Recycling Centre Staff Training · Virtual reality

Train recycling centre staff through practice.

Check access, choose the right destination for a waste item and review mistakes: give your staff practical decisions to make in a virtual recycling centre.

Created in collaboration with Nicollin.

RecyclageVR offers three professional modules, a training mode and an assessment mode. Use them to build training sessions and discuss the decisions made.

Access checks: examine the situation before making a decision.

Three workplace situations

Observe, decide and direct waste.

Each module covers one part of the recycling centre workflow, using the guidelines chosen for the session.

Check access

Examine the information presented at the entrance and the waste brought in. The agent chooses to allow, partially allow or refuse access according to the scenario.

Sort at the unloading area

Pick up virtual waste items and place them in the appropriate containers. Each choice receives feedback.

Identify routes for specific hazardous waste

Practise classifying the waste items in the module for specific household hazardous waste (DDS), using its containers and guidelines.

Training and assessment

Practise a module, then review the results.

Practise a scenario

Training mode lets you select a module and continue practising until you return to the selection screen. You can focus a session on access checks, the unloading area or DDS.

Review the answers

Assessment mode runs through the modules enabled for the session. The summary shows correct decisions, mistakes and results by module, providing a practical basis for a debrief with the trainer.

Your organisation

Build a session that serves your teams.

Enabled modules, waste items and sorting assignments can be configured. The trainer can launch training, start an assessment or stop a session from the experience controls.

Tell us about your staff’s responsibilities, your guidelines and your equipment. Together, we can review the right setup and how virtual reality fits into your training programme.
