DYOR - - - - - - - - - Biom Technologies mid-July 2010 AIM
This is the new resting place for Stanelco, the wonder producer of starch-based food-trays...only they didn't catch on.Over the last 10 years to 2010 the 0.1p shares traded abour 2.5p then shot up to 24p during 2005 with promise of Tray-Trials I understand. Within a year or so, they fell to new depths and finished at 0.2p Of course they were full-list then and some were held in ISA's hoping there would be a big profit...only now these are distressed sales as the Company slunk off to AIM, presumably "...to provide better shareholder-value"
Perhaps someone closer to the Co. can explain why the new name is Biome
....rhymes with Home. Often it is done to remove the previous sp-history.
Could it be..so new investors can bask in ignorance, etc. I'm not aware of any "change" in fortune for SEO, rather the reverse.
In my limited experience, the longer the name of a company the longer you have to wait for any return...Huh . . . . . .
. SEO had been a terrible investment.
DYOR.
Can Biome be any worse...?
EDIT ( 24April2017)- "just woken up" -me not BIOME - sp is 154, but I note about June 2013 there was what looks like a CONsolidation . . do I recall many LT investors were sold-short?... as I believe the (new share) numbers were terrible! . . . Anyone?

Your learning Greek....haha

But will the shareholders ever learn, (it took me far too long).
With a 20% drop and a 22% spread, who in their right mind would buy these!

I have long thought that the RF side of the business is where they should be trading and that they should sell the bioplastics division. Biome has too much competition in bioplastics and is too small to carve out and decent market share. The management however are a complete joke, I'd favour a punt on a 500:1 horse with three legs and half a tail running the national over this board.

McDonald's using compostable plastics at the London Olympics
By Anthony Clark | PRW
Posted July 26, 2012
LONDON (July 26, 7 a.m. ET) -- McDonald’s, which will be running the world's largest fast-food outlet at the Olympic park in Stratford, east London, will be using Novamont’s Mater-Bi bioplastic for its cups, cutlery, straws, lids and containers.

“Many McDonald’s items were already compliant with the EN13432 compostability standards but did not have the certification,” said the company’s environment consultant Helen McFarlane.

“We obtained this by working alongside our suppliers for almost two years, with considerable investment in research and development.”

Mater-Bi will compost with anaerobic digestion, according to Italy’s Novamont, helping make the expected 3,300 metric tons of food and food-related packaging waste that the games will generate easier to handle than if conventional materials are used.

London Olympic and Paralympic Games organizing committee (Locog) has set the objective of 70 percent of the waste produced by the events should go for recycling, re-use or composting.

Novamont operates in the UK, Germany, France, Benelux, Scandinavia, Denmark, US, China, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.

According to an independent environmental agency report, it has been shown that the average normal thin plastic bag has a lower carbon footprint than the average
re-usable bag and does less overall damage to the environment.
If you use such a plastic bag only once, you would have to use a cotton bag 327 times (don't ask me how they worked that out) to achieve the same carbon footprint.
Customers do not tend to keep cotton bags this long, and if they do they become breading grounds for bacteria.
Also in use, cotton bags can leak chemicals whereas plastic bags do not.
It is disposal that causes the big problem for the plastic bag.
END.

Just a thought.
Perhaps some company with a forward looking Bod could develop a plastic bag that is bio-degradable.
Just think what a winner they would have.
After all it would surely be a product that potential customers would be queueing up for.
Surely this would be a 'No Brainer'.

I'm sure that in my distant memory there was such a company!
I wonder what became of it!

From a female monkey to a greekman F Knows (The F could be interpreted as FLIP)!!!! The FLIP could also be underlined. What a load of cods wallop this has turned out to be.

Agreed, its nuts monkey, or should that be ?

Shares Magazine this week highlighting in a positive way BIOM. Am I dreaming?

Kiss of death :-)

can not go down any lower so any upside is a bonus-relatively speaking- hope to see approx 3p/s in my lifetime to breakeven .......

Shares Magazine a joke last week they were upping BIOM today i.e 1 week later they come out with a serious sell call. MUPPETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chuffing great - I must be 99.99% down on these from wonderful Stanelco days, what next - bust or what????

I actully did quite well into the initial Stanelco rally all those years ago, you must have turned up at the party late along with most posters here and got caught out paying a high premium to valuation. Its always a hard lesson, move on and learn from your mistake, no point investing any further energy here. I feel this stock will be delisted before long..

Royston Wild was the author of both articles! Job vacancy coming up at Shares mag?! ;o)

To be fair, he didn't tip BIOME as a buy in the first article.

NO BUT HE WAS UPBEAT ABOUT THEM. BECAUSE OF THAT I BOT ANOTHER 25 MILLION BIOME SHARES -COST ME ANOTHER TENNER.......LOL

Skinflint! ;o)

Blah blah blah.

Prototype Delivery for Stanelco RF Technologies

Biome Technologies is pleased to announce that its Stanelco RF Technologies ("Stanelco RF") division has successfully delivered the first prototype portable welding device to Durapipe UK Ltd as required under the development contract announced on 10 January 2012.

Possible revenue of over £2 mill spread over 3 to 4 years.
Not knocking any sales contract but this on its own won't save Biome on their cash burn!

Hmm. Their wonderful Greenseal machine was a prototype too!
