Sorry if you chaps have seen this before, but too good to leave.

We are near the bottom of the page.

Nice find Patsear but it looks as though the author is getting his information from old news releases(the article is dated 20/1 /07),or are the retrofits of 100 machines still on the cards once the trials are finished succesfully whenever that might be?Having heard nothing to the contrary I am going to assume yes,but it's all taking so bloody long!Might try to contact him on Monday if I have time to see if he knows anything we don't and find out where he researched the article.Maestro where's this imminent news then?

Sorry, but I'm in the dark as much as you, but reading it is helping me get over my hangover.[A little excitement].
Yeah I know, a lonely, desperate poor man, who gets excited by snippets of news about SEO.
BUT, always thinking of positive times ahead.

This does appear to be a re-relase of an article written in 10/05 and I can't understand why the page is dated 1/07 ?

Bottom line Tony is that they only have 12 months, if they cant crack it in that time then they are doomed.

Patisear & MP,

I'd bet the date is simply a "current date" stamp.

Tony,

Nice to see an OEM seriously commenting on GS and its development etc, though I am concerned about the time it has taken.

quote tonyrelaxes : "I can't exactly remember - proving I was there doing it ;-)"
excellent tony !

I hope this is not another false dawn but it appears we are in bed with Sainsburys at last GM or no GM!See post 79194 on dark side and follow link to Sainsburys website.

The article on the dark side is from the Sainsbury archive material which you access by clicking on their web site.

I checked it out and it appears to be old news - archive - and not current.

Sorry.

To clarify:

In the archive section it is under:

Sainsburys develop edible packaging

This is not new news and as we have not heard anything since it would appear it was not taken any further - but I hope I am wrong because it sounds great to me!!

Pinn ,then they should at least date it and not refer to a "recent example".Oct 2005 is not recent to me .Oh well back to bed.

GOING STRATOSPHERIC TOMORO....THIS IS VERY RECENT NEWS

Sainsbury's Develops Edible PackagingSainsbury's is always looking at new ways of packaging foods to provide better, more environmentally friendly alternatives for its customers.
A recent example is our work with technology specialist Stanelco Plc and the development of an edible starch packaging, made solely from natural and biodegradable substances, that is set not only to minimise packaging but also provides Sainsbury's customers with 100% product and no wastage.
This innovation will mean that the potato starch packaging becomes an ingredient along with its contents, be it a dried soup or a three-course meal. In fact the ability to flavour the starch with herbs or spices is a new means by which to enhance product flavour as well as package it. The applications for easily prepared, convenient food are endless but fundamentally this is an environmental milestone in an area renowned for its wastefulness.
The search for an alternative to gelatine capsules, following the BSE scare, brought starch into the frame as a viable alternative for an edible packaging that would be safe and easy to absorb. The success of starch in this instance highlighted the greater possibilities for food packaging in general.
Edible packaging is a great alternative for people who don't want the hassle of preparing a snack or meal, or for those who simply don't have the time. It's also good for those who want a convenient way of taking food to work or, for example, on a camping trip, as it requires little preparation. But its most important feature is that it has none of the problems associated with conventional packaging no more one-use wrappers that sit in landfills for years before they start to perish.

Maestro,

Calm down - this IS OLD NEWS NOT NEW-DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

It would be great if it had been news and IF IT HAD then the price would have started going up on friday - but it did not.

So, back to reality.

NO I don't understand...this is the first time i have seen it so it must be very recent news...mms obviously caught napping

OK:

Go to the Sainsbury web-site and look for Sainsbury Edible packaging under ARCHIVE!

You will then see that this is OLD news and not NEW.

I wish I was wrong - sorry.

It is old news, but more recent news includes (a few months ago) Andy Bond of Asda inviting Sainsburys to work with Asda on environmental initiatives and (last week or so) Asda and Sainsburys investigating sharing supply chain logistics, starting with joint warehousing and possibly delivery.
They are working closely.

Well that was exciting while it lasted.

so, if you think about it, is the thought that supermarkets can be much more "green conscious" and save themselves a fortune too by not wrapping the unnecessary - i.e. sweetcorn and parsnips and onions etc etc

of course that wouldn't do the likes of SEO much good, but then my view of said company is already more than well known.

Not to piss on your argument,cynic......but
If you want loose vegetable you buy them loose.
However I'd like to see you get a salad loose from your local tesco's or for that matter any fruit/veg that has been 'processed' in any way shape or form.
It's all consumer driven... and like it or not Oe public ain't green and never will be.
Long live the idle waste on packaging. I want more...........So long as it's green and made by seo.
That way I can say I'm doing my bit for the environment.:-)
And what exactly is your position on this company- LOL.

tweenie ..... go to France or Italy or Spain then and you'll see loose leaf salad sold loose .... yolu help yourself and put it in a bag ...... now tell me why swedes or bananas or caulifower or cabbages are often displayed wrapped?

my positon on this company, and it has never varied, is that it's CRAP and just wish i had had the balls to short it when first encountered at 3p ..... if the company survives, it will be by pure good fortune - e.g. some company thinks it worth picking up whatever intellectual or technical copyright SEO may have before there is a bun fight when the receiver moves in
