Stanelco plc ("the Company") 
 
 
Stanelco re-brands its fast growing bioplastics business 
 as 'Biome Bioplastics ltd' 
 
 
Stanelco plc is pleased to announce that following continued high levels of 
growth, it has re-branded its bioplastics business today as Biome Bioplastics 
ltd. 
 
 
Biome Bioplastics makes and sells plastics from renewable resources that also 
biodegrade. Product areas it operates in are increasing as large corporations 
switch to using sustainable resources in key brands.  Recently the division has 
supplied materials to be used in packaging, waste disposal, paper products, 
personal care, horticulture and electronics.   This, combined with the 
division's continued growth, provides an opportune time to invest in 
establishing the division as a brand in the sector. 
 
 
The new brand name utilises the word biome [pronounced bahy-ohm], which is a 
scientific word used to describe ecologically similar climatic conditions such 
as communities of plants, animals, and soil organisms and are often referred to 
as an ecosystem. This re-branding is fitting for a business that manufactures 
materials from renewable resources and that biodegrade at the end of their 
useful life. 
 
 
A new website is launched today for Biome Bioplastics customers which captures 
the progress being made with these materials (www.biomebioplastics.com) as well 
as providing extensive information on the business and product areas. 
 
 
Paul Mines, Chief Executive of Stanelco said: 
 
 
"Stanelco's bioplastics business has continued to achieve high levels of growth 
through the last two years, so it is appropriate at this time that it becomes 
described by a name that reflects its activities so well. Biome Bioplastics 
captures the essence of our activities in both the natural and business 
ecosystems. 
 
 
"We have invested considerable thought into this re-branding as Biome 
Bioplastics enters its next stage of growth, with an increasing portfolio of 
applications and end-uses. We look forward to working with our current and new 
customers under the new brand and further developing our scale within the 
marketplace."
