny compared to major recycling firms. The business faces significant financial pressure, as its operating margin is deeply negative, meaning it spends much more than it earns from operations. The main risk is that scrap metal prices are highly volatile and set by global commodity markets, which makes it hard for a small operator like Greenwave to consistently turn a profit.
