"The problem of persistent plastic waste and lack of adequate recycling solutions poses a significant challenge to current and future generations. As the amount of plastic placed on market (POM) continues to increase, the amount we recycle is failing to make tangible inroads into curbing the amount of end-of-life plastic POM being disposed (landfill, incineration, lost to the environment) e.g. 62% of plastic packaging (1.3m tonnes per year) annually never gets recycled. Although there is not one main cause or solution to this problem, there are insufficient market applications in the UK suitable for lower grade plastic recyclates. The PROMOTE project will take advantage of lower grade waste plastic as part of a world's first solution capable of exploiting a significant global opportunity: the rehabilitation of deteriorated underground piping and drainage infrastructure, a market worth in excess £7.71billion. Our solution will achieve step-change performance over CIPP (Cure in Place Polymer), the market's current leading solution."

"Atlantis Hydrotec® is a simple “pipe in a pipe” solution that provides a conduit to a building by installing a micro-bore water pipe within the existing water supply infrastructure into which a fibre optic communications cable can then be safely installed without any adverse effect on the water supply. The micro-bore pipe is made out of the same materials as the existing fresh water supply pipe and conforms to the required international water industry standards. This simple but effective solution overcomes the difficulties associated with more conventional FTTH solutions: the problems relating to digging up roads and driveways to the building, the costs of excavation and the time to install the fibre. It is these issues that have delayed the adoption of FTTH – the difficulty of connecting the final cable run to the building."
