The Material Resources blog is no longer being updated! However, you can follow me on Twitter, drop in to my Posterous where I occasionally post things and of course check out IOM3's superb new website (which I manage) at www.iom3.org On the latter you'll find dozens of new articles every month by materials, minerals and mining professionals, as well as a host of other essential information on IOM3 services and communities, and improved features including forums and content alerts. Look forward to seeing you there!

Bottoms up - unpackaged products
I turned on the TV on Friday evening to see a short programme about Lush, a chain of cosmetics shops which sells its products unpackaged. Their CEO was talking about how he had been inspired by the way cheese shops stack their produce naked in a counter. This isn't, of course, quite the same thing, as even the best cheese shops do package their cheeses (or at least wrap it in something), and a bar of soap isn't going to go off if you leave it lying around uncovered. But it's still an interesting, if radical, idea, and Lush are apparently now a multi-million-pound business. When looking them up on the web this morning however I was unexpectedly confronted by a row of bottoms - a photo of some Lush staff posing unpackaged to publicise their wrappage policy. Thus, if bottoms are considered non-work-friendly where you are (unlike Lush, where they are evidently obligatory), please don't click this link to the Lush home page!
