NOTES TO EDITORS:

 

About Symphony Environmental Technologies plc

 

Symphony Environmental is a world-leading developer of technologies that reduce plastic pollution by turning ordinary plastic into biodegradable materials at the end of its service life, leaving no microplastics or toxic residues. Distributed in nearly 100 countries, the d2w® logo has appeared on thousands of tonnes of plastic products for over twenty years.

 

Symphony has also developed a range of additives, concentrates and masterbatches marketed under its d2p® ("designed to protect") trademark, 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, viruses, fungi, algae, moulds, and insects, and against fire. d2p products also include odour, moisture and ethylene adsorbers as well as other types of food-preserving technologies.

Symphony was named 'ESG Company of the Year' for outstanding global achievements in environmental objectives at the 2021 Small Cap Awards in London, an accolade that accompanies its 'Green Economy Mark' presented by the London Stock Exchange to listed companies that derive 50% or more of their activity from the Green Economy.
