Maresme Circular<\/strong> has installed eleven accessible raised platforms<\/strong> at different points along the route of the Maresme Integral Centre for Waste Recovery <\/strong>to adapt the guided tours offered to people with reduced mobility<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The platforms, made of plastic waste<\/strong>, allow visitors to see the different municipal waste treatment processes <\/strong>through large windows: from when the trucks carrying the residual waste fraction unload the rubbish into the pit, to when different technologies separate it according to whether it is plastic, metal, cardboard or glass waste. During the tour you can also see the process of biostabilization<\/strong> of organic waste.<\/p>\n Accessible platforms that allow viewing of the different processes of municipal waste treatment \/ Maresme Circular<\/p><\/div>\n Last year (2022-2023) the Centre received more than 6,200 visitors<\/strong>, and it is estimated that this year more than 7,000 users<\/strong> will come to enjoy the guided tour.<\/p>\n Since November 2022, when the Maresme Circular Immersive Experience<\/strong><\/a> activity began, school visits to the Maresme Integral Centre for Waste Recovery have been increasing.<\/p>\n The activity consists of a journey to the<\/strong> present and future of recycling<\/strong> through Virtual Reality<\/strong> and is experienced as a complement to the guided tour of the different waste treatment processes at the Centre.<\/p>\n Using Meta Quest 2 virtual reality glasses with a resolution of 5K, and through a series of virtual flights that generate a highly immersive 3D sensation, the user flies over the Maresme Integral Centre for Waste Recovery enjoying panoramic views of Matar\u00f3 and much of the region, travels into space and lands in a sustainable and self-sufficient city of the future.<\/strong> All this in 25 minutes and with the help of an animated drone that besides guiding the visitor, teaches concepts such as the circular economy<\/strong> and downcycling.<\/p>\n The experience is suitable for people from 7 years old<\/strong> and is available in three languages: Catalan, Spanish and English<\/strong>.
