Abstract

Disclosed herein are compositions and articles made therefrom, the compositions and articles comprising at least one hydrocolloid, at least one plasticizer, at least one filler and/or humectant and water. Typically, the components are derived from biological sources, such as seaweed, plants, or animals. Typically, the components are made from food quality ingredients, making the compositions and articles edible and/or biodegradable. The compositions are used to form articles, such as straws, and the articles have desirable flexibility and moisture barrier properties, such as swelling resistance, as well as biodegradability and/or compostability properties.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to low-sugar, and preferably sugar-free, edible and/or biodegradable materials, and to edible and/or biodegradable vessels for holding foods and liquids for consumption. Specifically, the disclosure relates to sugar-free edible and/or biodegradable cups, straws, and other vessels, capable of holding hot and/or cold liquids for extended periods of time. The present disclosure and its embodiments further relates to a sugar free edible and/or biodegradable vessel made from natural ingredients. The vessel may have an extended shelf life, and is sturdy enough to be used for a variety of applications.

Abstract

Disclosed herein are compositions for injection molding and articles made therefrom, the compositions and articles comprising at least one hydrocolloid, at least one plasticizer, at least one filler, at least one polycation and/or cross-linker, and at least one flowing agent. Typically, the components are derived from biological sources, such as seaweed, plants, or animals. Typically, the components are made from biodegradable materials, making the compositions and articles compostable. The compositions are used to form the articles by injection molding, such as single-use food service industry products, and the articles have desirable flexibility, tensile strength, and water resistance.
