"A tip of the hat to industrial group Stanleco for an inspired bit of bandwagon jumping. The current anti-plastic bag campaigns have prompted the company to puff itself as "the only bioplastics manufacturer headquartered in the UK". Quite why this needed to be a regulatory news announcement is unclear, but it seems to have worked. Stanleco is up 34% to - wait for it - 0.35p."

Thanks for the explanation, BAYLIS, but I didn't understand it first time ;-)

BAYLIS
More than one line is too much for my brain at the moment. (T'was a good night at t'local tonight)
I will read tomorrow.
Thanks.

Thanks BAYLIS - cant decide whether to read your post or War and Peace. I think I'll go for the latter, as I've limited time!

You on the marching powder again Relaxes?Whats this about lines and staying up well into the night!On a more seroius note isn't this ripe for a takeover now before the price heads North?

"Ban on plastic bags",shouldn't that read ban on "petroplastic" bags to differentiate from "bioplastic" bags.Just been to the farmers market here in Cork and got me vedge in a degradable plastic bags.Arn't they the ones that just break up into small pieces that then last forever?They can also be recycled{petroplastics} so I cant really see the point.Another huge issue here is that allthough plastic bag usage has dropped 90%since the introduction of the bag tax,the local authorities now charge by weight for domestic refuse collection so many people prefer to chuck their rubbish by the roadside so the litter problem is on the increase..so back to the drawing board.

Its the old story Pad, you cant squeeze jelly to contain it.

Degradable = breaks down into lots of little bits of original material.
Bio-degradable = breaks down into earth/soil componants.
(I think)

Just been into the garden to dig up a"mater bi"bag I buried about 18 months ago and it has tatally vanished.These were the ones Sainsburys were selling organic apples in ,the bags being made by Novamont if my memory is right so yes Tony you are right.My other half thinks I've lost it totally when I tried to explain what I was doing looking for a buried plastic bag.And yes I do have a life!!!!

Emulando las prticas de otras cadenas internacionales de supermercados, Supermaxi y Megamaxi usar desde este a fundas plticas biodegradables para el empaque de las compras de sus clientes.

Con cerca de 200 mil visitas diarias en sus establecimientos, Supermercados La Favorita optpor esta alternativa con el objetivo de reducir la contaminaci del ambiente.

A diferencia de las fundas plticas comunes, las bolsas ecolicas sufren una total biodegradaci al exponerse a los rayos ultravioletas, el calor y la fricci. El residuo se reintegra, seg la compaa, a la tierra sin dejar ticos.

Usadas por cadenas como Wallmart de Argentina, ito de Colombia, Tesco de Inglaterra, las biodegradables est en capacidad de trasladar el mismo peso que una funda com y no alteran los alimentos.

Tonyrelaxes see Baylis's post above 25766,remember "our meet" and the interest in my business in Argentina,am I dreaming or could there be a connection with wallmart there?

Babelfish translation -

Emulating the practices of other international chains of supermarkets, Supermaxi and Megamaxi they will use from this year biodegradable plastic covers for the packing of the purchases of its clients. With near 200 thousand daily visits in its establishments, Supermarkets the Favorite decided on this alternative with the objective to reduce the contamination of the atmosphere. Unlike the common plastic covers, the bags ` ecolicas' undergo a total biodegradaci when exposing itself to ultra-violet rayses, the heat and the friction. The remainder returns, according to the company, to the Earth without leaving toxics. Used by chains like Wallmart of Argentina, Success of Colombia, Tesco of England, the biodegradable ones are in capacity to transfer the same weight that a common cover and the foods do not alter.

But it does not look like Baylis's bags are made from starch as this would have been a great 'green' point. So presumably they are petro plastics as they do not bio-degrade in the accepted sence - they need sun light, not earth borne microbes. It "returns to the Earth" - they don't say it becomes an active part of the earth again, so might effictively be landfill in little inert pieces!!

Tony sent it to Argentina for translation .If any of you want to see our operation down there the site is ..dimex.com.ar..sleep well.

Bayliss where did you find that article?Thanks

One thing is very clear.
Worldwide there is a push away from the plastic wrappings we are used to.
The question now becomes thus; Are SEO making any business from this?
Whether they manufacture or license manufacture of any of the replacement plastic articles is one point. The other is whether they have any business interests in the production of the raw materials needed.
I will not be able to make the AGM, but that is the point I would be seeking clarification on. After all, the push has just started and any company in now stands to make huge headway and growth as it rolls on.
The cynical part of me says SEO couldn't sell a prime steak to a starving man, but then I wonder what SPhere are up to. After all, they were mentioned in the RNS and they have upped capacity.
Interesting times again????

"whether they have any business interests in the production of the raw materials needed"

You mean turning the staff car park into a potato patch, and issuing wellies?
