The latest update from Tom Bulford today says that Stanelco have a huge opportunity, but implementation is the key and he is trying to arrange a meeting with the management to discuss. Sounds positive, and we are to expect those big Walmart deals before July as per the EVO note.
I can only imagine there will be a squeeze to get smaller holders out so larger holdings can build up ahead of the summer. All pointers say that the Starpol deals will be done around June/July, and that is not too far away now !

I'm sure the progress with Asda is going to plan. Perhaps not as quick as we expected in the first few months but the final result end of exclusivity is what matters. The problem is that because Seo used to release news for almost every hint of a deal, and every complete conversion of a machine, they have put the punters mind in a state of 'no news must mean no progress! It's June/July when I expect a full progress report. Obviously, deals re the cig filters, frogpack and the like can come at any time.
keep the faith.
Yet another country looking at plastic packaging. almost every day now we see countries looking at ways to cut plastic waste/pollution.
Cyprus.
By Alexia Saoulli
'Kakouri explained the European Union required that plastics used in food packaging be of greater purity than plastics used for non-food packaging.
Continuous use of these types of plastics in this way could have a harmful effect on health'.

Lead was used by the Romans to flavour their wine (which is perhaps why they are not the force they used to be). We used it for drinking water pipes, an additive in petrol, the solder on food cans, we even used it to make toothpaste tubes!!
One day, a farm boy from Iowa, Clair Patterson, discovered just how lethal the stuff was and now it is never used in anything that may come into contact with any kind of food or drink.
I wonder if Oil Based plastics will go the same way.
Alan.
PS The 2 worst inventions of the 20th century, Lead in petrol and CFC's were both invented by the same man!!! Thomas Midgely Jr. How much damage can one man do???
History hour over. Back to SEO.

Morning, Hewittalan6,
Yes, I think it will go the same way where food products/drink are concerned.
All you will need is some proven link between plastics and a disease, with companies being sued for what is often now millions ( especially in the USA ) and it's use re food/drink will stop. The evidence re it's dangers in increasing daily.

L2 showing, SCAP,WINS,TEAM and EVO all on the bid @ 13p, with none on the ask of 13.25p. Evo is @13.75, Scap,Wins '14p with Team @ 14.50p.
It may be insignificant but have not seen such as this for some time. Although nothing much doing re movement on L2. Is something in the wind or am I looking at things that are not there. Just a thought.

By Monday this would be the second longest period of no news for a few years. The longest was over the Christmas period when we waited over 7 weeks. We have become accustomed to expect news on a weekly basis and so its very frustrating when we have to wait weeks for anything to come through.
I believe we're at the most critical stage of SEO's development {make or break time} and as such, now that all of the promises have been made, the goods now have to be delivered.
On that note, I expect very positive news when it does eventually come.
I would also hope that a deal or two is struck before the end of April with some upfront cash or the interims will be pretty dire.

On a serious note. I am hoping for the sp to remain as it is untill next Friday when I have some liquid capital available to grab a few more at this price.
Selfish, I know, but heres hoping its at least a week before any significant news / movement.

Hello folk; market closed down for the week. Gradual slide during the week. Is that good news or bad news. The answer is - good news! The argument is really quite simple. There has been a gradual slide in the sp on the basis that there has been no news whatsoever. The next real move in the price will depend on whether the next news is good news or bad news. If it were to be bad news there would be nothing to announce. Therefore it will be good news. Therefore the sp will rally dramatically as shorters close and longers long for more shares. Therefore the fact that the price has drited is good news because it gives an opportunioty to acquire shares at a better price. QED as my maths teacher used to say! Now for a happy, joyful weekend.

Hello again,
I have nicked this from Pauls discussion forum, as it is so good :)
Wal-Mart "even if it costs more show it to us"
Wal-Mart delivered a strong message to it's suppliers during the Sustainable Packaging Forum that differed in tone from past communications from the company:
"If you have a product that costs more but is better for the environment, don't be afraid to show it to us" Said Matt Kistler, Sam's Club/Wal*Mart Stores VP/product development and packaging, during a Q&A period at the event. "Are we thinking more about other areas and other opportunities? absolutely".
The follow up question to Kistler by Packaging Strategies director David luttenburger, "Have you communicated that to Wal*Mart's buyers?" brought a round of applause from the more than 200 people in the room.
According to Kistler "Wal*Mart is planning a changeover in many products in it's stores while focusing on a three pronged, sustainable approach to packaged consumer products":
Reducing the size of the package
Replacing the materials with more natural substances
Selling products that can easily be recycled

For those that are truly interested in what sustainable packaging should be aiming to achieve, it is this
"A WORKING DEFINITION OF SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING"
The Sustainable Packaging Forum was the venue for the first public reading of the Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC) of its newly penned definitions of sustainable packaging.
SPC director Anne Johnson indicated that the definitions are a part of an evolving living document. They will change as time goes one. Today these definitions form a common framework for companies to pursue strategies of sustainable materials and systems.
Sustainable Packaging:-
is beneficial, safe, and healthy for individuals and communities throughout its life cycle.
meets market criteria for performance and cost
is sourced, manufactured, transported and recycled using renewal energy
is manufactured using clean production technologies and best practices
is made from materials healthy in all probable end-of-life scenarios
is physically designed to optimise materials and energy
is effectively recovered and utilised in biological and/or industrial cradle-to-cradle cycles.
The SPCs Vision for Sustainable Packaging and comprehensive Definitions for Sustainable Packaging can be viewed at www.sustainablepackaging.org
And it is when I see material like the above, that it strengthens the faith I have in the potential of SEO's products. Lets hope the management is as good, or even better!
