The latest announcement is out from Symphony Environmental Technologies ( (GB:SYM) ).

Symphony Environmental Technologies has highlighted a new scientific analysis from the Biodegradable Plastics Association, which concludes that oxo-biodegradable plastics such as Symphony’s d2w are a proven and mature technology grounded in decades of polymer science and commercial use. The report finds that d2w plastics are designed to degrade and then biodegrade in the open environment without leaving persistent microplastics, while remaining compatible with existing recycling systems.

The analysis stresses that recognised standards like ASTM D6954 and BS 8472 already provide appropriate testing frameworks and that ISO 17025-accredited tests show high levels of biodegradation, no ecotoxicity, and no persistent microplastic formation. It further argues that many critical academic studies rely on inappropriate protocols, and concludes there is no technical or safety basis for prohibiting or restricting correctly manufactured oxo-biodegradable PE and PP, potentially strengthening Symphony’s regulatory and market positioning in sustainable plastics.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:SYM) stock is a Hold with a £8.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Symphony Environmental Technologies stock, see the GB:SYM Stock Forecast page.
