FTSE down 1.02%,SEO unchanged.Says it all.

Just received TB's weekly update.

He mentions that SEO issued a Greenseal update to head off profit takers.

His final statement echos my opinions over the last few months....

"These announcements have failed to stem the tide of the share price, but the underlying story has not changed, so BUY."

He clearly knows what he's talking about unlike many on here! lol

Hi All,

This is where the 'Sustainable Packaging Forum' came from .... the 'Sustainable Packaging Coalition' ....

Sustainable Packaging Coalition
GreenBlue is working with a group of companies from throughout the packaging industry value chain to pursue cradle-to-cradle principles in packaging.

Background
In Spring 2003, cradle-to-cradle principles began drawing attention in the packaging industry with a Packaging World cover story (May 2003) and an EPA-sponsored Cradle to Cradle Design Challenge focused on e-commerce shipping packaging and logistics. Seeing an opportunity for the industry to build on this attention, David Newcorn, author of the Packaging World cover article, suggested holding a meeting to invite members of the packaging industry to consider forming a working group around cradle-to-cradle concepts.
GreenBlue, the newly formed non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and developing cradle-to-cradle principles and methods, organized a workshop and meeting held in July 2003, hosted by the Darden Graduate School of Business Administration at the University of Virginia and sponsored by McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry. The first meeting revealed significant interest among the attendees from throughout the packaging value chain, and a follow-up meeting was held in November 2003 to adopt a mission and develop strategy and organizational structure for an industry working group. The Sustainable Packaging Coalition officially launched in March 2004.

Mission
The Sustainable Packaging Coalition is a working group of packaging professionals, ranging along the value chain from paper and resin manufacturers to consumer product companies and retailers whose mission is (1) to advocate and communicate a positive, robust environmental vision for packaging; and (2) to leverage innovative, functional packaging materials and systems that support economic and environmental health.

Members
As of early May 2004, members of the Sustainable Packaging Coalition include: BioCorp; Cargill Dow; Design & Source Production; Dow Chemical Company; Estee Lauder/Aveda; EvCo Research; MeadWestvaco; Nike; Priority Metrics Group; Starbucks Coffee Company; Tropicana; and Unilever.

Progress
After initial organizing meetings in July and November 2003 at the University of Virginia's Darden Graduate School of Business Administration, the first meeting of the Sustainable Packaging Coalition is scheduled for June 24-25, 2004 in Seattle, WA and will be hosted by Starbucks Coffee Company. Work is already underway for the Coalition's initial projects, and will be reviewed at the meeting in June.

Please visit the Sustainable Packaging Coalition website http://www.sustainablepackaging.org/ to learn more and to join the Coalition. Specific questions may be directed to: spcinfo@greenblue.org.

Re your post of 1751hrs yesterday.
An excellent sensible summary, although I don't think the switch on emphasis will cause too much of a problem, but who knows, time will tell. Enjoy the sun.

SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING COALITION HOLDS FIRST ANNUAL MEETING
Charlottesville, Virginia, July 28, 2004 On June 23-25, 2004, the Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC) held its first annual meeting following its official formation earlier this year, hosted by the Starbucks Coffee Company in Seattle, Washington. More than twenty six consumer product companies and packaging suppliers were involved in the meeting, working together to encourage the development of environmentally sustainable and economically profitable packaging solutions. Meeting participants included Albertsons, Aveda, Bemis, Biocorp, Cargill Dow, Design & Source Productions, Dow Chemical, Dupont Soy Polymers, U.S. EPA, EPI, Estee Lauder, EvCo Research, International Paper, Johnson & Johnson, Kraft, MeadWestvaco, Metafore, Microsoft, Nike, PepsiCo, Priority Metrics Group, RSVP Packaging, SOL, Solo, Starbucks, Stora Enso, Sustainable Packaging Alliance, Timberland, Unilever, and Wild Oats.

Sheraton Society Hill
Philadelphia, PA, U.S.A.

