Improved biodegradable composition and their methods for manufacture

Abstract

Forms of the technology relate to a biodegradable composition including at least one biobased or partially biobased polymer and at least one filler comprising processed organic matter wherein the filler is adapted to provide mechanical stiffness to the composition and/or provide one or more nutrient(s) to soil upon degradation of the composition in soil. The at least one biobased or partially biobased polymer may comprise a combination of polymers including polybutylene succinate (PBS) and polylactic acid (PLA). The filler may include processed organic matter obtained from animal matter, for example animal carcasses. Forms of the technology relate to the use of such a biodegradable composition for the manufacture of a container for plants.
