You've got a fake keyboard??!!!??
Too surreal for me. ;-)
Thanks for that Tweenie. What it means, in effect, is that in about 10 years, if the technology is kept at the forefront, repeat orders come in to add to new orders.
Always like to see that in a business, because new orders are so expensive to get and difficult to source. i know it is very long term, but it makes SEO more attractive than a company that supplies a one hit product and then has to look for new clients.

Not all machines would have been bought at the same time, some could be very close to life expired so the packhouses will also have to evaluate whether to convert or replace.

Oblo:
"We are currently working with ASDA and four of its key suppliers to fulfil the initial stage of the ASDA contract. Current potential placements are expected to lead to orders in excess of 50 conversions with one supplier to ASDA. Another supplier is presently indicating a requirement for another 30 machines"

So approx. 80 machines from two suppliers.

"We could see some action once this exclusivity deal with ASDA ends".

When does this deal end ?

2000000 buys 500,000 sells sp not moving up much , shame blue dosn't make the SP move as fast red

Freshinfo - London,UK
Asda has lost marketing director Richard Hodgson to Waitrose, where he is set to become buying director after quitting the Leeds-based supermarket after five ...

Thanks Gary - where'd you take it from? The 3 mentioned in the interims could convert to 120-150 conversions then. If they do the deal and make the announcement, expect to see the SP take, IMO.

Barry, the 'extended' exclusive period for ASDA ends next week - the 27th. I think.

Gary,

Thanks re the clarification, 4 suppliers (told you my memory ain't what it was).
Re can Stanelco's biodegradable food trays withstand oven temperatures.
I am certain (wait for someone to tell me I am wrong) that they can't, but this will not be a problem. Who puts ready meals in an oven nowadays. I would think that well over 90% of these meals are cooked via a microwave. I know if I shop for a ready meal, I check re microwave cook-able. Like most I want it within a few mins at most. We live in a want if now, throwaway world, thank goodness we do otherwise SEO would not be looking at most of their products.

Oblo,

Was in the pre-close update (16th December 2005).

Thanks gary.

Thanks for the info re the food trays, I didn't think it would be possible to make a biodegradeable food tray that could withstand oven temperatures, however if you look at ASDA's ready made meal shelves there are quite a large number of meals that are meant to go in the oven, some are in what look like metal trays and some look like black plastic but can still withstand oven temperatures, (I'm lazy and buy these alot) however I presume GS will still be able to seal these trays anyway.

There are dozens of different types of trays that could be biodegradable and GS that is the potential of seo

Greenseal can be used re most such plastic type trays as they are usually made from (Polyethylene terephthalate). Creation: Production of 1 kg of PET requires the equivalent of about 2 kg of oil (raw material and energy).
Greenseal also saves up to 20% on packaging costs by eliminating the need for a PE layer for example seals mono APET to mono APET
APET is suitable for use between -40C and +70C. APET is an extremely tough material with good impact strength. APET is an extremely effective barrier against oxygen, water, carbon dioxide and nitrogen.

I lost 150 in a Dyson cleaner once - it came out in a lot better shape that the 10 I lost in a washing machine. Mind you there are some ASDA meals that don't survive cooking, let alone the packaging.

Just wanted to add the sumof my knowledge to the great debate that is SEO.

I've been wrestling with (Giant) Haystacks seering analysis of SEO and, frankly, I'm floored.

I really dont know why we are bothering with seo there are so many experts on this thread we could open our own packaging company using Bostic to seal the lids and be well ahead of seo.

Bostic is not environmentally friendly enough because it is high in VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds).
Much better to use flour and water. Similar to Greenseal really.
And if we did it with a machine that used an air vortices for the MAP element we could outdo Dyson at the same time.

Relative cost of unsaleable goods falls in 2005

By Ahmed ElAmin
19/07/2006 - Manufacturers managed to reduce the relative cost of reimbursing retailers for unsaleable goods in 2005, indicating they may have turned a corner in combatting a $2bn problem.
The costs of returning or disposing of unsaleable goods is usually borne by retailers, distributors, and manufacturers. The payments depend on the agreements between the manufacturer and the retailer, the type of product, and the reasons for not being able to sell the goods.

Everyone will be looking to jump on the bandwagon, hopefully SEO's.

Seos alternative investors packaging machines.

New Packaging can save money, but not if you are a SEO shareholder.

Bags the one with the duck.
