Gloucestershire Echo- March 26, 2008.
When new Stroud company Hub Green had its official launch the ribbon cutting ceremony was a little different.
Dynasty star Emma Samms cut a 'ribbon' made of plastic bottles and tin cans to declare Hub Green officially up and running.
The new, mainly internet-based business, aims to make recycling easier with a wide range of products, such as bins for separating waste and storage units.
"Recycling is getting bigger all the time and will be the main waste disposal method of the future," said Jason Turk, co-founder of the company.
"With legislation saying that all packaging will be recyclable, all the next generation will know is recyclable rubbish."
Emma has given her support to new business. She was happy to cut the ribbon at the business which is based in an environmentally friendly headquarters in Lightpill.
"Hub Green supplies products which are designed to help make recycling easier," said marketing manager Neil Wilson.
"We make a wooden structure to house recycling bins, as well as wheeled bin caddies and recycling hub."
Emma said: "Having children makes you concerned for the future - but also makes you incredibly busy.
"You feel so good when you see the enormous pile of recycling, and waste for the compost heap, next to a tiny bag which is going to landfill."

Big Names Sparkle for Starlight
by Charlotte Cripps, October 2, 2009
PARTY OF THE WEEK
The illustrator Daisy de Villeneuve, the surrealist painter Marie Guerlain, and the painter Natasha Law, Jude's sister, were at a glitzy fund-raiser for the Starlight Children's Foundation at the Saatchi Gallery.
They were just a few of a host of well-known figures from the world of art and design who had come together to run a series of workshops, inspiring children to create artworks, which were exhibited and sold at the Saatchi Gallery to raise money for the charity.
Kate Middleton stole the limelight wearing a full-length grey Issa dress, when she arrived with her boyfriend, Prince William.
The charity, which grants wishes to seriously ill children, was founded by the Dynasty actress Emma Samms 21 years ago.
Even the footballer Sol Campbell turned up as he had donated his football shirt and boots, worn when he played for Portsmouth in the FA Cup Final in 2008, for the after-dinner auction.
Vivienne Westwood's wacky hand-painted rocking horse, with safety pins on the saddle cloth, fetched 10,000, while Bob and Roberta Smith's colourful painting I Believe in Michael Jackson went for 5,500.
Guests also had a chance to see the Saatchi's current show, Abstract America: New Painting and Sculpture, including Guerra de la Paz's sculpture Nine, which is made of found clothes, as well as some garish paintings by a new generation of emerging US artists.

Actress dances for joy
If it wasn't for her hip damage at the age of 15, millions of TV viewers would have been deprived of watching Emma Samms as Fallon in the glitzy Eighties soap Dynasty.
Living her dream: Emma Samms
But despite the fame the show brought her, the shapely star always regretted that injury forced her to give up her place at the Royal Ballet School and her dream of becoming a professional dancer.
Now, some 33 years later, Emma tells me she is reprising her ambition and preparing to appear with Adam Cooper, well-toned star of Matthew Bourne's all-male Swan Lake, at Sadler's Wells
in July.
'It's so exciting to finally use the training I worked on for all those years,' says thrice-married Emma, 48, whose Starlight Children's Foundation is supported by royal girlfriend Kate Middleton.
'How my name came up for the part, I have no idea.'

Cooper to lead cast of Richard Rodgers tribute at
Sadler’s Wells
Actress dances for joy
Living her dream: Emma Samms
in July.
International dance star Adam Cooper is set to choreograph and perform in Shall We Dance, a tribute to late composer Richard Rodgers, which will receive its world premiere at Sadler’s Wells this summer.
Best known for his partnerships with lyricists Oscar Hammerstein II and Lorenz Hart, Rodgers composed more than 900 songs and 40 musicals before his death in 1979.
Shall We Dance has been created to mark the 30th anniversary of the death of the Oscar, Emmy, Grammy and Tony award-winning composer, and features music from the likes of South Pacific, Oklahoma and the King and I.
The show follows the story of one man’s journey around the world, from the Orient to the Wild West, to find true love.
The 40-strong cast of dancers and musicians will be led by Cooper, who in 2003 won the Critics’ Circle Dance award for Best Musical Choreography for On Your Toes, and appeared in 2000 film Billy Elliot as the adult Billy.
Playing alongside Cooper will be Emma Samms, who over the years has appeared in television shows including Dynasty, Holby City and The New Adventures of Superman.
Cooper’s production will open on July 23 and run until August 30.
