News very soon as no time for delay with Covid
This economic argument of d2w's relatively low cost (particularly when compared with other products and technologies, and their respective infrastructure requirements) is increasingly relevant in a number of Symphony's markets where, so much financial resource has and is being deployed by governments to support their economies during COVID-19 lockdowns and beyond.
Symphony has and is campaigning in a number of countries at what the Board perceive to be a key juncture in the history of environmental policy making. COVID-19 has reinforced the view that simply banning certain plastics, particularly single-use plastics is inconsistent with societal and economic needs. Symphony's campaigns have invariably focused on the markets where the Group is most active, and the Board is cautiously optimistic that legislators and opinion-formers in those jurisdictions will take meaningful steps towards further encouraging the use of Symphony's type of biodegradable technology over the next 12 months.
Such dialogue however is not restricted to Symphony's overseas markets and we continue our engagement with the UK government.
