• Dronecoria - Open source drone system for global reforestation - Dronecoria
• Multiscope Forester Planter - Milrem Robotics
• Trovador - Tree Planting Robot - Marta Bernardino

• WasteShark - small autonomous surface vessel (ASV) Designed for efficient aquatic waste management, integrating advanced sensors and technology for precise navigation and thorough cleaning. With zero greenhouse emissions and versatile, cost-effective operation, it offers an eco-friendly solution for various water bodies.
• MR. Trash Wheel - Mr. Trash, the waterwheel that effectively removes rubbish from the river using river current to power its operation, depositing debris into a dumpster for incineration, which in turn generates power for nearby homes. In times of insufficient water current, a solar panel supplements the waterwheel's power supply, ensuring continuous operation. MR. Trash in action - video
• 4ocean Mobile Skimmer The 4ocean Harbor Skimmer, equipped with two 150-gallon-per-minute pumps, collects up to 1,200 pounds of marine debris by creating a slow-suction effect on the water surface.
• SeaClear - multi robot system for search and collect water litters. The system consisting of a drone that searches for potential places to check, an underwater observation robot and a robot that collects garbage from the bottom of the water.
• Interceptor. Project developed by The Ocean Cleanup, designed to extract plastic pollution from rivers before it can reach the oceans. It is an autonomous system that uses boat and conveyor belts to collect debris from the water's surface, efficiently preventing the flow of plastic into marine environments.

• BeBot - Beach cleaning crawler robot is designed to sift through sand, smooth out large beach areas, gather seaweed, and transport loads efficiently. It ensures the removal of all debris within a specified zone. With its built-in alert system, BeBot guarantees safety around its operational area and is adept at navigating challenging terrains.
• Omurlu Kutero Beach Cleaning Robot Graduation robot project based on RPi4 and Arduino with camera for objects detection and recognition (Yolov5).

• Angsa Robotics developed autonomous waste collection robot for green spaces. It is able to detect trash thanks to AI, generates path with obstacle avoidance and conduct some performance analysis.

• ZenRobotics specializes in delivering a variety of automated waste sorting solutions. Known for incorporating its AI-driven robots within both established and newly developed recycling centers, the company offers a spectrum of solutions including standalone, retrofit, and greenfield systems.

• AMP Robotics AMP Cortex is capable of recognizing more than 100 types of materials under different conditions and guides robotic arms in selecting and categorizing them. The robots deployed by AMP Cortex are standard units sourced from ABB and Omron. However, the company sets itself apart through the rapidity and precision of its software. AMP Robotics' robots pick more than 80 pieces per minute. Kashish Rohra article about AMP Robotics.
• EverestLabs developed RecycleOS an AI software and robotics solution for recycling plants and materials recovery.
• Max-AI This adaptable technology seamlessly integrates into current material recovery operations to boost their sorting efficiency, without necessitating major infrastructure changes. Max-AI in action
