Production of a biodegradable product with a starting material comprising amylose in flour derived from an edible crop plant, wood flour, a natural wax and water

摘要

A means of producing a biodegradable product, which is intended for temporary storage of foodstuffs, is described. This product may be used in the manufacture of objects such as containers for hot and cold foodstuffs or liquids. The product is made under conditions of pressure and heat in a mould, from a basic material containing amylose, wood flour, natural wax and water. The method of manufacture is characterised in the composition of the basic material: a moist granulate comprising 50 - 250 parts by weight amylose - comprising flour derived from an edible crop plant; 10 - 85 parts by weight wood flour; 2 - 30 parts by weight natural wax and 50 - 250 parts by weight water.
