David Rutley MP nominated three products from his constituency.

The Biodegradable Plastic Card, by PCS

"This is a real example of British ingenuity. Rather than taking up to a thousand years to degrade as a normal PVC card would, the PCS card degrades in a matter of months. That is why Coop Danmark came to PCS to supply it with its new loyalty cards. The biodegradable plastic card is a perfect example of a British product at the cutting edge of green manufacturing and exports."

SCOTPatrol, by Astrium

"SCOTPatrol is the next generation naval terminal design to extend satellite communications capabilities to smaller ships, such as Offshore Patrol Vessels, or a larger ship with smaller data requirements. SCOTPatrol is precision manufactured from carbon fibre which gives it a reduced magnetic footprint, exceptional strength to withstand shock, vibration and harsh operating environments, while making it the lightest ever naval satcom terminal of its type. The satcom terminal can act as a beyond-line-of-sight relay for video, multispectral and radar imagery, from intelligence, surveillance and reconaissance assets such as helicopter UAVs. It has been designed to meet the demand from smaller ships and patrol vessels for improved satcom capabilities as these vessels are often deployed in today's naval operations and seek to harness the power of shared situational awareness and networked communication at broadband speeds. The SCOTPatrol was designed and produced by the team at Astrium Service's Secure Satcom Systems based in Poynton."
