From AGM Statement 2nd May:-

'As announced on 14 February 2006, Starpol 2000 now has the
relevant US FDA approval, along with its European equivalent. Starpol 3000 is
expected to be confirmed as fully compliant under the same regulation and we
expect approval in turn for this within weeks - as with another of our products
Starpol Wrap which is an ideal product to replace waxed paper for burger wrap
and other deli counter applications.'

Approval 'within weeks' - I dont think it is documented anywhere when the application was filed. If we take the 2nd May we're now up to 101 days - assuming it was before the 2nd May, we should get the good news any time now - wait for the leak followed a few days later with the RNS!

Early September is the timescale I have heard mooted for the launch of the products in Asda.
That may fit the discussion.
Alan

I can confirm from my source today that early September is the timescale for the appearance of Greenseal and Starpol in Asda stores.
I can also confirm that apart from the one we know about there is a machine in Yorkshire Fresh Produce.
When asked directly if he thought Asda would go for it, his answer was yes, probably they will.
Thats all folks. (Oh, and we won!!)
Alan

Forgot to stick the usual caveat on.
My source is Asda employed and his job relates specifically to fresh foods. I trust him completely and he is the second source in a few days to give me the same story, but this is not an RNS, and should be read as informed opinion and news, not as a statement of fact.
Alan

Well done Alan - on the match and the pumping!

Ii is highly encouraging that someone outside SEO knows something about Greenseal. we seem starved of outside confirmation of its existance.
Come to think of it SEO are not exactly forthcoming themselves.

Alan,

Thanks for sharing that. You dont have to, so much appreciated.

Very encouraging.

DOH!!!
I forgot the main ingredient!!!
MY source would insist on calling it "that biodegradable stuff".
Read that as you wish, but I read it that the Greenseal machines are running on Starpol, and Asda want it to do so.
Alan

'Morning all

Alan can't you sleep or are the kiddywinkles getting you up early? Its bad manners to be up at that time of a Sunday morning!

If we assume that your friend is right about that "biodegrable stuff", then surely ASDA will want to take it a step further to have the plastic bags converted to Starpol as well?

And then if this - Greenseal and Starpol - is repeated with a couple of other supermarkets in the Uk, there is the making of a very successful company in SEO.

Notice I haven't yet mentioned WalMart and the rest of US!!!

The oily one

Always at my computer by about 6.30, Oily.
pressures of work, don't ya know.
I have not made any remarks to my source reference WM. I have no idea what, if anything the future holds in that respect.
Funnily enough I was completely wrong about the Asda conference. It had nothing whatsoever to do with any changes to packaging. I did ask about the salad packaging, and while no names were mentioned on that, he did refer to a large packager, near Manchester. I know of no others than the one we know about, but for clarity I asked if the packagers parents, Geest, would then take it and their Icelandic parents and the answer was "possibly". Yorkshire Fresh produce is a new one on me, but I assume it was created in the dim mists of time when Associated Dairies split up to become Associated Fresh Foods and Asda, respectively.
My source is understandably coy and I never asked about carrier bags and such like, I was still reeling that he was less aware and interested in Greenseal and much more aware of "that biodegradable stuff". I may be in a minority of 1 here, but I have said for 18 months that i consider Greensel to almost be a sideshow, compared to the constant and growing revenue stream that would be Starpol.
I feel very happy about what September may bring, but this is not a blandishment to anyone to buy into SEO or increase their holding. You do so at your own risk. It is also fairly clear that if the reports from Asda and their customers are less than very good, Asda would happily drop SEO much, much faster than they took them on board.
So there appears to be the gamble. If its good, its big, if its bad, its dead.
Good luck all.
Alan

alan,

"I may be in a minority of 1 here, but I have said for 18 months that i consider Greensel to almost be a sideshow, compared to the constant and growing revenue stream that would be Starpol."

you are absolutely correct in thinking that. unfortunately , the sp rocketed on the back of greenseal. the sp has subsequently returned to where it started because seo haven't delivered on any of the promises and market sentiment has turned against them. it really doesn't matter what you, me or anyone thinks about seo. at the end of the day we are all fans of the ip but we are hostages to market sentiment and sentiment is firmly against seo. greenseal may be the sideshow to starpol but it's greenseal that opens the show and so far the opening act has been crap!! and that's the annoying thing about seo. so much promise and potential but unable to deliver.

Does anybody believe anything written about SEO on this thread any longer?

That would include the authors.

Thanks Alan, very interesting .............and certainly believable.

fred1new (last bit maybe says it all!).

I think the disbelief is not so much in what he posters say but more what SEO say - or more recently, what they do not say.

Tonyrelaxes - can you disbelieve what someone doesn't say?

This question that you raise appears to be more interesting than much of what is posted here these days. Thank you for that.

Fred,
i don't give a flying **** whether you beleive what I have written or not. It makes not one Iota of difference to me. You are completely unaware of a web of posters on here who are in contact with each other away from the boards, as the information is sensitive, and who are in close contact with people who know much more than they let on to any of us, but between us, we have a fair idea of what is going on.
Let me make myself clear again, as obviously post 18823 was not clear enough.
Take it or leave it. My source, and the others sources, may be wrong. we could be pi$$ing in the wind. it would seem strange though if many non-SEO staff, independantly and without knowledge of one another told exactly the same lies!!
September(ish) may shed more light on the accuracy of our sources, but for the hard of thinking, I'll say it again loudly.
This should be read as informed opinion and news, not as fact. It is not an RNS.
Alan

Just to underline it; post 18828;

I feel very happy about what September may bring, but this is not a blandishment to anyone to buy into SEO or increase their holding. You do so at your own risk. It is also fairly clear that if the reports from Asda and their customers are less than very good, Asda would happily drop SEO much, much faster than they took them on board.
