Notes to Editors:

Accsys Technologies PLC(www.accsysplc.com) is an environmental science and technology company whose primary focus is on the production of Accoya^® wood and technology licensing via its 100% owned subsidiary, Titan Wood Limited, which has manufacturing operations in Arnhem, the Netherlands, a European office in London and an American office in Dallas, Texas. Accsys Technologies PLC is listed on the London Stock Exchange AIM market, and on Euronext Amsterdam by NYSE Euronext, under the symbols 'AXS'. Accsys' operations comprise three principal business units: (i) the Accoya^® wood production facility; (ii) technology development, focused on a programme of continuous improvements to the process engineering and operating protocols for the acetylation of wood which are currently under development and the development of technology for the acetylation of wood elements; and (iii) the licensing of technology for the production of Accoya^® wood and Tricoya^® wood elements across the globe.

Medite Europe Ltd. (www.medite-europe.com) is part of Coillte Panel Products and owned by Coillte, the Irish forestry and forest products company. Medite products are recognised as the benchmark for quality, consistency and performance in MDF, as well as being Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified. Medite has led the market in technical innovation, introducing such advances as moisture resistant, flame retardant, exterior grade, zero-added formaldehyde and flooring quality MDF varieties, and their programme of innovation is continuous.

Coillte Panel Products (www.coillte.ie) is a significant and powerful player in Europe's composite board marketplace. Its brands Medite MDF and SmartPly OSB are FSC certified which differentiates them from many competitor and substitute products, and enables them to meet environmental standards which are becoming increasingly important to designers, specifiers, architects and clients for both public and private projects.

Wood Acetylation is a process which increases the amount of 'acetyl' molecules in wood, thereby changing its physical properties. The process protects wood from rot by making it "inedible" to most micro-organisms and fungi, without - unlike conventional treatments - making it toxic. It also greatly reduces the wood's tendency to swell and shrink, making it less prone to cracking and ensuring that, when painted, it requires dramatically reduced maintenance.

Accoya^® wood (www.accoya.com) is produced using a process, the subject of patent applications around the world, that effectively converts sustainably grown softwoods and non-durable hardwoods into what is best described as a "high technology wood". Distinguished by its durability, dimensional stability and, perhaps most importantly of all, its reliability (in terms of consistency of both supply and quality), Accoya^® wood is particularly suited to exterior applications where performance and appearance are valued. Unlike most tropical and European hardwoods, its colour does not degrade when exposed to ultraviolet light. Moreover, the Accoya^® wood production process does not compromise the wood's strength or machinability. The combination of UV resistance, dimensional stability, durability and retained strength means that Accoya^® wood offers a wealth of new opportunities to architects, designers and specifiers. For marine uses where weight is also important, Accoya^® wood for the first time provides boat builders with a wood that is strong, lightweight, durable and retains its natural beauty for far longer.  For a full archive of Accoya^® news, visit www.accoya.com/news.asp.

Tricoya^® Wood Elements (www.tricoya.com) is Titan Wood's proprietary technology for the acetylation of wood chips, and particles for use in the fabrication of wood based composites, including panel products. These composites demonstrate enhanced durability and dimensional stability which allow them to be used in a variety of applications that were once limited to solid wood or man-made products. Tricoya^® Wood Elements is lauded as the first major innovation in the wood composites industry in more than 30 years.

Medite Tricoya® Combines technologies from both partners who signed the JDA in London June 2009.

Camco (www.camcoglobal.com) is a leading international climate change and sustainable development company that has been providing strategic, technical and financial services in this field for more than 20 years. They work closely with major companies worldwide, establishing partnerships to turn clients' climate change liabilities into economic, social and environmental assets. As one component of their diverse service offerings, Camco have undertaken over 1,000 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions assessments in line with current best practice in GHG quantification and reporting. These assessments cover all six Kyoto greenhouse gases and encompass Scopes 1, 2 & 3 emissions sources in line with the World Business Council for Sustainable Development and World Resources Institute's (WBCSD/WRI) Greenhouse Gas Reporting Protocol best practice guidelines.

MBDC (www.mbdc.com). Since 1995, McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry (MBDC) has been engaging large and small companies with the challenge of industry to scientifically evaluate and design materials and products according to these principles. In response to industry demand, MBDC is now offering companies the chance to have their materials and products not only evaluated, but also certified according to the Cradle to CradleSM Principles.

Scion (www.scionresearch.com) Scion is a New Zealand Crown Research Institute that undertakes research, science and technology development in forestry, wood products, biomaterials and bioenergy. Scion's work contributes to beneficial economic, environmental and social outcomes for New Zealand. Formerly the NZ Forest Research Institute, Scion employs approximately 340 people and has its head office in Rotorua. For more information, please visit www.scionresearch.com
