                                     APPEAL


Notification has been received by Symphony Plastic Technologies Plc ('Symphony'
or 'the Group'), the degradable plastics company, that EPI Environmental
Products Inc (EPI) has been granted leave to appeal the judgement handed down in
favour of Symphony by the High Court in London on 21st December 2004.



Michael Laurier, Chief Executive Officer, said:

'The possibility of an appeal is a feature of any civil case and we are not
surprised by this development. The Directors are of the view, as they have been
from the start and as was demonstrated in the High Court, that the claims made
by EPI are without merit.'
