McD's cardboard boxes don't biodegrade, they lurk in hedges, bus shelters, back streets etc for months! A Starpol box would disappear quickly; it may be possible to produce them in flat packs but stacked trays would not take up much more room. The downside might be that people would be chucking them out of car windows all over the place, knowing they would biodegrade fast. Could give a whole new meaning to fast food!

Edit

Just recieved an e-mail reply from SEO about the 2 machine question.
Doesn't say much other than affirming they have only converted 2 machines and pointing out why.
It goes on to say Asda have worked with them to resolve it as they are keen to get the 200 in, hopefully by the end of this year.
I did put the whole e-mail on, but then edited it out because the mail contains a warning not to post it anywhere.
Anyone who wants it can have it, if they let me have their e-mail address.
Alan

Thanks for the sarky post stockdog.

My reason for asking about the billion meaning was i am getting used to this company saying we have a deal here there and everywhere and rather overegging the pudding and seo saying they are talking to someone about 1.5 billion trays is another example of this, we now all assume its Mcds and run around thinking we have mcds in the bag.

Still holding since 3p

Barney, Oily.
Let me know if you didn't get 'em!!!
Alan

alan, got it thanks and sent a reply thanking you, do not like the first sentence but generally positive i guess, seems the exclusivity will be extended.

Cheers

So its a six month delay at ASDA, not a two month as a broker's note was quoted as saying.

I read the 'customer' having a 500-600 machine supply chain in the US being Walmart, not Mcdonalds, as has been mentioned, and wouldnt have a obvious requirement for Greenseal. Although 1.5 billion trays is a lot......strange........surely McD's dont need Greenseal.

I'd appreciate a copy of that note if you'd send it alan-cheers!

hopefully by the end of this year.

halfamil,
your e-mail failed!!!
Alan

Alan thanks for that .I wish these people would write in clear english.What does she mean by"the longevity of the tooling".Does she mean"the time taken to convert"or is there a problem with the "lifespan of the tooling".Any ideas?

I think she means the lifespan. If it were the time to convert then there would be real problems. I believe the issue to be part of the retrofit equipment not being reliable enough and wearing out too quickly.
That would account for a full stop at 2, whereas lengthy conversion times would mean we had more than 2, just not as many as we would have liked!!
Alan

IAs Alan said I beleive it was requested not to post any of it anywhere, which bit didn't you understand about that Mad Pad? I guess that's why you have problems understanding the wording of the email.

Alan, I'd be wary of distributing that email freely. I guess if it was from Stanelco to yourself then that's how it should remain. My main concern is that if it is seen that private communications in good faith cannot be trusted then it makes it alot harder for private investors to get genuine answers to our questions (if we have any).

Just a thought.

Biscuit

Actually biscuit, you made me read the caveat on the end and that makes it clear that as named recipient I can send it on or report its contents. It is those not named as recipient who are bound not to copy it.
Alan

That may be so, however, I would still think twice with regards to who I sent it on to.

Biscuit

Why on earth is letting people have a short note written to a private investor a problem?! If they sent it to Alan, I imagine they'd send the same to you Biscuit if you asked.

That maybe so, but it's up to me to ask Stanelco directly. Otherwise you get people like "Mad Pad" then asking questions about what the answer means etc. Therefore filling the BB with more questions and then probably generating more emails! Best to treat all emails as personal and private.

I Believe Sylvia Leavey has probably received several queries re: the number of machines converted, so anyone who cares to request clarification will get the same response!

The situation with SEO has started to remind me of a solicitor friend of mine.
Bear with me, it's a long story.
One day we were discussing how we select staff at interview stage. He told me the most important question he asked was the first one. He always asked "To make a rabbit pie, what is the first thing you must do"?
He argued that the most difficult thing in making a rabbit pie was catching a rabbit and so he wanted to hear the answer "catch a rabbit". He considered any other answer to be prevaricating, and signalled a potential employee who would spend months if necessary, creating a system then wondering where the hell to find clients. He wanted staff who would find the client and then worry about how the hell to process them and make some money.
When I sat and thought about his, there is quite a lot to be said for his approach to recruitment. Even the most fantastic business in the world has one thing it finds difficult. And that is finding the client.
SEO would definitely answer; "Catch a rabbit".
(Cue loads of jokes about Greensealed Rabbit Meat in Asda).
Alan

Alan yes they would say "We have caught 200 rabbits" and they would mean "we are in talks with a number of partners with regard to acquiring an opportinuty to discuss the possibilty of moving forward with industry partners who may have the ability in the future to deliver the possibilty of TWO rabbits

Hi Alan,
From the e-mail you received are you confident that the problem has been accurately diagnosed and that SEO / ASDA really know what it is and are not still trying to work it out? Do they have a solution to avoid it happening on future conversions?

Cheers
