A plastic-eating robot shark is being deployed into London’s Canary Wharf in a bid to reduce water pollution in the area.
Ahead of Global Recycling Day on March 18, the WasteShark can collect up to 500kg of plastic waste – the equivalent of 22,700 plastic bottles – a day.
It will also gather microplastics and other pollutants as it makes its way through 5km of waterway before needing a recharge.
