LARGEST BAKERY IN TURKEY LAUNCHES D2W PACKAGING
Symphony Environmental Technologies Plc (AIM: SYM), a global
specialist in technologies that "make plastic smarter", is pleased
to announce a major event held today in Istanbul, Turkey. Evin
Pehlivanlı, Deputy CEO of Uno Bakery Corporation ("Uno"), announced
the launch of their d(2) w biodegradable packaging program, with
Symphony as their technology partner and masterbatch supplier.
Uno is the first major bakery in Turkey to upgrade most of its
packaging with d(2) w biodegradable technology. Packaging made with
d(2) w can be recycled if facilities are available, but if it
escapes collection and ends up in the environment as litter, it
will degrade and biodegrade in a continuous, irreversible and
unstoppable process, in the same way as nature's wastes and much
faster than regular plastic.
Uno is the largest baking company in Turkey and are not obliged
by legislation to use biodegradable packaging. Evin Pehlivanlı,
Deputy CEO of Uno said: "Over the years we have aimed to reduce our
packaging, and to recycle where possible, but we now go further, by
resolving the issue of plastic that escapes into the open
environment by using the globally renowned British d(2) w
technology. I am proud to say that we will be the first major food
processing company in our region of the world to adopt this
technology, and we hope others will follow."
Michael Laurier, CEO of Symphony, said "It has been a privilege
to work with Uno and to help them ensure that their packaging meets
the highest technical and environmental standards. We have invested
heavily in scientific and technical excellence over many years to
help our customers achieve this. We are proud to now partner with
Uno, the largest baking company in Turkey, which follows our
partnership with the largest bakery in Mexico."
"Both Symphony and Uno are committed to a circular economy, but
packaging which escapes into the open environment cannot be
collected for recycling, composting, landfill, or anything else. It
is essential therefore to make it with d(2) w technology so it will
become biodegradable and be recycled back into nature."

In addition to d2w, and of growing importance since the
Coronavirus pandemic began, Symphony have developed a technology,
marketed under their d2p(R) ("designed to protect") brand, which
gives plastic antimicrobial properties. It has recently been
approved by the FDA in the United States for keeping bread
packaging free of bacteria.
They have now received test results from an independent
laboratory showing a virus reduction of 99.9% after only one hour
against a member of the BETA CORONAVIRUS group of viruses. This is
a masterbatch technology which can be incorporated in a wide range
of polymer products at an affordable cost, without disrupting the
manufacturing process or the supply-chain.
Symphony also has range of additives, concentrates and
master-batches which can be incorporated in a wide variety of
plastic and non-plastic products so as to give them protection
against many different types of bacteria, fungi, algae, moulds,
rodents and insects, and against corrosion, and fire. See
www.d2p.net
d2p products also include odour, moisture and ethylene adsorbers
as well as other types of food-preserving technologies. Symphony
has also launched d2p anti-microbial household gloves and
toothbrushes, and is developing a range of other d2p finished
products for retail sale.
Symphony has also developed the d2Detector(R), a portable device
which analyses plastics and detects counterfeit products. This is
useful to government officials tasked with enforcing legislation,
and Symphony's d2t tagging and tracer technology is available for
further security.
Symphony has a diverse and growing customer-base and has
established itself as an international business with 74
distributors around the world. Products made with Symphony's
plastic technologies are now available in nearly 100 countries and
in many different product applications. Symphony itself is
accredited to ISO9001 and ISO14001.
Symphony is a member of The OPA (www.biodeg.org) and actively
participates in the Committee work of the British Standards
Institute (BSI), the American Standards Organisation (ASTM), the
European Standards Organisation (CEN), and the International
Standards Organisation (ISO).
