                       SYMPHONY PLASTIC TECHNOLOGIES PLC
                   Conditional £1.7 million Share Placing and
                    Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting


Symphony Plastic Technologies Plc ('Symphony' or 'the Company'), the degradable
plastics company, announces that it is holding an Extraordinary General Meeting
'EGM' at 9:00 am on Thursday 31st March 2004, at Elstree House, Elstree Way,
Borehamwood, Hertfordshire WD6 1LE.

The purpose of the meeting is to approve a placing of 11,666,667 new ordinary
shares of 1p each, at a placing price of 15p each, in the capital of the Company
('New Ordinary Shares'), ranking pari passu in all respects with the existing
issued ordinary shares in the capital of the Company.  Application will be made
for all such New Ordinary Shares, once issued and allotted, to be admitted to
trading on AIM.

Reasons for the Proposed Placement

The Board of Symphony believe that it is in the best interests of the Company
and its shareholders to replace funds that are currently tied up in court and to
finance the anticipated increase in levels of existing business as well as to
facilitate further expansion.  The Proposed £1.7 million Placing will strengthen
Symphony's balance sheet and the Company will be well placed to meet the
expected high level of demand for d2w (R) totally degradable plastic products in
various markets and market sectors.
