I cannot substantiate this but I understand that France's biggest condom manufacturer is using Frogpack for it's products....it is to supply the need for the weekend Frog's legover.

No need to worry about the "o"s and "ia"s from Czechoslovakia they are now gainfully employed throughout the world acting as sun bed protector attendants for the Germans. Anybody who can work that out has not had enough weekend alcohol yet...hmm or maybe too much already.

After some intensive research I have ascertained that SEO are using the name Frogpack in France for biodegradable coffins.

If you read the first line of my post 15781 above, you will see why I like the concept of biodegradable coffins.
I have always thought that I am biodegradable - (after cremation).

Equally I suppose the French for hopping mad is fou de houblonnage, although perhaps this might be seen to biodegrade the French language. Don't let TFC catch us having fun with his native tongue! (always thought The Frog Collection was an odd name to choose)

The most exciting development at SEO at the moment is Polar Foil. Trials are underway (so I'm told) for a packaging that, though not biodegradable, has the massive environmental benefit of being so efficient at insulation, it can keep frozen food frozen for up to two weeks at room temperature.
Imagine the impact this could have on not needing those freezer lorries, or instore freezers, and all the energy that would save, as well as space in the warehouse etc.
I don't think they've even thought of the possibilities for house insulation etc.
Now this really is big!!!!
