Symphony Environmental Technologies Plc

("Symphony" or the "Company")

CEO speaks at Europe's largest commercial event for the fertilizer trade  

Symphony Environmental Technologies Plc (AIM:SYM), the global specialists in technologies that make plastic and rubber products smarter, safer, and more sustainable is proud to announce that CEO, Michael Laurier, was a guest speaker at The Argus Fertilizer Conference, in Lisbon 21-23 October 2025. 

The Argus Fertilizer Conference and exhibition is Europe's largest event for agricultural fertilizer traders, producers, and agronomy experts. During his presentation, Mr Laurier focused on Symphony's d2w and NbR biodegradable plastic technologies, which are ideally suited for manufacturing mulch films to protect agricultural crops. Plastics made with either d2w or NbR technologies help address the global crisis caused by non-biodegradable plastics, which are responsible for soil contamination through the creation of plastic fragments and microplastics.

These biodegradable mulch films offer farmers significant cost savings by eliminating the need for collection and disposal of plastic waste, as the films biodegrade at the end of their useful life and can be ploughed back into the field. This process not only prevents soil contamination by plastic particles but also actively enriches the soil, functioning as a slow-release fertiliser and micronutrient source. The process is organic recycling, which should be considered as part of overall recycling principles and strategies. The scientific validity of these claims was demonstrated in the presentation materials.

Participants discussed the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism and its challenges.  Symphony's new NbR technology is designed to reduce the fossil-derived content of the plastic by 20% and to reduce carbon-emissions. 

Questions from the forum addressed the cost of using these technologies. Mr Laurier explained that the NbR technology can result in a saving, while the d2w masterbatch system  adds only 5% to the cost. Crucially, these technologies can be used to produce large volumes, and immediately, without interruption to the current supply chain or product quality.

At the end of the conference Michael Laurier said "I was glad to be able to explain to a wide audience of experts in the industry the benefits and added value that our d2w and NbR technologies can bring to farmers and growers, and to the environment."
