LONDON - Symphony Environmental Technologies Plc (AIM:SYM) announced Friday that its biodegradable plastic technologies align with recommendations from a recent UK government-commissioned report on addressing persistent plastic pollution.
The report, published in October 2025 by the BB-REG-NET Circular Bioeconomy Working Group, provides evidence that certified biodegradable plastics can help mitigate environmental impacts of conventional plastics, according to the company’s press release.
The document highlights that biodegradable plastics undergo complete microbial biodegradation, converting into carbon dioxide, water, and biomass rather than persisting as microplastics. It also notes that certified biodegradable plastics have undergone rigorous biodegradation and ecotoxicological testing.
Symphony stated that its d2w and NbR (Natural Biodegradable Resin) technologies are designed and independently tested to meet these criteria. The d2w technology enables polyethylene and polypropylene products to biodegrade in open environments without microplastic residues, while NbR additionally reduces fossil-derived content in plastic.
The company expressed support for the report’s recommendations regarding science-based regulation, independent testing, and transparent certification, as well as closer collaboration between policymakers, regulators, and industry.
Michael Laurier, CEO of Symphony Environmental, said in the statement, "We are delighted that the BB-REG-NET report provides clear evidence supporting the environmental benefits of biodegradable technologies that meet robust international standards."
Symphony Environmental Technologies is a UK-based company that develops plastic and rubber technologies. The announcement was made in a non-regulatory press release.
