The Waste Sorting Challenge · Virtual reality and touchscreens

Put your sorting guidelines into practice.

The Waste Sorting Challenge invites participants to make decisions in a virtual sorting centre. Every mistake becomes an opportunity to explain the guidelines for your area or organisation.

A configurable tool for local authorities, businesses and awareness teams.

One headset, and a whole group that can take part. Screen mirroring lets everyone follow the session, suggest answers and discuss sorting guidelines with the facilitator.

A practical situation to start a conversation

Choose, check, understand.

  1. Sort waste items

    Waste items arrive on a conveyor belt. Participants choose the container they believe is correct, using the guidelines configured for the session.

  2. Review mistakes

    The debrief revisits incorrectly sorted items. It helps identify hesitation and clarify the rule to apply.

  3. Discuss with the facilitator

    Session results provide a basis for discussion: why this container, which exceptions apply and how can the right actions become everyday habits?

Your guidelines, your context

Configure the experience around the situations that matter to you.

Sorting rules vary between areas and organisations. The Waste Sorting Challenge lets you select waste items and define containers, colours and the associated guidelines.

  • A waste catalogue to build your sessions.
  • Customisable containers, colours and guidelines.
  • Different environments, including industry and construction.
  • Specific waste items or environments can be reviewed on request.

We define customisation with you, distinguishing available settings from development work specific to your project.

Debrief and statistics

Results and sorting statistics help identify items that raise questions. They support the preparation of explanations and future sessions.

A screen that involves the whole group

Mirroring the VR session lets people without a headset follow the waste items and the participant’s choices. They can suggest a container, explain their answer and join a group discussion led by the facilitator.

Your questions about the Waste Sorting Challenge.

Can we work with waste from our own activity?

The catalogue lets you select waste items for your sessions. If a specific item or environment is missing, its integration can be assessed and quoted as part of your project.

Can the application be used offline?

Offline use is possible with a prepared setup. Licence conditions, content to install and connections needed for preparation or updates should be reviewed for your use case.

Is equipment included in the licence?

Equipment, applications and services are specified in your proposal. Tell us about your existing equipment so we can review its compatibility.
