Bioplastics In the Bag?
By healthyinsites
By Thomas Kostigen, MarketWatch
July 31 SANTA MONICA, Calif. (MarketWatch)

Want to profit off the environment in a good way? Invest in bioplastics. At least that can be the take away from new data from the European Bioplastics Association. In a new report it says a million tons of bioplastics will replace traditional petroleum-based plastic products by 2011.

Combine that with the antiplastics movement raging around the world and you have the makings for another product to step in and take plastics place.

One of the most prevalent chemicals used in plastics is petroleum. When the word plastics was famously uttered in the film The Graduate, oil was trading at just over $2 per barrel. Obviously now the economics have changed.

Moreover, plastics dont biodegrade for hundreds of years; they just get smaller and smaller. With billions and billion of pounds of plastics produced per year, the waste problem adds up. For example, if we just refilled one of the 80 or so million plastic water bottles that we use in the United States per day, wed save a billion pounds of plastics from entering landfills per year.

China is attacking the plastics problem by phasing out free plastic bags. Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the Philippines, Taiwan and the United Kingdom also have plans to eliminate them. California is trying. Whole Foods already eliminated plastic bags as an option at the checkout counter last Earth Day.

With more than one trillion plastic bags produced annually the opportunity for a replacement is huge.

London-based Climate Change Corp. reports: The price of plastic resins like polypropylene (widely used in textiles, and eating and drinking utensils) has risen as much as 45%, according to the Plastics Exchange in Chicago. This is driving demand for renewable alternatives to fossil-based plastics, promising to deliver the critical mass to the bioplastics market that, until now, has been missing.

Adding to the higher costs of plastics are new regulations. The European Commission Landfill Directive requires a diversion of 65% of organic waste away from landfills between now and 2016. Domestically, towns and states are taking up the issue. For example, the Los Angeles City Council has voted to ban plastic bags by 2010 citywide if the state fails to impose a 25-cent surcharge on shoppers who request plastic over paper at the checkout counter.

Without a trace
Climate Change Corp. notes, that, the idea behind bioplastic is that you could fill up a bioplastic bag with food waste and throw other bioplastic products like drinks bottles, disposable plates and cutlery in a composter and within three months in theory there would be no trace.

Cool
Biodegradable plastics are made largely from dairy and corn. Whereas synthetic plastics can remain in landfills for hundreds of years, biodegradable plastics can break down and degrade in as little as 90 days.

The plastics industry is one of the largest manufacturing industries in the U.S., accounting for about $350 billion in goods alone, according to the trade group the Society of Plastics Industry. So it isnt taking these jabs lying down. It has launched a Web site, www.savetheplasticbag.com, that is chock full of pro-plastics information. Its main rebuttal to all the plastics charges is that plastics industry provides jobs. Nix plastic bags, lose jobs.

85% of plastic bags used in the United States are manufactured in the United States. Taxing or banning plastic carryout bags will result in the direct loss of approximately 4,000 American jobs. In addition, there will be thousands of resin and distribution company job losses. Destroying an American manufacturing industry based on myths and misinformation is irresponsible, absurd, and tragic, it blasts across its home page.

Clearly the plastics industry is concerned about its future.

As petroleum prices rise and alternatives gain acceptance there will be a wide opening for manufacturers to produce sustainable and biodegradable products. You could even say if the trend keeps up, bioplastics technology has it in the bag.

Production of just one million tonnes of bioplastic would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by FOUR millions tonnes a year, this is why bioplastics are booming, and its why we should all change to bioplastics wherever it is practical to do so. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions will help reverse the climate change that is responsible for many crop failures, thus increasing the amount of food available in the world.

Forget degradable and oxo-degradable plastics, they are made from ordinary high CO2 generating plastic, the fact they might biodegrade is irrelevant as they have already done their damage by then, by increasing CO2 levels by a factor of at least double their own weight.

Bioplastics use as little as 25% of the energy used in making plastic.

Many bioplastics are compostable at home, the best ones for this are potato starch and blends of potato and corn starch, these are available from Stanelco in the UK, http://www.stanelcoplc.com

Waste and carrier bags made in the UK from this Bioplastic are available from Comp-Bio Products at http://www.comp-bio.co.uk or made in Canada by Indaco Manufacturing at http://www.indaco.ca or in several EU countries by Sphere S.A at http://www.sphere.eu or Australia/N.Z via BioPak at http://www.biopak.com.au or in the Middle East via Isracaps at http://www.isracaps.com

Read the FAQ on biopastics, these are the facts not the hype, rumour, or old wives tales about Bioplastic

You can invest in Stanelco PLC, they are listed on the London Stock Exchange, ticker SEO (or LSE:SEO)

Itll take a while before bioplastics can rival petrol-based plastics in price but its a growing industry and a lot of stones remained unturned

ive just invested in Stanelco..the share price is only an incredible 0.4p for such a tremendous growth productno brainer 100 non plastic bagger in 3 years!

