A resin composition comprising a saturated polyester resin consisting chiefly of a hydroxyalkanoate unit, a heat-moldable hydroxyl group-containing resin having a vinyl alcohol unit, and an alkaline earth metal carbonate, a molded article composed of this resin composition and, particularly, a container and a multi-layer plastic container having an outer layer formed of this resin composition and an inner layer of a resin consisting chiefly of an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer. The resin composition and the molded articles thereof exhibit not only excellent mechanical properties but also excellent bio-disintegrating property. |
