A biodegradable container 10 comprising a starch material and a layer of silicon 20. Preferably, the silicon is adhered to the inner or whole surface of the container. Preferably, the container may be a cup (100, figure 1), a plate (200, figure 5), a bowl (300, figure 7) or box (400, figure 9). Ideally, the starch material comprises starch, fibre and hardening (for example CaCO3) materials. The starch may also comprise a foam material (preferably yeast). The starch is ideally derived from either potato, corn, wood or other plants. |
