Symphony d2w technology unveiled


Symphony has exhibited its d2w technology, at the ARABPLAST Trade Show in Dubai. The technology turns ordinary plastic at the end of its useful life into a material with a completely different molecular structure. Symphony also successfully launched two new products – ‘d2p’ a range of anti-microbial and fungicidal plastic additives, and the ‘d2Detector’, an anti- counterfeiting and quality control unit. This unit is a “must have” for anyone concerned about counterfeiting of their products, who need to know that it is wrapped in their own sealed wrapper. Being a Government- authorised Oxo-biodegradable additive-supplier in the UAE, Symphony’s stand attracted Ministers from several countries. Michael Laurier, Symphony’s CEO said “We were honoured to receive and demonstrate the ‘d2Detector’ to the Minister of Environment and Water for the UAE, Dr. Rashid Ahmed Bin Fahad who expressed great interest in our product. We had a very successful workshop which was attended by many of our Distributors, as well as government officials”. For more information call 020 8207 5900, email info@d2w.net or visit www.d2w.net.
