About

TeknTrash Robotics Ltd. is a UK robotics company that designs and develops robots for unhealthy, unsanitary and dangerous environments, with a particular focus on waste handling and recycling. Its stated purpose is to give dangerous industries robotic-based solutions that reduce human exposure to hazardous conditions while improving safety, efficiency and reliability. The company began as an AI and analytics business in recycling: its ProduTrak platform rewarded consumers for recycling correctly while giving companies post-sale consumption data, and Stipra managed post-sales data to reveal consumer patterns, work that was covered by Euronews, the BBC, the World Economic Forum, Ecommerce News and Startups Magazine, and used by Google Cloud as a customer success story. It has since moved into robotics, and its flagship is ALPHA (Automated Large Processing Humanoid Assistant), a wheeled humanoid designed to stand where a human sorter stands on a recycling line and to pick waste from conveyor belts, carry volumes to trucks and lift weights in processing plants. TeknTrash delivers ALPHA as a Robot-as-a-Service rather than as a product sale, with a GBP 50,000 initial implementation charge, a twelve-month maturity period with no operational fees, and a monthly service fee afterwards equivalent to the salary of the worker ALPHA works alongside or replaces. The company has deployed a vision-based metal-detection system at Sacyr's tyre recycling plant near Madrid, described as Europe's largest, and runs a humanoid pilot with Sharp Group at its London recycling plant, where operatives wear Meta Quest 3 headsets running TeknTrash's HoloLab capture software so that the data can train ALPHA through LeRobot and NVIDIA Isaac GR00T. TeknTrash is headquartered at Canary Wharf in London and opened a China base at Suzhou Industrial Park in November 2025; it also operates a second office there under the name Titan Rui Technology. Its ALPHA robot is listed as HoloLab Ready and verified on Robolist.ai.
