Further information on the Symphony Environmental Technologies Group of companies:
SYMPHONY ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES PLC is a specialist in controlled-life plastic technology and products - a system that works by a process called oxo-biodegradation. The technology is branded d2w® and appears as a droplet logo on many thousands of tonnes of plastic packaging and other plastic products.
Symphony's d2w® technology turns plastic at the end of its service-life into a material with a completely different molecular structure. At that stage it is no longer a plastic and can be bioassimilated in the open environment in the same way as a leaf.
For a video of d2w® plastic degrading see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3TGqcpWJTM
Symphony has a diverse and growing customer-base and has established itself successfully as an international business. Products made with d2w® plastic technology can now be found in more than 90 countries around the world and in many different product applications. Symphony is a member of the Oxo-biodegradable Plastics Association (www.biodeg.org), the Society for the Chemical Industry (UK), The British Plastics Federation (BPF), Symphony is also a member of the European Organisation for Packaging & the Environment (Europen) and the British Brands Group. Symphony actively participates in the work of the British Standards Institute (BSI), the European Standards Organisation (CEN), the American Standards Organisation (ASTM); and the International Standards Organisation (ISO) Symphony holds an ISO 9001-2008 certificate for quality management.
The company has introduced a new product called d2p. This is a suite of additives which give plastic products anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal properties. The first has already been brought to market, and the others are in development. Symphony has also introduced a hand-held x-ray frequency device (the "d2Detector") which can analyse the composition of polymer products without the need to take samples to a laboratory. Not least, the company continues to develop systems for converting scrap tyres into useful products.
