INTERVIEW: US metals recycler Greenwave sees surge in demand after tariff announcements

US steel manufacturers to secure domestic supplies due to tariffs
Scrap prices to surge due to tight supply, high demand: CFO
US metals recycler Greenwave Technologies has seen a rise in domestic bids for their steel after US President Donald Trump announced tariffs on all steel imports, Isaac Dietrich, CFO of Greenwave, said in an interview with S&P Global Commodity Insights.
Virigina-based Greenwave primarily supplies domestically sourced recycled steel to steel mills, and also sells secondary aluminum, copper, and rare earth metals. Dietrich said that major steel manufacturers, including Cleveland-Cliffs, Nucor, and Sims, have increased their demand for long-term supply agreements to secure sources of domestic metals. The tariff-induced demand influx led Greenwave to revise its 2025 revenue guidance and increase it by 10%.
"We saw a significant increase in bids from the major steel manufacturers recently, and they're going to keep going higher this month," Dietrich told Commodity Insights Feb. 11. "There'll be a significant increase in demand for a finite supply. So, we expect prices to go considerably higher in our markets."
US ferrous scrap prices have risen sharply this month due to Trump's tariff promises and tight supply. The daily Platts TSI US Midwest shredded scrap index was assessed at $435/lt on a delivered basis Feb. 11, unchanged from Feb. 10.
The 25% tariffs on all steel imports, set to take effect on March 12, have led to logistical shockwaves as US steel manufacturers scramble for more domestic supply sources to replace imports.
"Immediately, you're going to have some supply chain disruptions. Both Sims and Nucor are trying to lock us into long-term contracts to derisk from that," said Dietrich
He added that Trump's election win led Greenwave to start accumulating scrap inventory in anticipation of the tariffs.
"We also invested about $30 million in our equipment. We expanded our fleet to about 50 trucks. We purchased the land underlying our facilities, 7 facilities for approximately $15 million," he said.
While ferrous scrap operations constitute about 80% of Greenwave's business, the company has also seen that US tariffs and the recent trade tensions have presented opportunities for US rare earth metals markets.
"[Tariff conversations] started to influence rare earths back in early December. Honestly, it's not something we really focused on until we saw that value increase," Dietrich said. "Now we're making significant investments in the processing equipment and the knowledge needed to be an expert in rare earth metals."

Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc. Positioned to Capitalize on Nucor's Lexington Facility Launch and Record Domestic Demand
December 05 2024 - 8:16AM
PR Newswire (US)
CHESAPEAKE, Va., Dec. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: GWAV), a leader in metal recycling operations across Virginia, North Carolina, and Ohio, is set to benefit from the 2025 opening of Nucor Corporation's state-of-the-art steelmaking facility in Lexington, North Carolina. The facility's staggering 430,000-ton annual processing capacity, consisting of nearly 100% recycled materials, will significantly increase regional demand for recycled steel.
Positioned as a Leading Supplier
Greenwave stands as one of North Carolina's largest suppliers of recycled steel, operating five metal recycling facilities and an industry-leading American Pulverizer 60x85 shredder. Greenwave has a proven track record of supporting Nucor's operations, supplying its Hertford mill with steel for critical applications, including bridges, heavy equipment, and warships vital to American national security interests, including the $13 billion USS Gerald Ford aircraft carrier.
Key Growth Drivers and Market Opportunities
Surging Regional Infrastructure Demand: Supported by recent federal investment, the South Atlantic Region is experiencing an unprecedented surge in construction projects, driving demand for recycled metals.
Domestic Market Shift: Greenwave projects 75% of revenue will stem from domestic sales in 2025, up from 41% over the previous four years, as President-elect Trump's anticipated tariffs and trade policies reshape global steel dynamics. This transition is expected to result in significant revenue growth and margin expansion.
Sustainability Leadership: Operating 13 strategically located recycling facilities, Greenwave aligns with the growing emphasis on sustainable, domestically sourced ferrous and non-ferrous metals vital to the U.S. defense and infrastructure sectors.
Unlocking Shareholder Value
Greenwave's strong operational footprint and relationships with industry leaders – Nucor Corporation, Sims Metal Management, and Cleveland-Cliffs, Inc. – position the Company to capitalize on robust domestic demand and favorable policy shifts. As regional steel supply chains pivot toward sustainable and domestically sourced metals, Greenwave is optimally positioned for rapid growth.
About Greenwave – One of the Mid Atlantic's Leading Metal Recyclers
As an operator of 13 metal recycling facilities, Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: GWAV) supplies leading steel mills and industrial conglomerates with ferrous and non-ferrous metal. With steel being one of the most recycled materials worldwide, Greenwave supplies the raw metal utilized in critical infrastructure projects and U.S. warships vital to American national security interests. Headquartered in Chesapeake, VA, the Company has 167 employees with metal recycling operations across Virginia, North Carolina, and Ohio.
