TIDMSTT RNS Number : 5755G Straight PLC 03 February 2010 Date: 3 February 2010 On behalf of: Straight plc ("Straight" or "the Group") For immediate release Straight plc * Major Framework Agreement Straight plc (AIM: STT), the environmental products and services group, is pleased to announce that it has been appointed by the Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation ("ESPO") and the Central Buying Consortium ("CBC") to supply a range of products under a three year refuse and recycling product Framework Agreement ("the Agreement") which is expected to generate revenue in excess of GBP8 million for the Group. Under the Framework Agreement, Straight has been awarded joint supplier status on an extensive range of core products including steel wheeled bins, kerbside boxes and food waste caddies. The Group has also been awarded sole supplier status for the provision of compost bins to ESPO and CBC's members and end customers. Straight is the only company to supply such a range of products under the Agreement and the Group believes that it will provide considerable opportunities for its core products whilst also benefiting local authorities through their ability to aggregate purchasing. Straight's selection as sole supplier of compost bins under the Agreement is a direct result of the early termination in September 2009 of WRAP's, the government funded Waste & Resources Action Programme, scheme to supply home compost bins to local Councils in England. Having supplied more than half of the compost bins used by WRAP during its six year campaign, and created the model on which WRAP's campaign was based, Straight is ideally placed to provide local authorities in England with a competitive compost bin programme ESPO and CBC are local government purchasing and distribution consortia with a potential geographical spread from North Nottinghamshire through to Hampshire, including Bristol in the West and Norfolk in the East. This Framework Agreement includes an option to deliver to individual households, public sector bodies and organisations, as well as UK-registered charities based in the area. Commenting on the news, Jonathan Straight, Chief Executive of Straight plc, said: "We are absolutely delighted to have such a prominent position on this Framework Agreement. Building on a relationship established in 2006, we are now able to offer almost our entire range through ESPO. Steel wheeled bins are now included for the first time and the range includes kerbside boxes, foodwaste caddies for indoor and outdoor use, woven kerbside bags, compostable liners made of paper and bioplastics and compost bins for bulk supply. "In terms of the home composting campaigns we can now offer to all councils, we are looking forward to returning to the forefront of a market that we led for many years prior to WRAP's intervention."

Founded in 1993 by the current Chief Executive, Jonathan Straight, the business has since supplied more than 12 million kerbside recycling boxes to local authorities across the UK, securing its position as the industry leader. · In 2005, Straight acquired Blackwall Limited, the UK's largest supplier of home composters and water butts. Through the Blackwall brand, Straight has delivered more than 3.5 million compost bins and water butts. · The business operates through two divisions. The core Trade Business supplying products in bulk to local authorities, utilities, the waste industry, retailers and other businesses and the Retail Business supplying a range of proprietary environmentally friendly consumer products directly to the public, often in partnership with a local authority or a utility. · Straight operates a radical business model with all manufacture outsourced on an international basis. Most production is local to the end market keeping freight movements and associated emissions to a minimum. · In February 2009, Straight added to its portfolio with the acquisition of Harcostar Garden Products, a long established premium brand consisting of water butts, compost bins, watering cans and accessories. This has gained new distribution channels for the business in the UK and in Europe. · Straight plc has established diverse overseas sales channels and is now producing and selling water butts in Australia as well as strong initial sales in the United States and Canada. · Further information about the company and its products can be found at: www.straight.co.uk This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange END CNTZMGGZNZLGGZM
