MBLX is getting fairly close to opening its first large scale factory (Clinton, IA Phase 1). While the delays in construction and unbelievable incompetence in estimating construction costs have rightfully driven the price down, as they approach… More

There are several other companies who are doing bioplastics better and cheaper with resin available now.

Biodegradable plastics do NOT degrade in landfills. They are NOT recyclable. They are NOT the answer. Their palstic can contaminate… More

For those who still have patience for this, you will be rewarded sweetly. Beyond the environmental impact Mirel offers over petroleum-based plastic, it takes advantage of the increasing stigma of BPA/#7 plastics in the household towards a greener, safer solution. Technology will allow the price of Mirel to match sooner than you think.

Bioplastics is oil free plastic. If this takes off with everybody going green this could revolutionize everything.

1) Stock has been underpressure in the past year because of construction delays for its production facility in Iowa; that project is nearing completion and this stock isn't about a Q1 vs. Q3 opening... its about where it goes in 3-5 years.

2) Folks want to see MBLX sign up Coca-Cola (plastic bottles) or some other major plastic provider for its biodegradable plastic... but if they're smart they'll start at high-value add plastics (cosmetic cases, computer/printer cases, stuff Rubermaid makes etc.) first who can pay the freigh and as the pricing falls (what's that semi-conductor law -- Moore's Law?) it'll broader its market ...

No balance sheet issue,

We're trying to figure out how to move away from oil

This is a bio-degradable plastic -- PLASTIC! -- it breaks down in water/dirt to just water...huge long-term for dumps, air pollution, etc.

Best of all -- everyone is pricing MBLX like that's all this company is going to do -- the plastic technology is just a quick-to-market product that will serve as the cash cow to fund future projects -- they're real value add is not necessarily this plastic product but they ability to manipulate multiple genes at one time; it is THIS technology that is MBLX's real comptetitive advantage.

This is the next Genentech, Amgen, Biogen of its day.
