- SPSA Virginia signs a 20-year contract with AMP Robotics to process municipal solid waste (MSW) for 1.2 million residents.
- AMP's AI-based sorting technology will deploy MSW sortation lines and an organics management system to divert 50% of waste from landfills.
- The project aims to extend landfill life, reduce disposal costs, and adapt to organic waste management needs.
- Recycling rates are expected to double to 20%, eliminating the need for separate recycling facilities and trucks.
- AMP's solution will reduce carbon emissions by over 378,000 tons annually, equivalent to removing 88,000 cars from the road.
- The project will create approximately 100 jobs and build transferable skills in the local workforce.
- AMP's technology has processed 2.8 million tons of recyclables and identified over 200 billion items globally.
