                       Symphony Plastic Technologies PLC
                             Conclusion of Contract

Symphony Plastic Technologies ('Symphony'), the degradable plastics company,
today reports that, following a competitive tender process, the supply of its
degradable carrier bags to Somerfield and Kwik Save will come to an end in the
latter part of October 2005.

The initial contract agreed in August 2002 was originally intended to run for a
12 to 15 month period but will have been successfully in operation for more than
three years when the current agreement concludes. The contribution, before any
central costs, from this contract was approximately £260,000 over the first
seven months of the current financial year.

Michael Laurier, Chief Executive Officer of Symphony, said:

'Naturally we are disappointed to lose such a high profile customer after
sharing an extremely good relationship over the last three years.  However, in
any competitive situation we have to balance the benefits of the contract
against its commercial viability and our wider ambitions. We are very actively
pursuing other significant opportunities internationally and in the UK in the
knowledge that environmental concerns, together with consumer and legislative
pressure, are creating a greater level of interest than ever for our d2w(R)
environmentally responsible products.'
