A thermoplastic, water-dispersible, biodegradable composition of matter which is resistant to fungal attack prior to dispersal, and containers and the like made therefrom. The composition comprises hydroxyalkyl cellulose, starch, and a member selected from the group consisting of sorbic acid and its alkali metal salts as the anti-fungal agent.
