Aw Driver! did you have to post that pic? I'm starving, just nipped in to have a look at the state of the market whilst half way through mowing the lawn/hayfield/swamp; could eat Jimmy's horse on the NOWT thread but I'm not even allowed to eat my favourite junky junk food at the moment....I'll have to make to with a nice cold Leffe instead!

Barney,

There is a world of difference between 'No orders' and 'no likelyhood of orders'.

Look at the list of those sticking with this share - would we all be in if there was 'no likelyhood of orders'? Of course there is a likelyhood of orders at some stage. Its plain stupid to suggest there isn't.

No offence intended - lol!

Would that be one Big Mac or two.

I'll just take the (wrap 100) wrappers please, driver. Far more nutritous (and tasty I would guess) and probably more biodegradable!


Now, on a more serious note (for once), I hadn't checked out SEO's TM's for a while and I've just noticed they put in a new application in January for STARPOL (they already have a registration) to extend the goods. Some interesting new applications here which may suggest where they could take this in the future.

P.S.

Also a similar app. in the States - this should link to details:-

edit: P.P.S. - doesn't link now, but broadly speaking the U.S. app covers the same as the EU app.

had a quick trawl on t'internet re pricing for wax wraps for food packaging. it ain't as cheap as I imagined $50 per 10000 sheets seems about average.
Anyone know how many McD's get through worldwide in a year?
I'm slightly more happier and can almost taste the 'jam tommorrow'

nice find OBLOMOV.

Sorry, Gentlemen, but "Jam Tomorrow" has been referred to the "Axiom and Maxim Revue Board" for further consideration.
Any use of the phrase will be reported to the "Cliche Complaints Commission", who will come down on you like a ton of bricks until the cows come home.
Thank you.

I think someone put the decimal in the wrong place on that last trade!

nice half million buy after hours

Hmm, a sticky situation for some then Alan! Talking about the cows coming home, my wife is due back any minute so i had better get back to mowing the swamp. (I REALLY did not mean that, she is one in a million!).

A good spot indead Oblomov. Tesco are introducing degradeable bags by September, have SEO got a foot in the door?
kim

Yes Biscuit, I noticed that and my whole future flashed before my eyes!!
kim

according to Shares Mag today the bio bags are from Symphony Plastics(SYM:AIM)
for Tesco with Asda.Sainsbury and Morrisons also expected to follow

Harwood,

excuse me for being thick, but which bio bags?

TB=Hold

Harwood27
Mm, yes on page 8 but not yet confirmed that Tesco will use Symphony. It has to be said that they are a good company and the sp is ripe for a punt, but I will stick with SEO; maybe a merger/takeover one day?
kim

There is, of course, a difference between degradable and biodegradable. Answers on a postcard.

Plastic bag issues in Australia
Posted May 23rd 2006 4:27PM by Andrew Barrow
Filed under: Business, Australia, Trends

I mentioned a few days ago the plan by UK supermarket Tescos to introduce bio-degradable carrier bags across the country. In Australia a similar plan has failed to produce the environmental benefits hoped for.

The Australian Government's economic advisory body has recommended ditching plans to wipe out their huge use of plastic bags (estimated ot be five billion plastic bags a year), saying the costs outweigh the benefits.
The idea to save marine wildlife and reduce litter was of course a good one but they say that plastic bags are not that great a threat to wildlife and that the authorities have not taken into account that bags are reused as bin liners. The commission argues that tougher anti-litter laws or harsher fines might be a better way of addressing litter.

The supermarket chains Woolworths and Coles have so far failed to meet a 50 per cent reduction target by the end of last year.

The image is from the BBC; an article on green issues.

Also:

Tesco introduces biodegradable plastic carrier bags
December 10, 2003 The Tesco supermarket chain is to start using biodegradable plastic carrier bags following a six months pilot trial. The bags will be made using Environmental Products' technology from Canada in which proprietary TDPA (Totally Degradable Plastic Additives) are added to the PE or PP film during production to render it degradable and ultimately biodegradable in a suitable disposal environment such as landfill or in soil. Before disposal bags can be reused or recycled without degrading.
The TDPA technology - which is also licensed to Ciba Specialty Chemicals for worldwide agricultural applications under the brand name Envirocare - differs from that in other biodegradable films in that the additives can be added at the machine throat, generally at letdown ratios of 2 - 3 per cent, and work by accelerating the oxidation of the plastic. The reaction is triggered by heat or UV light, and enhanced by mechanical stress and moisture.
Once the plastic begins to oxidise it becomes brittle and susceptible to the usual agents of degradation, such as moisture and microbes. Oxidation can start in five or six weeks.
Other biodegradable plastics use organic starch additives which can be digested by micro-organisms, but leave the plastic molecules. The action of these additives is triggered by moisture, which EPI says leaves them open to unplanned degradation. The EPI oxo-biodegradation process is triggered by light, heat or stress, but, says EPI, occurs at a rate tailored to the buyer's requirements, breaking down over months or years.
The Tesco contract follows market development by EPI's former UK agent Symphony Plastics which earlier this year conducted trials with Tesco and Safeway on EPI-treated rubbish bags.
Symphony broke away from EPI during the summer to concentrate on its own d2w additive technology - although EPI claimed that it terminated the contract because Symphony had fallen short on its agreed uptake of EPI additives. Subsequently Symphony signed an agreement to supply its additives to a retailer in North America, and for a distributor to sell them in Brazil.

Where's JJS?

No doubt squelched! He wouldn't shut up of his own accord, would he?

Incidentally, having recorded my acquisition today, I wonder who else has averaged down?
