BIODEGRADABLE MATERIAL FOR MAKING A VARIETY OF ARTICLES

摘要

A material consisting of a compressed mass containing vegetable matter incorporated into a solidified binder such as gelatin. A dye may be added to the mass. The rigidity and hardness of the material vary depending on the density of vegetable matter in the mass, whereby the material may be used to make a wide variety of articles. As it is biodegradable, this novel material is environmentally friendly.
