Oi you, you mind your own loins, you cheeky bugger!
I'm not revealing what effect flowers and chocs have on my loins. If I did, you'd all be at it!

PS Still concerned about the potential market for non GM starpol etc that seems to be passing us by.
Watch this space.

From what I have gathered from digging and e-mails , is that SEO are aware and dealing.
This suggests an european source for PLA for those wanting GM free.
Hope this healps.

Terry explicitly stated to me, in an e-mail, that volume orders would necessitate sourcing crop from all over the world, as close as possible to manufacturing units, which in turn were as close as possible to the paskaging facilities. This suggested to me that UK production would use UK corn etc. Almost all the GM crops are grown in the US and Asia, in turn suggesting that European Starpol would be GM free, not by choice, but simply because European corn is, on the whole, none GM.

Anyone any idea when those 2 letters of intent will become contracts?

I think this is the gist of how it works --NOT CAST IN STONE
Small deals get shown pretty quickly, larger deals get delayed -- probably some time restriction -- but do not need to be shown immediately
While yours is not a huge deal it could be for the share --- this depends on what the mm sizes are on the screen as to whether they delay recognition -- deal outside the size they can delay I think
That's why your purchase can look like a sale if the share price has moved a little between when you buy and when the deal is shown.

ta.
it all sounds a bit fishy.
Hopefully soon to be wrapped in biodegradeable film, and I can stop worrying.

Interesting find from PM1, which is further confirmation of some of my own research and what you have already read here :-
http://www.sustainweb.org/pdf/LFS_MarkBarthel.pdf
Page 19 shows the Salad Bags under trial with ASDA.
Page 23 shows a sealing machine and extolls the advantages of RF.
The pdf document is, I think, slides of a WRAP (Waste and Resources Action Programme) presentation.

Now that's very interesting. That trade of 1.95m shares was shown on the screen at around 8.40am this morning but at 4.1p. When I used the refresh button, it disappeared off the screen and the volume of shares traded dropped by that amount.
It now appears on the screen as a trade at 3.89p. What's the explanation?
Anyone out there cleverer than Pooh Bear?

I briefly popped into an ASDA, Watford just now.
I found MadPad's Braeburn Organic Apples from NZ in loose-fill bags (sealed with a bit of a knot of sellotape!). No mention of Mater-Bi, or anything else about the packaging, on the bag. Only the usual guff about origin, storage, addresses etc. Plus a badge of approval from the BioOrganic Assoc (or something like that).
Sounds like MadPad's pommes might be part of an ongoing limited trial - now where have I heard that before?
Do you think Novamont and their shareholders will but up with being w*nk*d about for nearly 2 years with trials?
(Bit tongue in cheek - but expresses some of our frustration!)
PS - no sign of "Mixed pepper Salad" as in page 19 of the presentation I listed earlier today. Another limited trial?

SEO will slowly dwindle to 2p by the end of the year

Novamont broke even in 2002, T/O of 33m Euro and 100 employees.
Novamont founded in 1990, so 12 years to break even!
Also:
"packaging was used for organic food products, in the British chain stores Sainsbury's and Tesco"
and
"Novamont increased the production capacity at its Terni Factory, from 8000 to 20,000 tonnes/year"
So SEO appears to be on a faster track in terms of production, perhaps because of the focus on higher volume products.

I hope so mate as I sold 320,000 at 3.9p so would be great to get the cahnce to re-buy at 2p....If only I were so lucky!

No mention of -
-the 70% power saving
-the lower operating temperature and it's possible benefit to the food within.
-the extended shelf life (possibly because of the above).
-works on Starpol!!! and possibly other degradable, starch derived plastics
Maybe WRAP's area of concern is purely packaging materials and processes.
Maybe the 2 new SEO "Interim" Managers will sort out these presentational poiints.
Maybe...
Maybe...
I'm tired. Good night.

Morning all.Tony I dont think your bag was Mater-bi..After all if Sainsburys are telling us all about it on the bag I would have thought ASDA would also be promoting their green credentials,at the very least it should have said "compostible" ,if not what's the point.

Plse correct me if i am wrong but i heard that WM is having a conference on sustainability that will be co-hosted by SEO. Surely WM will not require SEO as a co-host if there was not something in the imminent pipeline?
