Abstract
With a process for manufacturing compostible thin-walled molded articles such as cups, plates, fast-food packagings, trays, flat sheets and the like, by applying a starch-based baking composition on the lower part of a multipart, preferably bipartite mold, to obtain a tough, durable article of high mechanical stability by using an essentially fat-free baking composition composed of water, a starch product, a release agent, and optionally further conventional additives, by baking the baking composition filling the mold, and by conditioning the resulting product to establish a moisture content of 6-22% by weight, the invention proposes the use, in addition to or instead of starch, of at least one modified starch selected from the group comprising starch esterified with organic acids or phosphoric acid, etherified starch, cross-linked starch and starch capable of being modified by ionic interaction.
