General domestic plastic waste tends to be mixed heavily with non-plastic contaminants. These contaminants mostly act to inhibit adequate formation of finished articles. Existing multi-step cleaning and purification techniques are technically challenging and highly expensive. As a result, only a relatively small percentage of plastics are recycled, estimates in the UK are 27%. Furthermore, it is estimated that 3 million tonnes of mixed plastic waste ends up in landfill across the UK each year. The technology under development by ETE aims to address this issue by allowing plastic waste to be used directly as a raw material, without first requiring elaborate separation and cleaning processes. The implications are profound and will result in the world's very first high performance eco-engineered panel, leading to significant diversions of waste landfill and the creation of high-value product streams.

一般家庭塑料垃圾往往与非塑料污染物严重混合。这些污染物主要用于抑制成品的充分形成。现有的多步骤清洁和纯化技术在技术上具有挑战性并且非常昂贵。因此，只有相对较小比例的塑料被回收，英国估计为27%。此外，据估计，英国每年有300万吨混合塑料废物最终被填埋。埃特正在开发的技术旨在通过允许塑料废物直接用作原材料来解决这个问题，而无需首先进行复杂的分离和清洁过程。其影响是深远的，并将导致世界上第一个高性能的生态工程面板，导致废物填埋场的显着转移和创造高价值的产品流。
