Beach cleaning robots remove plastics from Saudi beaches



Red Sea Global, a developer behind a number of major tourism-focused projects in Saudi Arabia, has unveiled beach cleaning robots designed to keep its waterfronts plastic free.

The latest innovation from the PIF-backed organisation, the robot has been programmed to collect plastic and other waste and debris, with the ability to identify items as small as one square centimetre. In one hour, one robot is capable of cleaning 3,000sq m (32,300sqft) of beach.



Red Sea Global is seen as “a cornerstone” of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 plan, which aims to diversify its economy and reduce its dependence on oil by developing tourism and entertainment destinations. In its role, the company is aiming to transform the nation, creating significant economic opportunities for the people of Saudi Arabia and actively enhancing the kingdom’s environmental and cultural heritage.

In addition to three tourist resorts, the developer is working on a further 13 hotels that will open in 2024. Upon full completion in 2030, the Red Sea destination will comprise 50 resorts with up to 8,000 hotel rooms and an array of visitor attractions across 22 islands and six inland sites. Features include luxury marinas, golf courses, entertainment, F&B and leisure destinations.
