A biodegradable, structured shaped product having good flexibility or rigidity properties is provided by extruding starch having a relatively large defined particle size and preferably containing a nucleating agent.

Expanded starch-based shaped products and the method of preparation thereof

A biodegradable, water dispersible shaped core product useful in winding or rolling and storage of paper goods is provided by extruding starch which has a particle size of 800 to 1200 microns into an expanded, closed cell starch product.

Starch-based core products for use in rolled paper goods

A biodegradable structured packing formed from laminated layers of biodegradable filler. The filler is formed from a starch base and extruded into sheets. The surfaces of the sheets are treated with a substance such as water to promote tackification and bonding and pressed together to form a laminate assembly. The laminate assembly may then be used as is or then cut to any of a variety of shapes for packing and related purposes.
