Containers made from wood chips

摘要

Containers (1), made from wood chips (11) are made by forming a wall by pressing together wood chips (11) mixed with a water-insoluble adhesive (4). The wall permits infiltration of a liquid from at least one surface thereof and hold the liquid inside. The containers are suited for use as food bowls having a heat-insulating quality and as flower pots providing an automatic continuous feed of water. The wood chips used as the material may be obtained by crushing particles of wood, resulting from timbering, into smaller pieces.
