Greenwave launches AI expansion of Scrap App

Greenwave Technology Solutions Inc., a Chesapeake, Virginia-based metals recycler, has launched an artificial intelligence- (AI-) powered expansion of its subsidiary, Scrap App.

Greenwave says Scrap App’s AI operator enables it to autonomously provide real-time quotes for scrap cars, schedule vehicle pickups and handle customer inquiries. This automation reduces operating costs, enhances scalability and improves customer experience, according to Greenwave.

With an existing presence in Virginia, North Carolina and Ohio, Greenwave plans to expand Scrap App into the top U.S. markets by the end of the year.

“Scrap App’s AI technology is redefining the junk car industry,” Greenwave CEO Danny Meeks says. “This innovation not only enhances operational efficiency but also positions us as a leader capable of scaling rapidly in a high-growth market.”

Greenwave operates 13 metal recycling facilities, supplying steel mills and industrial partners. The company is headquartered in Chesapeake, Virginia, with operations across Virginia, North Carolina and Ohio.

The company launched Scrap App in September 2023 as an optimized pricing tool for scrap vehicles.

“We’re building Scrap App to create a smoother and more efficient scrapping experience for both scrappers and businesses,” Meeks said at the time of Scrap App's launch. “If Scrap App gains widespread adoption, we intend to charge a fee for every transaction it facilitates—along with monthly recurring listing fees.”
