5000 buy at full ask and a 20,000 roll over or was it...strange trades just lately

[jmf69] 04/4/2017 08:13

The management at this company have consistently failed to deliver any substantial increase in sales or any return to the shareholders

[tonyrelaxes] 03/4/2017 23:56

But the Teslas won't sound as exciting as Sir Mark's Lambo accelerating away from Marchwood.

[temmujin] 01/4/2017 18:54

plus the £495,000 lump sum recently...market cap seems far too low...and if warwick uni crack the lignum process,the holy grail of bio-plastic? patent it and we'll all be driving tesla top of the range electric cars

They also have an ungeared balance sheet with £1.5m sitting on it.

[wigwammer] 01/4/2017 17:54

It is possible that the green angle warrants a 10% premium to the consumer, so a 100 pack sells for £22 rather than £20.The cost of the pod to the consumer is not the issue, the brand aspect of doing something environmentally advantageous is.That would add 2p per pod. I would guess 2 billion of these things are chucked each year in western markets. Leaves a £40m market left for retailer, producer, technology owner to fight over.Quite meaningful to a £3m minnow (especially when £3m roughly equates to the value of the RF division - it's a free option.)

They've been 'stepping in' for ten years and more temmujin, ask Sirmark and Begorrah

[wigwammer] 01/4/2017 15:49

Thanks vaneric, interesting.

[temmujin] 01/4/2017 14:15

NOT REALLY..governments stated recently that they are seeking bio degradable alternatives to cut the mountains of waste...step in biome

[vaneric1] 01/4/2017 13:51

That's all a bit old hat now temmujin.

Biome Bioplastics serves coffee to Minister for Life Sciences
By Life Size Media
February 11

The Minister for Life Sciences has reinforced the importance of industrial biotechnology in underpinning a sustainable economy during his keynote address at the Industrial Biotechnology Showcase 2015. George Freeman visited exhibitions from leading companies in the industrial biotechnology sector, including a display of the market’s first biodegradable coffee pods made from materials developed by Biome Bioplastics.

Taking place over two days at the Queen Elizabeth II conference centre in London, the Industrial Biotechnology Showcase brings together leading manufacturers using biological substances, systems and processes to produce materials, chemicals and energy.

Opening the conference this morning, George Freeman, the UK’s first ever Minister for Life Sciences spoke about the huge opportunity for the industrial biotechnology sector to drive and underpin a more sustainable, 21st century model of growth. The Minister affirmed that “nowhere is our proprietary strength more profound than in industrial biotechnology” and referenced projected growth of up to £360bn globally by 2025.

After a busy morning, the Minister took a few moments to relax with a coffee at Biome Bioplastics’ exhibition stand. Single-serve coffee machines are now extremely popular, with an estimated 200 million capsules being sent to UK landfill every year. Happily, the Minister was able to dispose of his coffee pod in a compost bin because Biome Bioplastics’ materials are based on natural, renewable resources and are fully biodegradable.

Everyday examples of industrial biotechnology such as the coffee pods were showcased alongside cutting-edge research and development in the industrial biotechnology field. Biome Bioplastics’ CEO Paul Mines explained to the Minister how the company is using industrial biotechnology to develop the next generation of biopolymers. With support from Innovate UK and the BBSRC, Biome Bioplastics has undertaken pioneering research with the University of Warwick that has successfully demonstrated the feasibility of extracting organic chemicals from lignin for the manufacture of bioplastics.

Lignin is the second most abundant organic polymer on earth. It is found naturally in organic materials like wood and is produced industrially as a by-product of the pulp and paper industry. Biome Bioplastics’ pioneering work with lignin has the potential to accelerate the global bioplastics market by significantly enhancing performance while reducing cost.

“Biome Bioplastics’ mission is to produce bioplastics that challenge the dominance of oil-based polymers and ultimately replace them completely. Industrial biotechnology is allowing us to move past the barriers that have traditionally faced the bioplastic market and we welcome the Minister’s support for this important sector.”

The retail price of biodegradable coffee filters is around £1.29 for a 100 pack, take out the retailer's mark up and the wholesaler's mark up and the packaging,transport and manufacturing costs and taxes and they probably cost about 4p a 100.

[wigwammer] 01/4/2017 10:40

Do we have any fact driven thoughts on what price per unit they may get?I understand that writing bearish things about BIOM is popular here - but that's precisely why it is interesting.

[monkeywench1] 31/3/2017 18:55

Well said V.

[vaneric1] 31/3/2017 18:16

I think a .0005p profit is closer to the point and gross not net at that.

[temmujin] 31/3/2017 15:31

maybe the coffee contracts could turn out to be huge in time...think about it how many coffees are bought per day? say 50 million and biom get say 5p profit on each one x that by 365 for the year...hmmmmmm

[temmujin] 31/3/2017 15:29

SOMEONE bought 15,000....??

[begorrah88] 31/3/2017 11:42

No, it means it is the latest desperate attempt by Market Makers to try and squeeze a few more mug punters to thing something is happening here.

I tell you who it won't be buying - Mines or Standen, ooooohhh no, they wouldn't risk a penny in this dog.

[temmujin] 31/3/2017 09:59

breaking news..major event just happened...biome's share price has risen ,albeit 1p...does this mean we have turned the corner...paul mines you are a legend!

[begorrah88] 30/3/2017 08:35

It can't be easy to achieve a performance so consistently poor year after year after year.

Mines must really have to go out of his way to avoid business even on the law of averages you'd expect him to have managed at least one decent contract but no!

What on Earth does he do all day? it certainly isn't running a successful company or meeting prospective customers.

[temmujin] 29/3/2017 12:25

big dump then continued buying..maybe they have turned the corner...£2m in cash still ,wont be going bust this year anyway...just need this coffee mesh to take off stateside and we're minted!

[marmar80] 29/3/2017 11:13

Someone had enough

[davidlloyd] 29/3/2017 08:27

Sama sama 😳
Same old record. Remarkable really in some senses, just bad ones.
