Just seen something on the news about the Co-op in Humberside and Lincolnshire trialling the first fully compostable plastic bags. Anyone know the supplier?

Wrong again.
A good question is, 'Is it biodegradable.'

post 25939.
There was a rumour then that the Co-op were signing.
Wonder if the rumour had basis, or if it was typical misinformation on this share.

Meat on the bones;
The stores involved in the trial are offering either a bag for life, a cotton free trade bag or a "home compostible" bag.
I think they are trying to find out what the customer actually wants, but they refer to it as home compostible, which narrows it down a bit.
This was announced on 06/03, so the SP rising today makes it look like the first rise was rumour and this one is some people taking this as confirmation.
I would urge everyone (not that they need urging) to ignore rumours on SEO, because history teaches us they are usually unfounded.

GMTV shown the Co-op now using Bio-bags for their customers.
Since British company, SEO must be suppliering these bags.
We will find out this Friday at the Results

Jonk1,
I'd hazard a guess the supplier is Symphony Plastics
They have colaborated with the Co-Op in the past on a similar product - details here:-

Symphony's site here:-

SEO do have other competitors with products conforming to EN 13432 and the following company seem to be big players with distributors in the UK

The Master,
Did the GMTV article specifically say they were supplied by a British company ?
And are you marrying this to the curious line in the recent RNS that stated SEO was the only british company supplying such products?
Or am I looking at it too closely with rose tinted magnifying glasses?
Alan

Alan,
'are you marrying this to the curious line in the recent RNS that stated SEO was the only british company supplying such products?'
I don't now believe that statement put out by SEO to be correct, having looked at what is available. Both Symphony and Novamont (Materbi) appear to have the same product and it is available in the UK.
Have we reverted to the SEO Ministry of Misinformation?
Confused of Berkshire.

Playing at semantics, Oblo.
A product available in the UK does not mean the same as either a UK company, or manufactures in the UK. After all, a Nissan made in Sunderland is hardly a UK company, and though it is arguably manufactured in the UK, one would never say it was a UK product.
This is why I was asking about what GMTV said exactly.
