Waste and recycling facilities depend on conveyors, balers, compactors, shredders, trommels, screens and sorting equipment to process large volumes of material efficiently. These machines also create some of the sector's most serious operational risks, particularly when employees intervene to clear blockages, investigate faults or perform maintenance. Bespoke Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) training can provide a powerful additional layer of operational competence. VR allows employees to practise dangerous procedures before approaching real machinery, while AR can provide context-specific guidance beside the equipment itself.
