Abstract
A biodegradable molded article produced by molding under pressure a residue remaining after taking out essential portions of effective elements in foods, and/or in materials thereof, such as lees of Sake, squeezed and strained lees of fruits, etc. This enables the residues to be effectively re-utilized by producing therefrom molded articles which can be used in a variety of fields. As being biodegradable, the molded article also permits an easy disposal without creating an environmental problem.
