Talking of biodegradeable bottles, I was out in Cardiff recently and alot of the bars were selling the popular dinks (Budweiser, WKD, Smirnoff etc...) in plastic bottles made form PET. The drinks market may go this way as they are alot safer. They had all the correct branding on and so I guess they are bottled at the breweries, if SEO have or could make a biodegradeable bottle then that's a massive market potential?

Agreed when you remember that starpol is THE ONLY non PET product that has a gas barrier.How many A&E units would not be freed up to deal with real emergencies instead of those caused by broken bottle stabings in after hours brawls? If it saves the health service money then government should back it as well.Can see a massive market here as starpol is cheaper than oil based products,and will remain so.

Whilst on holiday in the mountains of Colorado recently, i discovered a company named Biota,
who also sell their spring water in biodegradable bottles made from PLA by Natureworks.

There must be massive potential for anyone bringing these bottles to the market place, but i don't think anyone has yet manufactured a biodegradable screw top to compliment the bottle?

The Plastic Sea

Worse than oil spills? An ocean awash in lethal bags, bottles, pellets, line, tarps and diapers.

Published: July 26, 2006

Although the following extracts are from an article about 10 days old, a similar article was repeated in the Telegraph at the weekend.
It gives a very good insight into, not just how much waste we dump, but where some of it ends up.
The full article is about a 5 min read

A June 2006 United Nations environmental program report estimated that there are an average of 46,000 pieces of plastic debris floating on or near the surface of every square mile of ocean.
Every year we eat and drink from some 34 billion newly manufactured bottles and containers. We patronize fast food restaurants and buy products that consume another 14 billion pounds of plastic. In total, our societies produce an estimated 60 billion tons of plastic material every year.
Each of us on average uses 190 pounds of plastic annually:

NS, Starpol can be thermoformed or injection molded. I think that may make it possible for it to be made into a screw cap, though I am not sure how screw caps are currently produced, and it may not be an economical alternative.

Yet another scare. It appears that almost weekly, if not daily we hear of the dangers in plastics. No doubt the none oil based plastics do not have this latex addative.

Food packaging poses latex health risk
Monday, 07 Aug 2006 08:35

Concern about dangerous levels of latex in food packaging has led to calls for relevant products to be clearly labelled.

Fears that some food packaging products contain up to 20 times the amount of latex required to trigger a potentially fatal reaction have been expressed by the UK Latex Allergy Support Group (LASG) advisory panel following the publication of new research today.

Lots of press reports covering the plastic bag environmental problem this weekend, SEO may at last prosper, good time to buy back now at these levels as the up side could be huge.

I really don't want to see this share 'pumped' on hearsay, gossip, and rumour again...his masters voice It's full of potential and no doubt deals will come.
SEO need to show investors 'the money' for us to get excited and buy further into an as yet unproven market.
Happy to hold.

tweenie,

Same. I have been tempted several times in the past to buy more (did give in to temptation twice, each time buying at a fair bit higher than now).
Would not advise anyone re this share, but as far as I am concerned, for me it's a hold.

Mmmmm.... I wonder if that last trade of 1.8m shares might have been Evil dumping his lot. Pure conjecture on my part without a whiff of anything to back it up.

He did say a week ago that the did not have a clue what was going on at SEO and he is not one to hang on to shares when he has a chance to make gains elsewhere. I should add that I did copy him my message to the board.

The oily one

At least we now know why with buys easily outweighing sells to close, the sp hardly moved.
As for EK dumping his lot, 1,800,000 shares at 5p would only be 90,000 worth. I would have thought EK's stake would be much more.
Of course he could be dumping in tranches.

Is it a sell, though? At 4.89 - buys and sells were going through at 4.90 and 4.89. Virtually no spread, so was it a buy or sell?

Anyone tell with Level 2?

bought 200.000 today, still no sign of them . why ? the mm's think were stupid,i dont take any notice any more, of what they post as sells or buys. i think this is the right time to get back in to this share,personally i have used it to bring down my av; price , now it wont take much to get back in profit.this company is in the right market at the right time. it's just a mater of time...... and time is now on our side ......

How can you say time is on how side when SEO as a cash burn problem and no cash flow in sight.

I bought more shares in ttc when they fell on a delayed contract,in june because i felt it was an over reaction , two days later motorola took them over....13p turned into 45p.. i see lot's of good things that could happen to SEO....dont give up ......

website just updated


Stanelco is pleased to announce an update regarding its GreenSeal technology following its initial 12 month exclusivity period with ASDA. Stanelco will continue to work with ASDA as they support our GreenSeal technology as a way to achieve part of ASDAS greater business objective of meeting their obligations around sustainability.
In order to accelerate the roll out of the technology, ASDA have agreed to waive the exclusivity, which will then offer GreenSeal to non exclusive sites.

It's Back!!!!

This seams to be bad news for SEO, now ASDA do not want exclusivity

Reading that update, let me postulate a possible scenario;
Asda want greenseal. Asda want exclusivity. Asda pressed their suppliers into changing to greenseal (remember the 200 machine forecast).
Asdas suppliers have pointed out the logistical problems of maintaining machines for Asdas exclusive use, when machines have to be interchangeable for swapping product runs and to allow downtime for maintainence and breakdown.
Asda want to get on with greenseal so much that they have accepted the inevitable and allowed the suppliers to install Greenseal packaging without having to promise that only Asda produce is packaged this way.
Makes sense to me, but I don't know the packaging industry well enough for it to be any more than an educated(?) guess.
Alan

Well , that a turn up.
Could be seen as a good or bad thing.
on the one hand, asda have said errrm thanks but not at the moment ...re greenseal.
OR more likely they have realised that in order for the pack houses to implement this technology quickly, efficiently and with a cost benefit to them, it makes sense to allow them to be able to convert machines used by several supermarket chains.

Hopefully , finally SEO will show us the money.
Still happy to hold, but will now sideline cash for a buy if needed as short notice.
