SYMPHONY ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES PLC
("Symphony", "Company" or the "Group")
Health Canada* approves d2p AM masterbatch for bread
packaging
Symphony Environmental Technologies Plc (AIM:SYM) is pleased to
announce that following the recent approval, from the U.S. Food
& Drug Administration for its d2p antimicrobial food contact
technology, Symphony has now received approval from Health Canada
for its use in bread packaging.
Approval for Symphony's d2p antimicrobial food contact
technology, applies to polyolefin and polyester multi-layer films
for wrapping bread, so as to inhibit the growth of bacteria on the
surface of the packaging film, which is vital in a very
hygiene-conscious industry.
Symphony's CEO Michael Laurier said "We have been working for
some time with customers in Canada, and approval from Health Canada
now enables this project to proceed more quickly to
commercialisation."

About Symphony Environmental Technologies plc
https://www.symphonyenvironmental.com
Symphony has developed a range of additives, concentrates and
master-batches marketed under its d(2) p(R) ("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. d(2) p products also include odour,
moisture and ethylene adsorbers as well as other types of
food-preserving technologies. Symphony has also launched d(2) p
anti-microbial household gloves and toothbrushes (most recently in
Bahrain), and is developing a range of other d(2) p finished
products for retail sale.
Symphony has developed and continues to develop, a biodegradable
plastic technology which helps tackle the problem of microplastics
by turning ordinary plastic 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 a similar way to a leaf.
The technology is branded d(2) w(R) and appears as a droplet logo
on many thousands of tonnes of plastic packaging and other plastic
products around the world. In some countries, most recently Saudi
Arabia, oxo-biodegradable plastic is mandatory.
The Group has complemented its d(2) w biodegradable product
range with d(2) c "compostable resins and products" that have been
tested to US and EU composting standards.
Symphony has also developed the d(2) Detector(R), a portable
device which analyses plastics and detects counterfeit products.
This is useful to government officials tasked with enforcing
legislation, and Symphony's d(2) t tagging and tracer technology is
available for further security.
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 nearly 100 countries and
in many different product applications. Symphony itself is
accredited to ISO9001 and ISO14001.
Symphony is a member of The OPA (www.biodeg.org) and actively
participates in the Committee work of the British Standards
Institute (BSI), the American Standards Organisation (ASTM), the
European Standards Organisation (CEN), and the International
Standards Organisation (ISO).
