Has anyone any ideas as to why this stock has powered head today. I noticed that it moved slightly up just before close yesterday.

About time that it moves. I guess most people are out of this dog......

Oxo-biodegradable plastic bags pass the tests prescribed by American Standard 6954 and they degrade to carbon dioxide, water and biomass within a few months on land or in water leaving no fragments or harmful residues, the company said.

If this is true whats the cost of these bags in comparison to a normal plastic bag? Retailers should be crying out for them. Hard cash savings will intrest the commercial boys.

Symphony is also developing innovative waste-to-energy technology and is
exploring opportunities where there is a demand to convert plastics, tyres and
other waste streams into valuable products by cost effective processes.

For Immediate Release 10th April 2008

SYMPHONY ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGIES PLC

TIGERBRANDS - SOUTH AFRICA
LAUNCH d2w(R) OXO-BIODEGRADABLE BREAD PACKAGING

Symphony Environmental Technologies Plc ('Symphony' or 'the Company'), the
degradable plastics and waste-to-energy Group, is very pleased to announce the
following sales success with Albany Bakeries by its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Symphony Environmental Ltd.

Albany Bakeries of South Africa, a subsidiary of the leading food company Tiger
Brands has a substantial share of the national bread market and owns 12 major
bread plants that produce Albany Superior; Olde Cape; D'light and Everyday bread
ranges. Albany bread is the group's biggest user of packaging and has launched
Symphony's d2w(R) oxo-biodegradable plastic packaging for all their bread
products. Tiger Brands is one of the largest food producers in the world to
commit to reducing the potential for plastic pollution by their packaging.

This packaging is being manufactured for Albany Bakeries in South Africa by
three of the largest plastic producers, using high-speed machines and Albany
Bakeries' new d2w(R) oxo-biodegradable bread bags will mean that around 3,000
tonnes of packaging will no longer be contributing to the accumulation of
plastic waste in the environment.

This breakthrough into the South African food-sector was achieved through
Symphony's nominated distributor, Self-Destruct Plastics, who report that
current sales for Symphony's d2w(R) additives and products have exceeded all
their expectations.

Meghan Draddy Packaging Development Manager - Grains: Cereals; Milling & Baking
of Tiger Brands (South Africa), said:

'We are pleased to announce our ground-breaking co-operation with Symphony
Environmental Limited to protect the environment from the accumulation of
plastic waste. Following three years of discussions, trials, testing and
performance analysis, Tiger Brands has become South Africa's first national food
company to tackle the litter and plastic-waste pollution unavoidably resulting
from bakery operations.

Although plastic is the best packaging option, its reputation is tarnished by
the fact that plastic manufactured in 2008 will outlive those who make it; but
d2w(R) additives and products change all that. By this decision Tiger Brands has
set a path for others to follow. Up to 3,000 tonnes of potential litter and
waste per year will now degrade and then biodegrade, within a short timescale,
leaving no methane, no fragments and no harmful residues.'

Commenting on the product launch, Michael Laurier, Chief Executive of Symphony
Environmental Technologies plc, said:

'We are delighted to be jointly announcing with Tiger Brands this major
environmental breakthrough. This is extremely important news for South Africa
and sets an excellent example to many other users of plastic packaging
throughout the world. In addition to bread bags, a carrier-bag, a heavy
shrink-wrap, or a plastic bottle, can be made if using our standard d2w(R)
degradable plastic technology to totally self-destruct within a period of
between 6 months and two years (depending on environmental conditions) instead
of polluting the land and the sea for decades.'

We expect this important step to be the first of many developments in South
Africa. Symphony's d2w(R) degradable plastic technology is rapidly becoming
known as the market leader throughout the world and with South Africa's
progressive attitude on environmental issues we are delighted to have increased
our participation in this important market.'

this was the stimulus i needed to average down today, hope it holds and rises slowly back up

I see at last some good news. Is this a juggernought starting to move? Could the biggest retailer in the world be interested? What a coup would it be if these bags could get into Wal-Mart. Surly they are the biggest user that would see the benefit.
