robin* .... as i have written on several occasions, this is one time when i would truly love to be wrong, but certainly there is nothing so far that indicates other than death and destruction of this company, either by decapitation or by 1000 cuts (i.e. drastic dilution of shareholders' funds through a large and deeply discounted rights issue, or debt for equity swap)

cynic- time will tell and time is also a great healer for whoever gets it wrong -being it long or short on this one. (In the meantime I am enjoying the "leg pulling")

Looks like tonyrelaxes has been dipping into the petty cash again with another 1m shares.

ask the person who just bought? 5,000,000 shares. They must know something that we don't

Evening all.
I'm back, bow legged and boz-eyed from a wonderful weekend on the Wiltshire / berkshire border with the Mrs.
Can't be bothered reading through this lot, but I can guess.
Has anyone seen the news from WM that by 01/02/2007 all their suppliers will have the "tools and processes" for more environmentally packaging available to them?
Probably, and you've probably discussed it to death.

robin hood - starfrog- do your homework before you post
And what homework would that be. If you re-read my post (rather than jumping straight in on some asssumption) you will find that firstly it was an open ended question (which nobody bothered to answer), secondly a couple of statements of fact and finally a warning to the uninitiated.

Welcome back.
Just between you and I, tell me did your missus have to tip you out of a wheebarrow into bed on Friday night and then have to listening to the revolting sounds of wild boar snoring the night away?
Oh, and before I go, are you still married?

PS And yes, we did hear the one about Walmart and the suppliers' toolkits.

dear oily ..... as said regularly before, a buy of any quantity can just indicate someone closing their short position and prudently banking a very healthy profit

Hi Oily,
Still married. No snoring cos I can never sleep on hotel beds :-((
Scanning the posts, I noticed the toolkits were mentioned, I was just intrigued by no-one mentioning the processes bit. Interests me, that WM are giving 120000 suppliers details of how to green up not only their materials, but also their processes.
Just letting the old imagination have free reign for a while.

OK cynic, accept that, but who was it that said that there were 66m shares on short positions a few days ago? As buys have outnumbered the sells by a factor of at least 2:1 during the last week, surely the number of shares in short positions must have been substantially reduced.
Comments please all.

You only use one layer of polyethylene there for it is Green.
The current process of heat sealing has numerous drawbacks. It requires a laminated layer of polyethylene (PE) to act as a sealing layer. It is usually unable to reliably seal through contamination and it is energy inefficient. By using Stanelco's sealing technology it is possible to offer enormous savings to both packagers and supermarkets alike:
It's on the Research Page.

Thankyou, driver.
But I don't see how thermosealing one layer of polyethylene makes it green. Polyethylene is not biodegradeable - unless treated with additives. And before anybody shouts "Starpol", that was part of my original question. Why is the latter not being pushed as vehemently as GS? The GS machines on their own do not make for a greener packaging technology.

Thanks driver, take your point on the cost saving.

It goes further SF.
GS reduces waste, reduces leaky packs and uses less energy for the seal head.
Green all round, but I agree that the only green things that sell are those that are an improvement over the non green item or are cheaper for business to use.

And you can use stuff made from starch (instead of polyethylene) which is fully biodegradable, which makes it fully green. As the man said do your research - it's been out there for over a year repeated endlessly on here.
