d2w® Biodegradable Plastic Technology - 2026 market outlook

Symphony Environmental Technologies Plc ("Symphony", AIM: SYM), a global
leader in smarter, safer, and sustainable plastic and rubber technologies is
pleased to issue this New Year market outlook, reflecting our strong belief
that growth and market adoption for d2w® biodegradable plastic technology
will accelerate globally. This non-disruptive, scientifically proven solution
is designed to biodegrade in real‑world environments, including and at sea,
without leaving persistent microplastics.

Expanding Global Regulatory Acceptance

d2w® technology continues to gain traction worldwide. More than 35 countries
now officially recognise in legislation, regulation or test standards, this
type of biodegradable plastic manufactured and tested to internationally
accepted criteria.

This wide acceptance or recognition demonstrates a growing move in global
environmental policy toward proven biodegradable technologies, reflecting the
fact that plastic is essential for modern life but recognising that existing
waste‑management policies cannot prevent plastic waste getting into the
environment.  It is now more necessary than ever to make plastic so that it
will quickly biodegrade in the open environment - and not just in a composting
facility.

Products made with d2w technology meet this need, offering a scientifically
tested solution that does not generate microplastics, thereby addressing one
of the most pressing concerns in global sustainability.

Backed by Four Decades of Independent Science

d2w® is supported by over 40 years of independent scientific studies, and
compliance with official standards - including American ASTM D6954; British BS
8472; French AFNOR T51‑808; Saudi Arabian SASO 2879; Emirates ESMA 5009; and
Mexican NMX‑E‑288‑NYCE‑2022. Rigorous evaluations by international
test-houses according to these Standards confirm that products made with
d2w®:

·      Biodegrade fully in the open environment, including oceans

·      Do not generate persistent microplastics

·      Remain recyclable during their useful life

·      Provide a cost‑effective, drop‑in alternative to conventional
plastics without altering manufacturing processes or materially increasing
cost.

Positive Commercial Outlook

The global regulatory landscape is increasingly focused on solutions to
plastic pollution, and the growing corporate demand for certified
biodegradable materials positions d2w® as a scalable technology ready for
widespread adoption.

As sustainability requirements intensify - particularly in high‑growth
markets - d2w® provides manufacturers and brands a practical, cost-effective,
and scientifically validated pathway to achieve compliance, reduce
environmental impact, and strengthen ESG performance, all without disrupting
existing supply chains.

We are encouraged by feedback from our distributors and other market sources
indicating that demand is expected to rise across the Middle East, Asia, Latin
America, the Caribbean and Africa, with particularly strong momentum building
in India. Symphony anticipates continued commercial acceleration driven by:

·      Strengthening international recognition of biodegradable
standards

·      Increasing legislation and enforcement thereof affecting
conventional plastics

·      Growing interest from multinational brands and packaging
suppliers

·      Ongoing progress in scientific validation and certification
