                         Distribution Agreement - Qatar



Symphony Plastic Technologies Plc ('Symphony'), the degradable plastics company,
has entered into a five year exclusive distribution agreement with Al Haya Waste
Management & Projects Company, ('Al Haya') of Qatar.


The agreement allows Al Haya to market Symphony's d2w(R) degradable additive and
products exclusively into Qatar. Al Haya has forecast that they will purchase
not less than US$450,000 of additives and products within the first two years.
From the third year Al Haya anticipates purchasing US$300,000 of additives and
products increasing at the rate of 10% per year for each subsequent year.


This is Symphony's second distribution agreement in the Middle East and further
strengthens its existing marketing base in the region and further expands its
international network, which includes Brazil, Canada, Colombia, the Caribbean,
New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and USA.


Al Haya is a Qatari Company, managed by Ali Saeed Al Marri, which is focused on
eco-friendly projects in Qatar. Al Haya's other project's are plastic recycling,
lubricating oil recycling and hazardous waste management.


Michael Laurier, Chief Executive, said:


'This is a further expansion of our Middle East distribution network and
strategically places the company's d2w(R) degradable technology into a
completely new market.  Both Al Haya and Symphony are confident that the demand
for degradable plastics will develop rapidly in Qatar as a result of increasing
legislative and environmental pressures.'


Commenting on the agreement, Al Haya said:


'We are very pleased to be working with Symphony to market this environmentally
responsible product in Qatar and the initial response has been very encouraging.
 Qatar has a serious problem with plastic pollution caused by discarded waste
such as carrier bags and other forms of packaging and we believe that the market
urgently needs this environmentally responsible degradable product.'
