Waste Composition Analysis: Advanced object recognition to classify materials in real time, enabling smarter sorting and data-driven decisions.

# AI Innovation for safer smarter waste management

At Viu More, we partnered with Viridor, one of the UK’s leading recycling and energy recovery companies, to deliver a suite of AI-powered vision systems that tackle critical challenges in waste processing.

Waste streams are unpredictable. Hidden hazards and contamination can lead to costly downtime, safety risks, and reduced recycling quality. Our AI solutions empower Viridor to do:

- **Gas Bottle Detection**: AI vision systems trained to identify pressurised canisters in mixed waste streams, preventing explosions and equipment damage.
- **Waste Composition Analysis**: Advanced object recognition to classify materials in real time, enabling smarter sorting and data-driven decisions.
- **Large Object Detection**: High-speed cameras and deep learning models to flag oversized items that could jam conveyors or damage shredders.
