A composition which is suitable for forming biodegradable consumer products contains at least one natural starch and a maximum of 40% by weight of water. The starch is present at least partially as component of comminuted natural products, specifically in combination with other components of precisely these natural products. In a process for producing a biodegradable consumer product, a composition of this type is subjected to a heat treatment for plastication, gelatinisation or compression, where appropriate to a degassing, and subsequently to at least one moulding process. This heat treatment takes place either at a temperature below the glass transition temperature or above the glass transition temperature, depending on the water content of the composition. |
