Stanelco Signs Supply Agreement with NatureWorks(R) LLC
Friday September 23, 12:01 am ET
NatureWorks PLA Largest Component of Stanelco's Starpol 2000 Materials


ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 23, 2005--Stanelco, the UK-based radio frequency (RF) applications group, has entered into a supply agreement with NatureWorks LLC, Minnetonka, MN, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cargill Inc. The agreement covers the supply of NatureWorks PLA, (Polylactide, a starch derivative), which is the largest component of Stanelco's recently announced Starpol 2000(TM) range of biodegradable, compostable plastic materials

This relationship will materially assist commercialization of Starpol 2000 into Stanelco's target application segments. It is planned that a minimum of 15,000 tons of Starpol 2000 will be produced and sold within the next 12 months.

Starpol 2000 is available in a range of blends that can be formed into sheet material for products such as short shelf-life food trays, modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) trays and blown films for a diverse range of products including carrier bags, compost bags, waste bags and agricultural films.

"This is a landmark agreement that further demonstrates the materials created by Biotec are both ground breaking and commercial. We have been actively carrying out pre-production runs of the material with a number of major corporations in both Europe and North America. Starpol 2000 has demonstrated a functionality far beyond any other current biodegradable alternative and at an overall cost that is competitive with the existing plastics used in our target market, namely food packaging," said Howard White, president of Stanelco Inc. and Stanelco PLC group managing director.

"Just as importantly, the material is also easily sealable with our GREENSEAL(TM) technology project which continues to progress well and will enable us to offer a complete biodegradable, environmentally responsible packaging solution at a competitive cost," said White.

Snehal Desai, NatureWorks LLC commercial vice president said, "We are delighted with the diversity, functionality and competitiveness of the Starpol 2000 range of products and believe the marketplace will welcome this broad extension of offerings of NatureWorks PLA based materials."

Morning all - looks like seo is gathering pace - just like Rita.

I hope she does not blow herself out

Morning all. Paul, help educate me here. Why does the late release of the statement you just posted make you think something big is brewing? No bashing or personal abuse or questioning of peoples motives in this question, just a desire to understand!

Alan Hi,

Why else release a statement, based on a deal that took place nearly a month ago ?

http://www.companyannouncements.net/cgi-bin/articles/200508300700595756Q.html


If no news surrounding this deal follows soon, won't it make this announcement look a bit daft ?

Cheers,
PM

Must confess that I tend to agree with Paul on this one - almost like they are preparing the ground for a PR blitz over the next couple of weeks.

Baza

Morning all,

Yes it looks like they're getting the US totally up to speed. Like painting a picture.

Biscuit

Point taken Paul.
I just noticed the time on the release as one minute past midnight. Now that even I would consider significant. I can't quite work the significance out, but it would suggest to me that something had to be released at a specific date or time after this release or its timing was aimed at the eastern markets?
Any thoughts?
Alan

I would rather have all operations gearing up and then ready to go than floods of orders now and loss of face in the event of being unable to supply. Off topic an analogy of this was ASOS when last Christmas they had all the shops wanting their goods but the warehouses and suppliers failed.

Baza/Alan/Biscuit/Greyhound et al Hi,

Looks to me like my post last night is where it's all heading. a couple of weeks ago I was e-mailed the Wal-Mart announcement, and it was suggested I might like to put it on my website, and from this I now think this is a build up to the Packaging Strategies' Sustainable Packaging Forum where Wal-Mart will be presenting it's plans, and I believe these plans will include Greenseal and Starpol 2000, and would be accompanied by an agreement with Stanelco on that day.

As the interview states quite clearly, Wal-Mart want to use the power of the press to blitz the Wal-Mart bashers, yes they do want to reduce costs by reducing packaging, but they want to use the environmental benefits to their advantage, but if they announce then Stanelco will have to announce too, due to market regulation.

As we know very well, time will tell, but I hope I can call this phase of Stanelco development right :)

Cheers,
PM

====================================

From last night, by Moi ....

It's all coming together, Greenseal, Starpol .... and Wal-Mart !

WAL-MART TO ANNOUNCE SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVES AT THE SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING FORUM

August 25, 2005

Wal-Mart is officially on board. Hold on, packaging industry.

The world's largest retailer and conductor of the global supply chain train will unveil and publicly outline for the first time its sustainable packaging initiatives at Packaging Strategies' Sustainable Packaging Forum, Oct. 17-19, 2005, in Philadelphia.http://www.packstrat.com/

----------------------------------------------------------------

What really happens when you get large is you have to be much better to get the advantages that come with being large. That is where something like (environmental) sustainability is a wonderful opportunity because our footprint is so large. As we do the right thing we have an impact across so many industries, so many countries. And we are finding tremendous cost savings while doing better things for the environment.

Packaging is one of the simple ones, and shame on us for not having done it earlier. We just changed the packaging on 16 private-label toys. It saved 230 containers coming from overseas, which is equal to so many barrels of oil, so many trees, and all the rest of that -- and we didn't change any of the product inside. It saved more than $1 million in transportation costs (during the spring).

I think we are going to find a lot of low-hanging fruit(PM1 - 'as howard would say - LOL !) in that area. In our energy management of our stores we have a number of things we're doing that we will be talking about publicly over the next month or two.

Well I tell you what, if this Wal-mart announcement does happen at this forum, it will be massive. Much better than just a RNS. Really excited about this.... The rumblings seem afoot and this press release would be perfect timing laying the foundations for a real biggy.

Got that rush like the run up from 5p on the ASDA move. These weeks are gonna be interesting. Expect more communication I reckon from SEO. They've left the market a bit hungry for news-lets hope they feed us well! :)

Can I wait for 4 weeks ????

http://www.moneyam.com/InvestorsRoom/posts.php?tid=7681#lastread

Sounds promising PM1, i may soon return to the SEO fold. (had reduced to 25% of original holding) And 4 weeks gives me ample time to free up the funds. ;o)

Level 2 showing solid support on the bid at 18p with 5:1 and 425k. On offer at 18.25 (14k) and 18.5 (13k)

Morning All

Lets hope that all those positive vibes above turn out to be the start of something big.

I know some of you read and post on FYB; are any of you also having problem opening any pages in the Live Forums? I can't get into SEO's or PET's board pages.

The oily one

Oily - yes, it's not working on FYB

Hi All,

I just Bought another 8,500 at 18.25p on my account for a friend(they already have 11,500 held in my account !) and another friend joined us yesterday, they opened and account with IWeb(my suggestion) and bought 800 worth, looking to add soon.

Cheers,
PM

morning all. there is another interpretation. maybe this old news business wire release was simply because there is no new news. it is possible that wal-mart will be taking up starpol and greenseal, but i canot see that happening without it's sub, asda, taking on greenseal. i wont be getting carried away on a tide of speculation about walmart and i urge others not to without more greenseal orders in the uk.
