Hello Jo

We are the owners of the Trade marked and Patented material Zelfo - as mentioned in your blog article on Zelfo.

Firstly I would like to thank you for running this article and for giving Zelfo a presence on your website.

Zelfo Technology are now concentrating on streamlining the manufacturing aspect of Zelfo and our product emphasis is no longer as shown in your article. From both your and Zelfo Technologys' side I believe it is important that we issue information that is current as it is of no benefit to either side to confuse the market. Therefore as Zelfo Technology are not ready to issue any press text or to show the latest range of Zelfo products, can I please ask that for now you remove all existing materials from your site.

Naturally as and when we are ready to issue any material that is relevant to you we will inform you immediately .

For you information, the microsite www.zelfo-technology.com is now live.

Many thanks for your assistance with this matter.

Hopefully we will hear again from Zelfo in the future.

A kind of plastic made from plants! Here is what they say:

Zelfo is a solid wood-like and mouldable material made from natural fibres, recycled paper or other cellulose raw materials. Zelfo is a strong, light 'plastic from plants' produced by means of a sustainable process.

Sounds like a great alternative to plastic, and from the website's vibe I think they are sound in their environmental priciples.

Zelfo are the manufacturers of the materials, so if you have some amazing design for a chair or whatever they will mould it for you (more like mould 1000 for you...).I look forward to their upcoming products link.
