1. A process comprising:
mixing about 80 to 95 weight percent of a thermoplastic with a dried distillers solubles biocomposite comprising 30 to 90 weight percent dried distillers solubles, 5 to 20 weight percent metal oxide; and 5 to 50 weight percent fiber to form a mixture, wherein the weight percents are based on a total weight of the biocomposite, wherein the biocomposite has a moisture content of 0.5 to 15 percent; and melt processing the mixture at a temperature below a melt processing temperature of the thermoplastic by itself.
