I DO NO YET.

Febrero 18, 2008

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?

Mad Pad,checked out www.dimex.com.ar, are you into trucks? Sorry for ot.

Degradable plastic which 'self destructs' after as little as six months in any environment - land or water - which also emits no methane, even when buried. Is it too good to be true?

Following recent comments about tackling the growing problems of plastic waste, Symphony Environmental wants to point out that there is already a form of plastic which could solve many of the problems people find so worrying.

It is called oxo-biodegradable (oxo-bio) plastic is the answer. It makes plastic bags degrade completely and to a pre-set timespan, from six months onwards.

It also emits no methane even when buried in a landfill. As oxo-bio bags 'self destruct' automatically at the end of their lifespan, they disappear altogether even if they are not collected, either on land or in water, leaving no harmful residues.

However, if collected, they can be recycled. They can also be incinerated for energy recovery. Oxo-bio plastic is not made from crops or potential food stuffs, like some of the biodegradable plastic alternatives, and thus is no threat to the world's food chain.

The technology used to make oxo-bio bags is still comparatively new and many people are not yet fully aware of its capabilities. All too often it is confused with the starch-based (hydro-bio) alternative, which does emit methane, cannot be recycled and cannot be programmed to destruct to a pre-set lifespan.

Symphony Environmental has developed an oxo-bio additive, which when added to most forms of plastic at the manufacturing stage, changes its behaviour and gives it ithe properties of oxo-bio plastic.

Organisations using it in at least one application include Tesco, the Co-op, Walmart, the Science Museum, the Natural History Museum, the World Wildlife Fund and the Soil Association.

The use of oxo-bio plastic bags could dramatically cut the amount of long-term plastic waste left lying around in the streets, or polluting the countryside, our rivers and the sea - perhaps even obviating the need for a ban on them, or for other restrictions.

"Symphony Environmental has developed an oxo-bio additive, which when added to most forms of plastic at the manufacturing stage, changes its behaviour and gives it ithe properties of oxo-bio plastic."

Does this include 'petro based plastics'

I left a chicken in a Biodegradable bag outside on the patio last week last week.

In the morning the chicken and the bag had disappeared!







Same happen with a biogradable bag of sweets when my grandchildren were here.

Must admit the bags seem to have improved!

I think we are being thrown a bit of a red herring here. (Someone got a short on the go?)

The oxo-bio additive is added to 'normal' plastic bag ingredients.
Therefore still the bag is still made from petro plastics. Not too good for a green image.

They might well degrade into small crumbs or less, and quite quickly in the presence of the appropriate agent (sunlight, etc) but not bio-degrade into useful componants of the soil. Again, not too good for a green image.

I personally think this is a great opportunity to short SEO. I've been both long and short in the past but I just think the rise on Friday was overdone. There are a few others like me who are leaving this well alone on www.traderbanter.com.

"I personally think this is a great opportunity to short SEO."

"There are a few others like me who are leaving this well alone on www.traderbanter.com."

Bit of a contradiction.
If you think it's a 'great opportunity to short', then why are you 'leaving it well alone'.

Liamom

Fridays rise was minuscule in the overall scheme of things SEO has a very small M/Cap sp, rumours alone would push this well over the 1p and real orders you are looking at a multi bagger from here with orders I will easy see my 4p average back.

Research Page Up Dated.

XSTEFFX,

You state in one of your posts......Degradable plastic which 'self destructs' after as little as six months in any environment - land or water - which also emits no methane, even when buried. Is it too good to be true.

About 2 years ago I received a bio-degradable bag from (I think it was TESCO or ASDA but as it's so long ago I can't remember). I used it by mistake to keep dust/dirt off an object in my garage. After about 6 months I went to use the item and on touching the bag it disintegrated into small dust like particles. I then tried an experiment with another similar bag I had kept in a draw which presumably due to being out of the light had only gone sightly particles, IE broken into several thin bits, these particles I put outside for a few days. Within a week this bag had almost disintegrated into a powder.
I reported my finding on this thread stating that it looked as if this was he way forward. There were several replies of similar experience. At that time I also thought that SEO were onto a sure winner with their product that was of similar properties (it could have been one of SEO's bags that they had out on trial). I also stated at that time that SEO problems were 99% management.
Since that time I have never heard any follow up to the product I had used. Why I know not, but it does show that no matter what the doubters say (re nothing better that the status quo) there has been and is a better alternative out there.
Whether these products would break down into something completely inert, I have no idea.
