a number of reasons, interest is there but the plastic/waste industry has since plasic was invented ignored the environmental damge along with governments, europe including UK until very recently exported our waste to be dumped into and by China and other asian countries, most of which ends up being dumped back into rivers and seas. The industry is and has been resistent to change and incurring additional cost of treating and managing bio degradable products, realistically Government legislation is required on top of the growing public interest/demands.
There is also a lot of dis information on oxo bio products, some it appears promoted by those resistent to change, however, the damage to the envirnment and public attitudes are now starting to force a legislative approach and no one has come up with a better solution than oxo bio so far, as no other alternatives can be scaled up, have global standards, are commercially viable for both customer and producer or are a envirnmentally compatable. Legislation takes time and it is only in the last year that plastic has hit the headlines, SYM have been ahead of public opinion etc.
The d2p product line is legislation free, covers a multitude of industries/products and looks like it could escalate at a great rate from a standing start and could well be the surprise product range that transforms the company ahead of oxo bio degradable pipe line, however, one large contract and or country legislating in favour of oxo bio products and the sky's the limit. To summarise we are amazingly actually at the start of the new and current demand to solve plastic waste pollution and the sp being at this level appears a very good buy as we can see where it will go if/when either or both oxo bio and D2p products increase in their use ...all indicators suggest they will both grow and on a global basis :-)
