More green claptrap in todays Torygraph"Biodegradeable packaging for food products has been or will be introduced by ASDA ,the Co-op,M+S and Sainsbury's .This is made from plant matter and should break down in your compost bin.M+S is the only major retailer to have removed PVC from all its packaging ,but Sainsburys and Waitrose are also phasing it out."I'm begining to understand the move to this type of packaging but am finding it increasingly hard to see how the concept relates to Stanelco,still dead in the water sales wise.Some company is producing this packaging but it aint us at the moment.

'Some company is producing this packaging but it aint us at the moment. '

Makes you wonder how thats possbile, doesn't it? What with the great Patent protection SEO were supposed to have.

Oblo,

Most likely because the sacked techies thought that X% of secret ingredient Y would be the world beater and everyone would be knocking at the door for it. Also pratting around with just the right ingredients, possibly/probably losing the march on the competition in the process. Whereas the customers are simply happy to have a bog standard biodegradable material with less of the fuss etc.

What do I know, just hoping that news breaks before my patience!

WOW
More posts in a day than for a week.
Must be something in the air?


If only.....

Could this be it for SEO? Have they missed the boat?

Not de-ramping, just starting to think they have left things too late.

Film targets biodegradable market

By Ahmed ElAmin in Birmingham
16/05/2007 - With the launch of an oil-based biodegradable film Natural Flexible has added to its portfolio, through which it hopes to conquer the emerging market.

PLA, the biggest competitor in the biodegradable packaging market, has the DISADVANTAGE that it will not biodegrade in landfill, while Supereco will, Slack said. PLA has held appeal within the packaging industry because it is biodegradable when composted, helping food packagers to meet EU waste targets.

From same article

'Another company competing in the biodegradable packaging market is UK-based Stanelco. The company markets a natural, biodegradable food packaging based on starch, called Starpol 2000.' What happened to Starpol 3000? Why are these minor journalists always two steps behind ? How many other inaccuracies in the article?

Exactly. Whatever happened to Starpol 3000. Anyone know for certain?

Starpol 3000 is still being tinkered with formula wise. Expect 3000 refers to the year it will be ready.
Hopefully my granchildren will all have rocket packs and be living on the moon whilst the Earth federation fights the evil THETON empire.

Tweenie,

Not as daft as it sounds. But you must be a forever optimist. 3000AD indeed.
Perhaps Starpol 4000 will bio-degrade in the moons atmosphere!

My bloody cash is biodegrading, I know that.

GM,

SEO are already working on it, check it out, its in the annual report:

"Other products being developed within this division are:"
..........
"Starpol 4000 this is a blend of biodegradable and conventional plastics. We are currently working on hybrid solutions to deliver specific materials required in the global market place"

Scotsman says BUY

STANELCO uses radio frequency (RF) applications for a range of services, from welding to the building of fibre-optic furnaces.

One of its RF applications is used for packaging nuclear waste as safely as possible. It has also branched out in a more commercial direction to use RF welding under the GreenSeal brand to seal food trays. Stanelco also operates under the FrogPack brand, which provides packaging for fragile items such as glass and liquids.

Stanelco's products are being trialled with Asda, whose parent company is the mighty US giant Wal-Mart. It is also rumoured that McDonald's is considering Stanelco's products.

Unfortunately, although the company's revolutionary sealing process's intellectual properties have been confirmed, the move to commercial reality is proving challenging. Indeed, Stanelco's share price has collapsed from 24p to about 1p over the past 12 months.

The group's cash burn is quite high and it was obliged to raise some 16 million last October through a placing and open offer. The latest set of results did not offer much encouragement either, if heavily distorted by the company's restructuring.

Even so, Stanelco's loss of 15m, against a loss of 3.3m last year, was appreciable and the group's survival cannot be guaranteed.

On the other hand, the developing campaign against the proliferation of plastic bags suggests that alternative methods of sealing and packaging are under serious consideration.

I am a shareholder in Stanelco, normally an overwhelming burden for any quoted company but, for those prepared to take the real risk that this investment implies, the rewards could be considerable.

is there a timewarp?
