VR SOP Training for Waste & Recycling Operations

Safer plants, cleaner outputs and fewer stoppages

MRFs, WtE and AD plants handle heavy machinery and variable feedstocks. Spark creates bespoke VR training around your conveyors, screens, optical sorters, bunkers, boilers and digesters—so teams learn the correct order safely.

Pain points we address

• Safety: guarding, LOTO, mobile plant interactions and fire response.
• Process control: feeder rates, contamination removal and boiler/digester stability.
• Maintenance: screen changes, shredder checks and ash/char handling.
• Environmental: dust, odour, noise and emissions compliance.

Our bespoke build method

1. Capture SOPs & permits: risk controls, start-up/shutdown and inspection rounds.
2. Create scenarios: line start, jam/overload recovery, boiler trip and emergency drills.
3. Coach in VR: prompts that match your signage and checks.
4. Assess: right-first-time, downtime causes and retraining needs.

Benefits

• Fewer incidents and cleaner, more consistent outputs.
• Shorter stoppages and faster recovery.
• Audit-ready competence records for regulators and clients.

Why Spark

We train your exact methods on a digital twin of your plant—so skills transfer on day one.
