Straight plc 
 
 
  *  Contract To Supply Kitchen Caddies In Hertfordshire 
 
 
 
Straight plc (AIM: STT), the environmental products and services group, is 
pleased to announce it has been awarded a contract to provide kitchen caddy food 
waste containers to over 150,000 households in Hertfordshire for approximately 
GBP150,000. 
 
 
The five and seven litre kitchen caddies, which are manufactured for Straight in 
Hull, encourage 
householders to separate food waste in their kitchens for 
collection at the kerbside and subsequent composting. 
 
 
Commenting on the news, Jonathan Straight, Chief Executive of Straight plc, 
said: 
"Although modest in value, this contract covers approximately a third of 
households in Hertfordshire and will help reduce food waste sent to landfill. 
 
 
"This contract also highlights the desire amongst local authorities to encourage 
householders to 
play an active role in separating food waste at the kerbside, 
which is now seen by WRAP, the government funded Waste & Resources Action 
Programme, as a preferred approach to recycling household waste." 
 
 
Straight plc will be exhibiting at Futuresource, Europe's sustainability event 
at ExCeL London between 9 - 11 June 2009.

Notes to Editors 
 
 
  *  Straight plc was established in 1993, by Jonathan Straight, to supply container 
  solutions for source separated waste. Initially one man and a desk, the company 
  grew to become the UK's leading supplier of kerbside recycling boxes as well as 
  a key supplier of other types of waste and recycling container solutions. 
 
 
 
  *  Following sustained growth, Straight joined AIM in 2003 with a view to fuelling 
  further growth. 
 
 
 
  *  In 2005, Straight acquired Blackwall Limited, the UK's largest supplier of home 
  composters and water butts. Since integrating the two businesses, Straight now 
  provides a wide range of waste and recycling solutions to local authorities, the 
  waste industry and general businesses. Through the Blackwall brand Straight 
  delivers environmental garden products directly to end users in partnership with 
  local authorities and utilities.
