just for the interest of you guys ..... have just come back from S of France and it was interesting to note that the two supermarkets I ventured into (Champion and Leclerc), make you BUY your (relatively strong) plastic carrier bag at the exit (15 cents) ..... knowing how many of these damn things we accumulate at home, though they do get recycled for cat litter(!), the saving in plastic must be very considerable indeed.

as an aside, the quality and variety of fresh produce even in these small-town supers made one cringe at their UK counterpart ...... the greengrocers in the town(s) and even villages leave almost anything in UK for dead!

What ever happened to the sale of the patent for the Biodegradable Cigarette Filter, on the radio today five live they said there is 2b discarded filters just on the beaches alone every year that figure is increasing because of the smoking ban starting tomorrow it take ten to fifteen years for a butt to biodegrade because of there plastic content the patent must be worth a fortune.

Have SEO still got this patent?

does it matter? ..... SEO has even less life and value than BFC!

who turned the rock over?
:-)

tweenie .... don't be a cheeky boy or the bogey man will get you ... lol!

cynic
Dont you think the value of the butt patent is worth at least 100m what would that do to the sp.

Biotec greatly increases Bioplastics capacity
Wednesday, 27 June 2007, 14:30 GMT

Biotec GmbH, the 50/50 subsidiary of Stanelco PLC (UK) and Groupe Sphere (France) has installed a new 5m Silo, and plans for producing bioplastics on a big scale commence at the end of July.

The Emmerich-based company "Biotec" is being visited by a range of celebrities, including the Walmart board of directors and a French film team. Even French president Nicolas Sarkozy is impressed by Biotec products. He looked at products such as bin bags and carrier bags at "Sphere" in Paris, that are being produced on the basis of granules manufactured by Biotec.

As of July, Biotec will manufacture granule for biodegradable plastics. This is of particular interest in France, since oil-based plastic bags will be banned from 2010. "Sphere", the French mother company recognised the signs and bought Biotec one and a half years ago and will now manufacture bin bags from the granules, with great future perspectives.

The company manufactures granules that serve as plastic raw material based on potato starch. The advantages: It is a renewable ressource. Experts fear that there will be no more oil in 30 years from now. The properties are similar to standard plastic bag, but is biodegradable within two weeks.

Nothing new - different version of the previous report, but at least it mentions SEO specifically.

This bit alone, gives me new hope.

It is good to see a mention of SEO in connection with this but I hope that I am being pessimistic when I look at the RNS that referred to all this being 'nascent': an anagram of that in French is 'cent ans', SPhere is French so would it mean 100 years before profit, or SPhere saying "involve Stanelco?, non, not in a cent ans"?!

Snippet from the RNS;

the Stanelco sales and product
pipeline is currently nascent and is expected to be developed over the course of
the next 18 months or so. '

Just for fun, lets change the word nascent to the Oxford English Dictionary definition of the word;

the Stanelco sales and product pipeline is currently
just coming into existence and is expected to be developed over the course of the next 18 months or so. '

Add this to the news from Biotec and its American visitors and there is a faint glimmer of hope.
I read the RNS as stating that sales are just starting and will take 18 months to reach potential, rather than will not start for 18 months...........but I am used to getting it wrong with SEO.

Bloody stop it NOW!

We've all been on that merry-go-round, or should it be "Big Dipper" for some time now........this is the seed of 1 to 35 per share chit chat.

REAL NEWS OF DEFINITE REVENUE is required!

Al
I agree they must have started, they cant be sitting on their hands for the next 18 months they have been doing that for the last two years.

garyble,
Have you no ambition?? I was thinking more on the 70-80 line.......;-)
Seriously, with any other quoted stock, I would take the RNS as being very positive for the next year or so, but this being SEO, nascent could mean any bloody thing!!
As it is SEO, you are of course right, we must wait for hard news that is not open to strange definitions, but I doubt we will get that untill after the event and when the big boys have had their fill at the watering hole.

5p by xmas, and i'll be happy........ ish.

14p by Christmas and I'LL be happy.....ish.

heard about Macdonalds going green on the radio this morning. discussion about bio diesel being used by their lorries as well as other green initiatives like reduced packaging!

what's happened to wrap100 in respect of this. cant believe they have blown this opportunity as well!

Yes, and it also shows how powerful the green lobby is, and the fact that some companies are even spending more (McDonald's have stated that running there vehicles on Bio Diesel will not be cost effective) just to look green and environmentally friendly.
As to Stanelco loosing out, par for the course, if they have.
