In one aspect of the invention, there is a biodegradable composition comprising lignocellulosic reinforcement material impregnated with a starch based resin and cured to form a thermoset composition. In another embodiment of the invention, there is a method of making a biodegradable composition comprising the steps of (a) providing a lignocellulosic reinforcement material; (b) impregnating the lignocellulosic reinforcement material with starch based resin to create an impregnated lignocellulosic reinforcement material; (c) drying the impregnated lignocellulosic reinforcement material; (d) curing the lignocellulosic reinforcement material at a sufficient temperature and a sufficient pressure for a sufficient period of time to produce a thermoset biodegradable composition.
