Over the years, the amount of waste produced has been increasing and shows no signs of slowing down. Predictions suggest that by 2050, the production of municipal solid waste will rise by approximately 70% to 3.4 billion metric tons. This will lead to an enormous demand for recycling facilities and production.

The recycling industry faces numerous challenges and risks, with personnel safety being a top priority. It’s alarming to know that waste management and recycling workers are exposed to various levels of danger while on the job. Waste and recycling had the second-highest workplace death rate in 2020-21. According to provisional HSE statistics the fatality rate for waste and recycling was 2.57 per 100,000 workers.