The inaugural Sustainable Packaging Forum will deliver the first comprehensive and unbiased analysis of the three tenets of sustainability --economic, social,environment -- and their impact on sustainable operations among consumer goods producers and their bottom-line impact on sustainable package production.

Presentations and panels will target theoretical, practical, technical tools and processes CPGs and packaging suppliers must know and use to create and maintain economically profitable, ecologically regenerative, and socially empowering activities through intelligent design and operations.

Sponsors: Natureworks and Huhtamaki

PM

Apart from the joint presentation that WalMart and Naturworks are doing, I don't see their names on the list, nor for that matter, is Stanelco's. Are those companies listed above the attendees or exhibitors or both?

The oily one

Hi All,

Remember a few months ago, I posted details of IBAW http://www.ibaw.org, and said I was hoping to get Stanelco to join them, so I had E-Mailed Marko Schnarr, and HW in the hope of getting them together .... WELL I DID .... IT WORKED !!!!

I got an E-Mail from Marko to that effect today :)

http://www.ibaw.org/eng/seiten/about_us_members.html#Anker538777

Check out some of the other names in the group, VERY IMPRESSIVE, includes Natureworks and Tetrapak, and the idea is that they work TOGETHER :)

Cheers,
PM

Services for Members


IBAW is supporting its members in many ways:

Legislation and framework conditions: Monitoring issues, representing the industry's views and providing information and data to European and national institutions. We are also building alliances with other stakeholders of the sector, e.g. with APME, EuPC, Copa-Cogeca, ERRMA, CEFIC, ORBIT, ECN, BPS, BPI and many others to shape and optimize framework conditions.

Communications and pre-marketing: Generating and disseminating information on environmental aspects and industry developments. The IBAW makes use of all public relations tools, press releases and press conferences, expert articles for the media, the internet, we also provide information at fairs, exhibitions and events. We thus contribute intensively to create a very postive image of this new material class and to transfer it to the industrial players involved.

Tools for QM and marketing: IBAW is owner of the compostability label, a worldwide protected brand for the labeling of compostable BDP products. The logo is awarded to products that fulfil certification criteria. It is more and more used as the label for BDP products in Europe.
Special member services

Information transfer: Members of the IBAW receive information firsthand either by means of circulars (15-20 newsletters a year) or on secure Internet pages. We exclusively inform our members on future developments, e.g. changes in framework conditions, new funding programs, market opportunities etc.
Business requests derived from our PR are sent directly to our members.

Public relations & press work: We publish press releases and link the websites of our members on our website (appr. 10.000 hits per week in 2005).
We communicate highlights of product and market development in expert media via articles and press releases.

Consulting: We support you with relevant information and business matching: various addresses are available, our widespread contacts to BDP companies can be used (manufacturers, converters, users etc.). European projects can be supported and co-ordinated by us. IBAW shares knowledge and experiences among members.

Organization of meetings, demonstrations and trade fairs: IBAW organizes events, expert meetings and conferences, e.g. the International "Advanced Bioplastics" Symposium, as well as exhibitions and tradefairs, where members can showcase their products, e.g. at the interpack 2005, BioFach 2005 and International Green Week 2004.
We also present the material development and products to key decision makers and politicians on social events and conferences.
Members will benefit from significant price discounts on events held under the banner of IBAW.

Our activities are based on the input and participation of our members, they set up the strategies and priorities of our work.

Oily Hi,

Wal-Mart have announced they are doing the joint presentation with Natureworks, I posted a link earlier. The list is the attendees, as Albertsons are also presenting, but not listed on that list, a tad confusing I agree !

Stanelco will most likely get one of the tabletop exhibition spaces, see my post at 19:07, and if you also read the brochure, you will see that every session is followed by time for 'networking'

Cheers,
PM

way to expensive for me to attend (the Dec. event).....
would be good to get hold of the presentation after he does it.....

Belisce Hi,

Thats one reason why I E-Mailed Matt Kistler, hopefully he might send me some info after the show, if he cannot send any beforehand :)

Cheers,
PM
