    No mention of Stanelco PLC ????

    London Stock Exchange, ticker SEO
    Stanelco manufactures and sells starch-based bioplastic
    Stanelco are on the WalMart Scorecard and are already selling Bioplastic to suppliers of Wal-Mart
    Stanelco sell Bioplastic to Indaco Manufacturing of Canada who make compostable bags with it, amongst many other clients globally
    Stanelco have distributors(Agents) in Australia/N.Z(BioPak) and Israel(Isracaps), both see huge potential for the Stanelco Bioplastics, and are working with major buyers to get deals in the near term
    Stanelco are one of the top players in the Bioplastics industry
    Biotec their German subsidiary has been manufacturing Bioplastic for over 10 years, and has well over 200 Patents, including one just published that is amazing
    Stanelco's partner in Bioplastics is Groupe Sphere of France, they are working on changing their 150,000 tonnes of perto-plastic to Bioplastic withing the next year, and have a target of 400,000 tonnes in or before 2010. Sphere bought a starch factory in France, and have 60% of a co-operative with the potato farmers to supply it, they are capped at 63,000 tonnes of starch per annum. enough to make 187,500 tonnes of Bioplastic. Sphere announced they will invest €20m in building another Bioplastics factory and laboratory next to their starch works in France.
    The group are working on many new products for new areas of the Bioplastics market, these are expected to appear next year.
    The manufacturing facility has a nameplate capacity (based on filling its 500 tonne silo daily) of some 180,000 tonnes, more than Natureworks and a load more than Metabolix and Cereplast put together.
    Stanelco are keeping a low profile as the former management were not good at running the company, hence the share price huge spike in 2005/2006, but costs have been cut and Stanelco ar a whisker away from an operational profit, they will definately be the first listed Bioplastics company to make a profit.

  • Eye on UFP Technologies: Consider Biodegradable Packaging  [View article]
    Check out a competitior of Metabolix, one with a huge head start and a big collection of Biodegradables, including the worlds only HIGH-BARRIER Bioplastic called Starpol, a biodegradable food wrap to replace waxed paper, a method of using radio waves to make foamed starch food trays and fast food boxes, in a fraction of the time it takes using the current heat or steam methods, a way of sealing food packaging in trays, bags, or flat packs using radio waves it gives a near 100% seal rate, well above the 'old' heat seal method, and it seals through contamination like oil water and even food particles, then there's a family of highly protective impact resistant mailers that are recyclable(no glue!) biodegradable and compostable, and lots of other products.

    This company is just moving from R&D to commercialisation, they have a 50% controlling share in their bioplastics factory, the other half is owned by Europe's no.1 and the worlds No.4 plastic bag manufactiurer, they plan to change all their plastic bags to starch based bags withing 2 years, and both companies share the profit from the factory.

    Check them out as they are way ahead of Metabolix, they are also on the Wal-Mart Packaging Scorecard, and in the Wal-Mart Sustainable Value Networks
