The invention relates to a multicomponent composition for photodegradable
and biodegradable plastic articles, and the use of said composition in
the manufacture of various disposable and packaging plastic articles and
the articles made therefrom. The multicomponent composition does not
contain starch, and is a multicomponent compounded composition of new
bioactive material of chitin, casein and the like, with biodegradable aid
component, photodegradable and auto-oxidation catalysis component, and
nonmetallic minerals and the like. Under natural condition, the degraded
material can be utilized by microorganism to release carbon dioxide and
water, and acts as an eco-friendly plastic material.
