degradable
In the UK, Symphony markets both its pro-degradant additive as well as a very wide variety of totally degradable finished products under the d2w™ registered trademark.
Whilst the majority of finished products are printed to customers specification using their identity, some ranges are available for direct retail sale under the d2w™ brand label.

Whether sold by Symphony as finished products or whether made by extruders using d2w™ pro-degradant additive, the range of materials which can be totally degradable is extremely wide and is constantly increasing as further development and testing takes place. In general terms, this includes
- All flexible and semi rigid plastic products made from polyethylene and polypropylene
- Virgin, recycled or blends of these polymers
- Plastics extruded by blown or by cast methods and including BOPP (biaxially orientated polypropylene)
- Single, multi layered or laminated materials
Although by no means an exhaustive list, the principle applications at this time in the UK are bags and sacks - including supermarket vest and other retail carrier bags, refuse and other black sacks, bin liners and other white bags.
- Packaging - especially for bread, produce and other foodstuffs.
- Healthcare - including aprons and bin liners.
- Stretch and shrink wrap.
- Reel films - mailing film
