Both degradable and bio-degradable break down and as they do both types split it's smaller pieces. They main difference is that the bio type have far less effect on the environment than the degradable. It could be argued that the petroplastic bag does degrade, the problem being the huge time scale. Even plastic bottles degrade over time.

Madpad,

Too far away re the AGM to attend so will look forward to any reports from attendees.

Point taken, Mad and greek - I meant that, aside from compostable, they don't break down completely, even the biodegradable ones. Or at least, not for a long time, greek says.

A week without a post.
Could'nt resist.

Nothing to see here..............move along.

Anyone noticed with all the latest publicity about marine pollution and plastic litter how often the articles mention cigarette butts as a major part of the problem----what happened to the seo solution??

Yes the cig butt problem has been in the media regularly for some months now. I also have wondered what has been the final decision by SEO re this. Have they just disregarded the issue as a total loss or what. Would be nice to know or are SEO still treating us like the proverbial mushroom.

From the 2006 annual report:-

'We continue to develop the starch cigarette filter technology and will provide an update when the filtration
trials have reached a more advanced stage.'

No mention in the 2007 report.

Hi Oblomov,

I do see to remember a later update when they mentioned a previously proposed interest to sell the technology was disbanded but I can't find such a report. Perhaps someone has kept better records than I have and can clarify.

Sounds as though it was stubbed out!

I think plastic bags and cartons etc, must eventuallly decay, as I haven't seen any plastic bags or containers more than a hundred years old.

Heres the latest (early March) on the fag butts.

I'm copying a post from PM1's site - I'm sure he won't mind. On the face of it, a reply from Paul Mines on the subject.

Filters
Hi Paul,

I sent a general enquiry this morning to Head Office asking them if any matter concerning the Filter technology would be appearing in the results due in 10 days time.
I received the following reply from Mr Mines

Jeff,

Thanks for your words of encouragement.

Re the cigarette filter technology, my own view is that will take significant resources and time to validate whether the technology is viable and to bring it to market.

At present we have other priorities and are working more actively in other areas.

Regards

Paul

When the time is right and resources and costs allow then we may see a further development, in the meantime Mr Mines and his hard working team are as he says, "working more actively in other areas" hence the shift in investor confidence these past few days.
May they continue the good work.'

Thanks Oblomov--it's good they haven't given up on it.

I would have expected the share to steadily tick up towards the AGM.
It would appear that either the mm's are holding out or theres just no confidence left even by the day traders.
Hopefully will be at the AGM subject to missus letting me off lease unsupervised.
:-)

Speaking of the AGM - I'll be there. This is a picture of me at last years so if anyone sees me say hello.

OB,

Did you need the straight jacket prior to the AGM opening or was it required after you lost your rag at the Management.

I thought it was standard shareholder issue, greek. Haven't you got one?

Is that your own hair!!!!


hehehehehehehee

It certainly is - I bought it with my own money!

The problem is the standard issue straight jacket from Stanelco had straps that were made of some sort of new plastic, so guess what happened.
The one I bought privately has been customized somewhat for special nights in with the wife, but I wont go into that.
But seriously, I am looking forward to the AGM reports from those attending, as at 200 plus miles away from the venue it won't be worth me attending.

Looks more like David Cameron trying to fight his way out of a plastic bag!

re agm, cant see your logic there greekman.Cheers.
