This thread is a follow up from all the information posted on this thread:

The story for Stanelco PLC (LSE:SEO) may well be accelerating behind the scenes, as Wal-Mart's Packaging Scorecard goes live to 60,000 suppliers on 2nd February, and Stanelco products appear on that Website (see the posts on this via the link above).
Also Stanelco PLC products appear on the Marketgate Packaging Scorecard Website, which is like the Wal-Mart Scorecard Website, but is a GLOBAL site, not restricted to Wal-Mart buyers or suppliers, it is a products showcase for low carbon products like those from Stanelco PLC.
The files on the 3 links below show the main list of raw materials, plus a detailed specification of Stanelco's bioplastic, and a specification of Natureworks PLA as a comparison, and anyone can see how Stanelco's bioplastic is a much more impressive product, it also has a lower cost, and gets a higher score on the system :)
All raw materials - [www.stanelco.devisland.net]
Stanelco Bioplastic - [www.stanelco.devisland.net]
Natureworks PLA - [www.stanelco.devisland.net]
You've heard of climate change right ?
These products are what the packaging industry will be using by choice to combat climate change in their industry, it is also good economics as the cost of bioplastics is now in a position to take big market share from oil based plastics, thus reducing the reliance on oil, as per G.W.Bush's remarks.
This is ethical investing at a time when the world needs these products ASAP, but rather than hold the world to ransom, Stanelco will sell their products at a discount to the oil based products that are causing climate change !
The Wal-Mart Scorecard Website has been updated recently too, only a few days until it goes live for 60,000 suppliers to input their scores, still in 'demo' mode but looking good :)

And here we have Stanelco products (Starch, Starpol 2000, Starpol 3000, Starpol Wrap 100) still listed very nicely at the top of the page, the first place anyone looks when opening the page :)

nice find driver.
I still think theres a long way to go down this road for this company but I think slowly but surely the roadworks are being removed and the lights are turning green.

Yes Driver nice find.
A few months ago an article such as this would have seen the sp rocket.
Having been bitten so many times it looks like us punters have learned a lesson as far as SEO are concerned and are waiting for 100% solid news. Hopefully not long in coming.

Looks as if the institutional investment is in the driving seat and beginning to pay off. I hope so as I've averaged down now-hopefully I will regain my losses on this one this year.

left off posting as he site was just reguritaing old news and full of ankle chewers.
I still don't think that this share will rocket again.
Too many pi's have been burnt.
I do believe that if there is positive newsflow and mre importantly they actually sell something ..... thn we will see a slow but steady increment in he sp.
I still won't be topping up or even consider doing so ahead of the interims. I WILL expect there to be some good news then, or any rise up till then by speculatorswill take a nose dive.
It's easy to be critical of this company , but as others have said , what the big supermarkets want from their suppliers, is what they will get.
Walmart want packaging from stanelco............... enough said.
I'll crawl back under my rock.
Let the Bitching begin.
Good luck to all the regulars.

I don't think the PI's will influence the sp one way or another. We're far too small.

Hi Eric - just thinking it's nice to be up 75% on SEO - if only the part we bought recently. Every cloud . . .
Can you put a rocket under DGT please, need some funds for elsewhere!

Interesting to see that the great green/ethical?? company that is ASDA is the first UK supermarket to bring in US size zero clothing. For me its a pretty good indication that they ain't interested in ethics, only making money and unless packaging is cheaper they ain't going to care one iorta.

qtheman,
I agree big business is only interested in profit. Ethics as you say does not come into it, but that does not matter. It's the customer that counts in the final analysis.
If the customer wants green, then Asda and every other similar business will be scrambling to give them what they want. Supply and demand, demand and supply.
Yes, they only care about ethics, if ethics translates into cash.

Lizard. Reading between the lines the scenario seems to be that SEO withdrew their Starpol 3000 product for reformulation after some initial trials; these could well have been with Walmart. Preliminary results are 21st March; incidentally less than three months after year-end, compared with 4 months last year. That will have given 4 months for the new regime to make some progress and build some confidence. The rumour machine will probably get into full gear by then. Hence there should be a price run up in advance followed either by euphoria or despair! Don't risk your shirt but perhaps your underpants!
