About Symphony Environmental Technologies plc

 

https://www.symphonyenvironmental.com (https://www.symphonyenvironmental.com)
 

 

Symphony has developed a range of additives, concentrates and master-batches
marketed under its d(2)p® ("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 also 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® 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
standards.

 

Symphony has also developed the d(2)Detector®, 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).