U.S. bioplastics market to top $10 billion by 2020
Cereplast, Inc., a leading manufacturer of proprietary bio-based, sustainable plastics, announced today that it expects the U.S. bioplastics market to top $10 billion in sales by 2020. As of 2007, the U.S. bio-plastics market accounted for approximately $1 billion in sales. Some estimates point to bio-plastics capturing up to 30% of the total plastics market within ten years.

New Green initiatives by the Obama administration and increasing consumer demand for compostable and renewable plastics are pushing the market

American consumers are pushing major manufacturers and retailers to make the switch to environmentally conscious solutions. Many of the largest retailers have already made in-roads with programs designed to adopt alternative packaging, including Wal-Mart and Coca-Cola, added Mr. Scheer [Founder and CEO of Cereplast].

According to a study by Helmut Kaiser Consultancy 2006, by 2025 Europe will account for 31%, The U.S. 28% and Asia 32% of the total market for bioplastics. New applications and innovations in the automotive and electronics industries are helping fuel the boom; however, consumer packaging still garners the most attention.

stil very quiet on here...doesnt make sense after so much activity...do the elohim boys want it off the radar so they can feast on it all to themselves this saturnalia?

IMHO This thread is quiet as most punters know a dud when they see one, rather like a Bonfire Night squib left in the gutter, during a downpour.
....Lots of excitement as father buys his children a selection of fireworks in the local shop, yet a few days later the excitement and value has gone...bit like SEO -

Hangon,

A good summing up. Nothing to add.

loserrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs!

Not until the fat lady sings...Maestro

Just had to pinch this from the ADVFN thread, giving credit to lWaxf12,

I think regarding the saga that is developing.

Not sure it's positive. After all it does say "Bioplastics company at the forefront of biodegradable plastic development, needing to enhance negative corporate profile amongst shareholders" Now that word "enhance" means "To make greater, as in value, beauty, or effectiveness; augment". So they are trying to make greater the negative corporate profile ie. make things even more negative. Anyway, as soon as the hamster gets his feet under the desk he will sort out this message. For your amusement ... no actors were harmed in the following reconstruction of events which may be entirely fictional.

Ring ring
"Hello, reception speaking"
"Do you do marketing and PR stuff?"
"Yes"
"This is Stanelco here. We do stuff in a mega growth market. It's hush hush. Are you any good at marketing and PR?"
"Me? No!"
"Excellent. How much do you charge?"
"Err, this is reception"
"Not a problem. Knock something up for us and send us your invoice. Something catchy that we can put out on ITV Saturday night during X-Factor"
"Err, shall I transfer you to ..."
"No need. Thank you"
Click

END.

I think that post does 'say it all'.
I have not trusted SEO since the days of Howard White and co.

NOTE... The spread is now an unbelievable 20% plus. Never seen it this high, What a rip off.

Regarding the developing saga.

This share has been called a dog many times.
As we all know, there is a saying, 'Let sleeping dogs lie'.

Meaning....If someone is told to let sleeping dogs lie, it means that they shouldn't disturb a situation as it would result in trouble or complications

Another meaning, perhaps suites SEO better....'lie' (also called prevarication) is a type of deception in the form of an untruthful statement, especially with the intention to deceive others, ...

Says it all.

Still going down.

gm
the only thing that doesn't lie is price. follow price and follow truth.not always easy though.

I think that they ought to sell stanelco shorts for christmas....out now in the shops with a little red ribbon around the paper certificate as such.....oh ! how nice of you...you shouldn't have....reply :...I know, but I have...further reply : I shall treasure this all 2010.... it's getting round to the season of SEO jokes....next thing you'll get christmas crackers with Stanelco jokes....or the book of SEO jokes alongside the dusty old Skoda book .....

this changes everything...if the whole climate change is one gigantic fraud which i think it is then all these biotec firms are dead and buried..including stanelco...so may sell out next week

Down another 14%.
If only the shares went back to the dizzy heights of a true penny share.

They might hit one - that is 0.1p

I haven't looked in at this thread for a year or so - surprised they haven't gone under. Can anyone bring me up to date? Whats their latest wonder product thats poised to change the world? Have they built th two procssing plants in the US yet?

RNS out.

The Company has observed the recent movement in its share price and knows of no reason for the fall.

Well I can think of several. Most of them to do with the management (or lack of).

Pathetic.

SEO is third on the leader board of risers, up 21.88% to .39p.

Whoopee. Cart wheels round the room. Goalmouth type celebrations.

Forget the huge bonuses to the bankers, I think the SEO board should get what they deserve.

OK, yes I do believe I have truly lost it.

Must go now, some nice men in white coats have just knocked on the door.

But seriously, can't see the point in posting anymore until something big happens either way.
