Kingston is set to become home to the UK’s first waste and recycling robotics hub.
The Council is heralding a “landmark partnership” led by the authority and Kingston University.
The hub will pioneer advanced robotics to boost recycling rates and tackle waste.
It will develop and test robots to sort rubbish more quickly and accurately, helping to improve recycling rates and reduce waste.
The project has secured £3.6 million in funding from Innovate UK, following initial support from the council.
We’re also told the hub will support more than 150 organisations by 2030 and create skilled jobs in the green technology sector.
