Sherbourne Recycling has been founded by eight West Midlands councils.
A new multimillion-pound recycling facility in Coventry is to use robots and AI technology to sort rubbish.It was founded by eight West Midlands councils and will process the rubbish of 1.5m people across the region.
The facility is at the final stages of going fully live to turn residential mixed recycling into high-quality materials to be returned to the UK market, rather than being sent abroad.Councillor Carolyn Watson-Merret said the facility was "very impressive"The waste would go through two cylinders that take out oversized materials and glass before a process to separate the key components, she said.
She added: "They're talking back to the optics that are working a stage before them, they know what they're looking for, the AI is bringing the whole system together and they're targeting those key items for us that we don't want there - last little bits of film or tissues... we pull them off and then we've got exactly what we're looking for at the end.
