Symphony Environmental Technologies Plc

("Symphony" or the "Company")

CEO speaks at Europe's largest commercial event for the fertilizer trade

Symphony Environmental Technologies Plc (AIM:SYM), the global specialists in
technologies that make plastic and rubber products smarter, safer, and more
sustainable is proud to announce that CEO, Michael Laurier, was a guest
speaker at The Argus Fertilizer Conference, in Lisbon 21-23 October 2025.

 

The Argus Fertilizer Conference and exhibition is Europe's largest event for
agricultural fertilizer traders, producers, and agronomy experts. During his
presentation, Mr Laurier focused on Symphony's d2w and NbR biodegradable
plastic technologies, which are ideally suited for manufacturing mulch films
to protect agricultural crops. Plastics made with either d2w or NbR
technologies help address the global crisis caused by non-biodegradable
plastics, which are responsible for soil contamination through the creation of
plastic fragments and microplastics.

 

These biodegradable mulch films offer farmers significant cost savings by
eliminating the need for collection and disposal of plastic waste, as the
films biodegrade at the end of their useful life and can be ploughed back into
the field. This process not only prevents soil contamination by plastic
particles but also actively enriches the soil, functioning as a slow-release
fertiliser and micronutrient source. The process is organic recycling, which
should be considered as part of overall recycling principles and strategies.
The scientific validity of these claims was demonstrated in the presentation
materials.

 

Participants discussed the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism and its
challenges.  Symphony's new NbR technology is designed to reduce the
fossil-derived content of the plastic by 20% and to reduce carbon-emissions.

 

Questions from the forum addressed the cost of using these technologies. Mr
Laurier explained that the NbR technology can result in a saving, while the
d2w masterbatch system  adds only 5% to the cost. Crucially, these
technologies can be used to produce large volumes, and immediately, without
interruption to the current supply chain or product quality.

 

At the end of the conference Michael Laurier said "I was glad to be able to
explain to a wide audience of experts in the industry the benefits and added
value that our d2w and NbR technologies can bring to farmers and growers, and
to the environment."
