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.

The project goals
Prevent accidents
by detecting dangerous items before they reach critical stages
Optimise recycling purity
supporting circular economy goals
Boost efficiency and compliance
reducing operational risks and costs
The Viu More solution
Each solution was integrated seamlessly into Viridor’s existing infrastructure, with edge AI hardware, real-time monitoring, and scalable architecture designed for future expansion. Continuous retraining workflows ensure adaptability as waste profiles evolve.

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.
