I strongly feel that banning none bio-degradable bags is the answer, not charging for plastic bags at supermarkets. I read an article over the weekend that the sale of plastic bags in general, (you know the type, bin liners, garden bags etc) have in fact increased over the last few months, especially in areas that have started changing for carrier bags.
In my area they have gone quite big on recycling something which I feel very strongly.
We can re-cycle, bottles, cans, paper, plastics.
Cans, paper and plastics can be put into the same blue bin for collection, BUT the have to be separated (which is a con because they are all tipped into the same containers then crushed together).
At the re-cycling centers the none re-recyclable material, 'Plastic Bags' are then separated and sent to landfill.
I used to separate these items by using the plastic carrier bags from supermarkets, so none were wasted. Now the only alternative is to purchase plastic bags, bin liners.
So unless the powers that be grab the nettle so to speak we will continue to save on one hand whilst wasting on the other.

Ahhhh !, Stanelco shareholders...how are we today ? have been neglecting thy as of late...bbbbbut...iiiitt's up !, crikey ! get the champagne out !, no hang on better make that cider !, oh but it's too early...make that a coffee....anyway one day there might be some good news here...might just rocket up to 2p then...!

I have every confidence that, by the time the AGM is over, the sp will be up ........................... or down. :o)

They have to reduce expenses otherwise it is going to be curtains soon, if they manage that with some decent sales at long last...who knows ? I might come back in then....what am I saying ? (must slap myself ) !

i agree with KIM, post 26404 , BUT having said that if jam tomorrow def down

Does anyone expect anything other than 'jam tomorrow'?
This is SEO after all.
I think we'd all die of shock or disbelief if they actually announced a sale.

A car boot sale, maybe , tweenie.

Whatever happened to the Greenseal machines they used for the (what seemed like) 10 years of trials - surely they could flog those on e-bay?

I think you have to be an optimist to expect jam tomorrow, next week/year/millennium or ever.
If they don't buck their idea's up we will be lucky if there are any crumbs left, never mind jam. The whole companies in a pickle. The sauce of it all.
Their competitors are now so far ahead, SEO are just playing Ketchup, (yes I know stick to the day job).

Stanelco and Aisapack launch biodegradable tube
Liz Wells, packagingnews.co.uk, 21 April 2008

Stanelco BioPlastics and packaging firm Aisapack have developed a 100% biodegradable flexible tube that they claim is the first of its kind in the industry.

The tube is made from Stanelco's Bioplast resins, which use potato and corn starches.


Aisapack and its sister company Aisa, based in Switzerland, have developed the processing capability to produce the tube on an industrial scale.


The tube is constructed from an extruded sleeve cut-off at the desired length. The moulded shoulder is then directly compression moulded onto the sleeve using Aisa's PTH machine. Decoration can be directly applied onto the finished tube using dry offset printing.


The companies believe the tube, which has good gas barrier properties, is suited to the natural cosmetic, personal care and food sectors.

Stanelco - the share with the low-fat spread.

found this on another site:http://www.pepper.co.uk/html/environmental/paper.php#poly

Yet another competitor I have not come across before.
When bio-degradable products were in their initial stages, SEO were a small fish in a small pond. The longer time passes they appear to still be a small fish, in a pond that is growing bigger by the day. And we all know what tends to happen to small fish.
A strange analogy perhaps, but to me it fits perfectly.

Shareholders would be well advised to visit SEO's manufacturing plant to find out what they are actually making and what happened to all the defunct equipment.

Hi Halifax,

Watched an old episode of Steptoe and Son yesterday, I'm sure I saw an old version of Stanelco's Greanseal wrap machine in the corner of the yard.
Now I know where they got it from and why it didn't work.

I think the Greenseal machine failed, not just because it wasn't fast enough, it wasn't green - from the pictures I saw it was sort of grey with some shiny metal bits, no green bits!

halifax

Have you been to SEOs plant?

PATISHEAR,

I went to the plant last week. I spotted this lying in a field at the back.

It's a Greenseal machine - apparently the final version before they abandoned Greenseal. A great shame to have reached such an advanced stage and then ditch it. This is a later version than the one you saw, Kim, and meant for export to the States. The shiny bits were flogged on ebay and replaced by the green bits because it was felt the yanks would be confused if there were no green bits.

But thats why we're all such enthusiastic investors - SEO have such high standards - this fine example of cutting edge technology just wasn't good enough for them

Ahh, that's a beautiful piece of machinery Oblo, all it needs now is a seal!

Glad so see we are taking SEO seriously for a change.

greekman. PEPPER are'nt a competitor, they use BIOPLAST. Hopefully a new revenue (Believe it when i see it).
:-)
Kim, Found a picture of a 'green seal' unfortunately, it has a pickaxe in it's head- so not really appropriate to post.
