A double cross is no fluke!!!!
It featured in the articles of association for the previous board.

Target for today for stay above that 1p.

I'm not aware of any business this company is a major force "in" - the sp tells it all. No Government meddling will resurect this polly - It is a dead parrot.

The recent sp- flurry was then and seems still to be no more than opportunistic crowing. Where is the supporting RNS telling us there is an order? This style of Reporting wastes the real purpose of the news service - and directors that attempt to misuse (can I say that?) their position shopuld be fined 10k every first time, double that next and so on. It must be investigated.
Grr.

no tax on bags this year.
legislation in 2009.
I can almost taste that 'Jam tomorrow'...........again.
:-)

WHAT Happened ??????????? Was there a Budget

Seems I will be bringing my bottle of 55p dearer scotch home in an ordinary plastic bag for which I will have paid 5p (or more) :0(

Is it just me or does every politician look strange.
Is it a pre requisite to do the job?

Whilst labour wins hands down on the wierd looking factor, I think the front bench of the tories wins, re the 'He's got a face you just want to punch' vote.

Still with a very very subsidised bar at the H.O. Parliament (have enjoyed a few cheap rounds-pleasant view of Thames), I doubt the extra duties will have any effect on the number of pissed politicians on the northern/piccadilly lines late at night.
;-)

With one exception, tweenie. Charles Kennedy - how will he manage the booze increases on a mere MP's salary? It'll cost him tens of thousands of pounds extra.

The SP makes it look like the budget was a disappointment to someone.

Why did the SP hit 1p then tumble? No great number of sales - many more buys than sells today. How can it do that?

Well it's got 26083 posts so it can't be that BAD !!!!


The more noise, the less valuable the share.

Day's range 82 - 104 ! Very strange. Alot of profit taking?

zscrooge
It was the thread not the share The stranger in the camp was on about who now seems to have disappeared.

Today the sp behaved as if it was expecting something from the budget...that's why it went up and then down !

!!

And the Ramper of the year award goes to ...

Patisear...you've just changed your post...and dear oh dear...it's dived !

(Sphere biodegradable plastic bags are supplied by the Sphere Group to major supermarket chains throughout Europe, including Tesco and Carrefour)

PRESS RELEASE 12.03.2008




SPHERE IS DELIGHTED TO SEE INCREASED INTEREST IN BIOPLASTICS THROUGHOUT EUROPE



Sphere SA, Europes leading manufacturer of household wraps and packaging is delighted to see increased interest in bioplastics throughout Europe. The Sphere Group had turnover of 319 million euros in 2007 and has major market positions in both France and the United Kingdom (each country represents more than 10% of Group sales).

During the last few years, the Sphere Group has worked to achieve a unique position in bioplastics by providing a fully integrated, environmental friendly aproach, starting with ordinary potatoes grown in the countryside and ending up with consumer goods such as refuse bags, bin liners and carrier bags. Currently, biodegradable plastic bags are supplied by the Sphere Group to major supermarket chains throughout Europe, including Tesco and Carrefour.

To do this, the Sphere Group carries out a series of extraction, blending, compounding, extrusion and conversion processes : firstly starch is extracted from the potatoes and then blended and compounded into bioplastic resin; using this resin as a substitute for traditional polyethylene resin, the Sphere Group then blows it into plastic film by an extrusion process and finally converts the film into plastic bags, designed to meet customer specifications in terms of size, colour, tie handle, printing and presentation requirements.



Biodegradable plastic bags are manufactured and marketed by the Sphere Group through the following supply chain:
Potato starch is made at the Groups majority owned subsidiary, Fulerie Haussimont, in Northern France;
This and other key raw materials, such as copolyesters, making up the vast majority of components required, are then sold on by the Sphere Group to its 50% owned German affiliate Biotec Gmbh;
Biotec Gmbh is a joint venture with UK based Stanelco plc, whose business activities include radio frequency welding and modified atmosphere packaging;
Biotec Gmbh blends and compounds starch, copolyesters and other materials into a variety of grades of bioplastic resin and sells these on to Spheres distribution and sales company, Biotec Distribution, 100 pct owned by Sphere SA and based in Paris;
Biotec Distribution sells bioplastic resin not only to other companies in the Sphere Group, but also to other plastic manufacturers around Europe;
Using this resin, the Sphere Group manufactures biodegradable carrier bags, bin liners and refuse bags, packaged as attractive consumer goods, at its factories in France, the UK, Spain, Holland and the Czech Republic;
Finally these finished consumer goods are sold to supermarket chains across Europe, by Sphere wholly owned subsidiaries, that have a long history of managing client relationships with this customer base and delivering one stop solutions for household wraps and packaging, covering not only their needs in terms of logistics and timely deliveries, but also product category management across the entire range.

The bioplastic resin made by Biotec Gmbh and supplied to the Sphere Group is used to manufacture bags made with approximately 40 % of sustainable renewable materials. The Sphere Group is working hard to increase this content over time.
Currently and throughout 2007, the vast majority of bioplastic resin made by Biotec Gmbh is sold to the Sphere Group.
Key bioplastic resin grades sold by Biotec Gmbh include Bioplast 106GF and Bioplast 2189GS. Both of these comply with European norm EN 13432 for biodegradability which means that they are rapidly (usually in about 90 days, but varying according to thickness) decomposed by bacteria.


John Persenda, Spheres CEO and Chairman said:

We are delighted to see so much increased interest in biodegradable bags and film from our retail customers, who have a clear appetite for eco-friendly products. The Sphere Group is working hard to try to reduce the significant price differential between traditional plastics and bioplastics; which continues to act as a brake on volumes at the current time. We hope that discussions throughout Europe will lead in due course to regulatory measures that open the door to achieving economies of scale. As the only fully integrated player with a strong franchise in plastic bags and film, the Sphere Group looks forward to bringing benefits to the environment, its customers and staff, leveraging off its unique position in bioplastics. There is much to do, but Sphere is determined to build on its market leading position.
