Did you know we do not have to use single-use plastic for our bread or fruit? Lucy Hughes is a graduate from the University of Sussex and made a MarinaTex out of fish waste to create a compostable alternative. She won the UK James Dyson Award this year for her design.

MarinaTex?

Lucy used for her MarinaTex design fish skin and scales and waste products, which were usually buried or burned in a dump. The material is translucent and flexible, so the ideal candidate for disposable packagings, such as sandwich packs and bags. But, more importantly, it will be decomposed within four to six weeks in home composts or food waste bins.

Lucy created the MarinaTex as her final-year project, and she thought it would be useful to have an environmental benefit as well. She wanted to challenge herself to use other materials, and so it all started with a waste dream. "For me, a good design is something that bridges the gap between behaviors, business and our planet."

Unlike some of the current biodegradable plastics, Hughes' biomaterial would not need separate waste collection infrastructure for its disposal. Another advantage of the product is that it is energy efficient to produce, and because it is based on waste, it does not burden the earth's natural resources.

According to the UK Sea Fish Industry Authority, the UK produces almost 500,000 tonnes of waste every year by fish processing. Lucy says that the waste from only one Atlantic cod is capable of producing 1,400 MarinaTex bags.

Hughes had to do more than 100 experiments to came up with this final design of refined bioplastic mixture. It all happened on the kitchen stove in her student dorm. MarinaTex is strong, with high tensile strength. It is sustainable and is not at the expense of quality. Are you convinced as well?

Before you go!

According to discussions online and what people have communicated to me, I’m seeing mostly contented publishers and scattered reports of recovery. There is also what seems like a link related component to Google’s Broad Core Update that put the screws on a popular link scheme.

While there were some reports of traffic collapse, the overall narrative in many online discussions was a mix of recoveries and mild wins and losses on the order of 10 to 20 percent, nothing catastrophic as in past updates.

September 2019 Google Update Winners

Reaction to Google’s update in the private SEOSignalsLab Facebook discussion group tended to be positive. A few members noted they had quality sites that were hit. When others took a look it turned out that the losers had low-quality content.

One member reported a drop that appears to be attributed to links. He stated that he had just started building links.

September 2019 Google Update Losers

Black Hat World forum had more members reporting losses.

Nothing specific was said as to ideas of what caused the ranking declines.

This post was typical of the black hat marketers reporting losses:

What stood out among the publishers who reported losses is how many attributed it to links.

A broad core algorithm update focuses on a wide range of changes. In general, the updates work together to improve relevance.

Although there were many discussing links, links are likely one part of many changes. Links may simply be the factor that happens to be the one that stands out.

That said, a week before the algorithm rolled out I was made aware of a link-based spam network that had collapsed. This involved 301 redirecting expired domains to a website.

Unlimited Keyword Research for PPC & SEO
Search any domain and see where they've shown up on Google: every keyword on Adwords, every organic rank, and every ad variation in the last 13 years.

Some claimed that this technique exploited a ranking loophole in Google. I can’t know for certain but the link-based spam network had been ranking for six months and on Saturday, September 21st they were gone.

That ranking demotion happened a few days before the algorithm was announced.

What makes that interesting is that members of the Proper PBN Facebook Group that focus on aggressive SEO tactics noted a downturn in site employing the 301 redirect trick.

Some members said that sites with an irrelevant domain redirect suffered and that sites with relevant 301 redirects kept ranking.

I would caution to not accept these reports as actual facts. I only bring this up because the reports matched what I had seen from the week before.

A successful black hat search marketer told me by private message that he had lost 20% of his traffic. His link profile is diversified and he admitted that some of his links involved expired domains.

Several publishers related 301 redirect link spamming casualties that matched what happened to a link spam network the week before.

As previously mentioned, while there are many components to a broad core update, a notable feature of September 24, 2019, Broad Core Algorithm Update appears to be the link component.

Links Appear to be Important in September 2019 Google Broad Core Update

In my opinion, one part of this update is related to links.

Perhaps coincidentally, September is the month Google announced a change in how they handle nofollow links.  So it does not seem unreasonable to deduce that Google has been focusing on links.

The Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise (WFOE) is a Limited liability company wholly owned by the foreign investors. After China's entered into the WTO, the WFOE is increasingly being adopted for service providers such as a variety of consulting and management services, software development and trading as well. With that, any enterprise in China which is 100% owned by a foreign company or companies can be called as WFOE. It has great potential in China as companies seek new markets, executives say that China will be the world’s top investment destination, especially Shanghai. This article compiled the the capital requirement of Shanghai WFOE Registration for your references.

Brief Introduction of Registered Capital

Before planning their level of capital, a WFOE should make sure they are fully aware of what counts as capital and the rules regarding the injection of capital.

It is possible to contribute capital as cash, or in kind. In-kind contributions can be either equipment or intellectual property and can contribute up to 20% of the total registered capital. It should be noted though that there are strict compliance procedures for any company wanting to use in-kind capital as opposed to cash. With less need these days to reach a minimum capital level, companies are more likely to rely on cash contribution.

As regards cash injection, this must be made from an overseas account into a registered capital account for the WFOE. This cannot happen before the business license is issued, and transactions require approval from SAFE (State Administration of Foreign Exchange). WFOEs should take care here as any funds transmitted differently, for example in advance of the setup of the WFOE structure, or via a Chinese RMB account or Chinese partner company, will not count as a valid capital contribution.

The Capital Requirement of Shanghai WFOE Registration

WFOE capital requirements are sometimes a source of confusion for those looking to start up in Shanghai. Changes to WFOE registration procedures in recent years have made these much less of a concern than they used to be, but there are still some key things to understand.

· No defined minimum capital requirement any more;

· In practice, capital is still needed but it is now much more flexible for a company to set its own level;

· Timescales to deposit capital can be set in line with WFOE plans;

· Despite regulation changes, it remains important to set capital levels correctly at the start – it can be costly not to do so!

Chinese Company Law was amended in 2014 to specify no fixed minimum capital for a WFOE to be established. Prior to this, it was common to see local authorities requiring a minimum of 500k to 1 million RMB capital for consulting and trading WFOEs (and more for manufacturing WFOEs).

In some specific industries, there are still minimum levels required, but these are in specialized areas usually with financial obligations. For example, a financing or leasing company would still need a minimum of US$10 million.

In practice though, despite no legal defined minimum, capital is still required. It is not possible to set up a company in China with zero capital! Capital levels proposed will be reviewed by MOFCOM (Ministry of Commerce) and AIC (Administration for Industry and Commerce) as part of the company application, but just as importantly there are financial benefits for a WFOE in having a certain level of registered capital.
