A Southampton-based company, listed in London, whose bioplastics division develops compostable plastic materials and whose other division builds radio-frequency technology.
Biome Technologies is a UK company with two divisions. Its Biome Bioplastics division develops bio-based, compostable plastic materials, including a heat-stable compostable plastic for coffee pods and a film product range. Its other division, Stanelco RF Technologies, works with radio-frequency heating technology. The company says it is leading the way in developing bio-based and compostable materials to address the global plastics crisis, which is the clearest statement of its mission in the pages we read. Its bioplastic work covers raw materials, production and how additives behave during processing and storage.
The company's group is listed on the London Stock Exchange's AIM market. In 2020 it was named in the London Stock Exchange Group's report 1000 Companies to Inspire Britain, which highlights fast-growing smaller companies. It also received funding from Innovate UK, the government's innovation agency, to scale up new compostable bioplastic materials. We did not read a history of the company, a founder's name or the date it was formed, so we have not stated any.
Southampton City Council's investment pages describe Biome Technologies PLC as a Southampton company, and the company has reported its quarterly results as a UK-listed business. That means the company is based on the south coast of England. A trade-press report from 2020 on a coffee-pod order shows that the bioplastics division supplied compostable materials to customers in the coffee market, including two end customers in the United States, but the Southampton report does not say where products are made, and we could not confirm other UK sites.
We found no information about the company's culture, size or working practices. Its public statements concentrate on its materials and customers. If you want to understand what it is like to work in a small technology company that makes industrial materials, its investor and news pages are a good place to start. We did not read anything first-hand from the company's own website, which is a significant gap in this entry.
In a company like this there are polymer scientists and technicians who develop and test materials, process engineers who scale them up, people who work with customers and packaging makers, and finance and company-secretary staff who handle its stock market listing. Chemistry, materials science, chemical engineering and business are possible routes in. Check the company's own site for current roles and for how its divisions are organised now.
