Summary
Symphony Environmental Technologies Plc (AIM:SYM) has announced the results of a continued study by Intertek on plastic made with its d2w technology. The study found that the d2w-treated polyethylene and polypropylene samples underwent significant biodegradation, with 94.55% and 92.76% biodegradation respectively. The results indicate that d2w technology is effective in reducing the prevalence and accumulation of microplastics in the environment.
