Abstract

Processes of biodegradable molded products were developed. However, to make commercial products to adapted each purpose is still under going. So, this time, to improve the molded products properties, we tested to blend with PLA (polylactic acid) or PBSA (Poly butylenes succinate adipate) into CGM(Corn gluten meal) based agro by-products ingredient.

Molded samples were able to make from all tested material and each sample had each physical properties. Finally, we selected suitable condition for practical field test of Large Sapling Pot for Persimmon saplings. Such application will be addressed in our talk and general situation of biodegradable products by biomass resources in Japan will be also introduced.
