yes 3000 does not need approval

Johnny the Fox,

Cheers,

Yes from the article I did not realize that some plastics last over 60 years in sea water. To find plastic pieces from WW2 surprised me. I appreciate that plastic is almost everlasting on land, but would have expected salt water to break it down long before a period of 60 years.

Have a good break all.

Barney,

Walmart will be looking at both 2000 and 3000, as you don't need a clear tray for a lot of products, only a clear lid.

Perseco will be looking at foamed 2000, as you don't need a clear container for a Big Mac, but you would also prefer insulation.

Thanks sd have tried seems to work. Ref to those posts,they were about Starpol 3000.

Take it you'll all be rushing off to see Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price at your local arthouse.

AGM tomorrow.

I have no chance of getting across to it.

Who is going?

Please report back.

I will be there from the start and 2 others will be there but probably arriving later. We will report back here during the evening.

Greekman. What breaks plastics down the most is ultraviolet radiation ie being out in the sun. That and ESC (environmantal stress cracking) which can be caused by the most unlikely chemicals. EG a flexible storage bin which turns brittle after a label is stuck on it. A Plastic Kettle which was allergic to a common flyspray. Im not a chemist but I dont think seawater would harm most plastics. Being kept out of sunlight at the bottom of the sea would help preserve it.
(In my last job I was involved in designing roof aerials for cars and was frightened to death by the ESC course I went on at RAPRA ).

I was under the impression that if there were anything significant to announce at an AGM, there had to be an RNS release of the AGM statement, simultaneously to the AGM.
I may be wrong, but if I am right then no RNS = No significant news to emerge and we will be relying on probing questioning from our Paxman type posters and nudge nudge chats after the event.
Alan

I doubt there will be any major news today. BUT, in the event there is, the release will be timed to coincide with the commencement of the AGM...thats purely my guess.

Alan,

I suppose they'll do the AGM statement as they did last year once the AGM has started. I think is was half year end last week also so the statement should give a nice update.

We'll see.

So there is the RNS.
A quick scan is full of promise, but timescales and figures are in short supply again.
Alan

rpaco,

Cheers for that, interesting.

The RNS promises much, with comments such as on the cusp. Talks at the highest level of negotiations, the opportunity to demonstrate to a senior contingent of the Wal Mart meat team a commercial installation of GREENSEAL currently being trialled at Grampian Foods. The update on interests in frogpack ,the challenge re RF sealing been met and overcome, and so on.
Without a positive statement such as contract to be signed, roll out of certain number of machines etc, this won't push the sp up wards. My comments may be taken as negative, but they are not meant to be as I am even more confident in the now not to distant future. Will be nice to see the write ups from AGM attendees late today.

Tomorrow's jam will be Greensealed, Starpolled, CradleWrapped and dropped from a helicopter into supermarkets, in a FrogPack. Yes more promises and expecations but there is a certain air of confidence that has not been quite so apparent before. We'll get there!
kim

Yep,

Greekman, agreed. Just need patience, but expect the sp to retrace a tad on no significant news....all very, very promising but does not yet pay the bills!!

We seem to have a new product, and what is Frog Mat.

Starpol Wrap
Which is an ideal product to replace waxed paper for burger wrap
and other deli counter applications.

Having read it properly, it is very encouraging, and I can't think of any other share where a statement like that would not ignite the sp. But this is SEO, with a history of promises and no fulfillment, yet.
I am still a very happy holder, and get very excited when I read of senior level negotiations with some of the worlds biggest companies, and of SEO having the opportunity to present, on WM's behalf, to WM suppliers.
But, on a note of caution, I read that the vertical filling packaging was not as complex and full of problems as the tray lidding. This is the first time, to my knowledge that SEO have acknowledged tray lidding to have any problems other than tooling. Or am I being picky?
Also, why no update on the filter tow? Is it being quietly forgotten? I would have thought that if cradlewrap, frogpack and other obscure sidelines were worthy of update, then surely the filters were.
An (on balance) happy Alan

I think the initial responses here are on the ball. I find the statements made credible and the difficulty of the process is not understated. JJS (/PM) is justified in the claim regarding the WalMart meat visit and the Perseco potential is spect out. A couple of references could be the continuance of over-optimism but support the air of activity and negotiation. Should support the current sp and attract some institutional support on a longer term basis.

Eric

Alan: tooling is a pretty all-embracing term; the fact that they were demonstrating to WalMart at Gardiners is positive though and demonstates that ASDA are confident enough to join in the marketing effort to their parent. As I recall, they gave themselves 6 months to negotiate the filter business; not of the same order of importance as Greenseal and Starpol so not the time to comment. presumably will come up in questions.
