NOTES TO EDITORS:

About Symphony Environmental Technologies plc

Symphony has recently developed a range of additives, concentrates and masterbatches marketed as d₂p®, which can be incorporated in a wide variety of plastic and non-plastic products so as to give them protection against many different types of bacteria, fungi, algae, mould and insects as well as protection against fire and odours.

In addition, Symphony has developed d2w® controlled-life plastic technology which causes ordinary plastic to convert at the end of its service-life into biodegradable materials. It is then no longer a plastic and can be bioassimilated in the open environment in the same way as a leaf. The technology is now well-established and Symphony's d₂w brand appears as a droplet logo on many thousands of tonnes of plastic packaging and other plastic products around the world. In some countries this type of plastic is mandatory.  For a video of d₂w plastic degrading see http://degradable.net/play-videos/4

Symphony has also developed the d₂Detector®, a portable device which analyses plastics and detects counterfeit products.  Symphony's d₂t tagging and tracer technology is also available for further security. See www.d2t.net

Symphony has a diverse and growing customer-base and has established itself as an international business with 74 distributors around the world. Products made with Symphony's plastic technologies are now available in 97countries and in many different products. Symphony is certified to ISO9001 and ISO14001.

Symphony is a member of The Oxo-biodegradable Plastics Association (www.biodeg.org) (OPA), and the Pacific Basin Environmental Council. Symphony actively participates in the work of the Society for the Chemical Industry (SCI-UK), the British Standards Institute (BSI), the American Standards Organisation (ASTM), the European Standards Organisation (CEN), and the International Standards Organisation (ISO).
