Comment on Plastic Bags by Mike

Mike — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 21:19:21 +0000

If plastic were oxo-biodegradable there would be very little plastic waste floating in the ocean

Ordinary or recycled plastic will lie or float around in the environment for decades, but it can now be made oxo-biodegradable.

This is done by including d2w additive (see http://www.biodeg.org) which makes it degrade, then biodegrade, on land or at sea, in the light or the dark, in heat or cold, in whatever timescale is required, leaving NO fragments NO methane and NO harmful residues. Oxo-bio can be tested according to American Standard 6954, and is certified safe for food-contact. It is made from a by-product of oil refining which used to be wasted, so nobody is importing extra oil to make it. It can be recycled, and made from recyclate, and there is little or no additional cost.

“Compostable” plastics are too expensive for everyday use, and there are very few composting facilities. Also, as it is difficult to separate compostable plastics from other plastics, many industrial composters do not want plastic of any kind in their feedstock, and it is not suitable for home-composting. Compostable plastics damage the recycling process if they get into in a normal plastic recycling waste stream

Hi M Macmillan, sorry to tell you this but Beanscene has been sold to Fifi and Ally. Do you think that the white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake will taste the same?

Sounds like a good place to go especially for young people. Maybe you could do a piece of research about how Beanscene started because there’s one quite near where I live as well. I wonder how many there are in Scotland.

Hi BattlefieldBlogger. I live just up from this Beanscence and I enjoy going here quite often for a coffee and a chat. It’s definately a place I’d recommend. They make the best ever white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake!

The “Battlefield Rest” used to be a tram station and a newsagent. I think it got it’s name when people used to rest and wait while waiting for the tram. I will put a picture of the old Battlefield Rest for you on a new post.

Comment on THE WHALE OF A TIME by battlefieldblogger

Hi Ewan thanks for your comment. As I was looking through the website I found that The Whale of a Time is suitable for your wee baby girl. They also provide an area for babies and you can have a party for your baby girl’s first birthday. I’ve put the hyperlink in The Whale of a Time section.
