Generally speaking, general-purpose synthetic polymers are not biodegradable or disintegrating; however, as a method for obtaining biodegradable or disintegrating molded articles, compositions consisting of synthetic polymers and starch have been developed so far. Attempts are being made to melt mold. Furthermore, in recent years, starch-polystyrene graphs (Sho 61-44085 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Sho 55-157643) have been developed.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the case of the above-mentioned composition consisting of a synthetic polymer and starch, the synthetic polymer portion disintegrates after the starch portion is decomposed by microorganisms. However, since the starch inside the molded product takes a long time to undergo biodegradation, it is necessary to increase the amount of starch to speed up the biodegradation rate, but increasing the amount of starch results in a decrease in physical properties. .

In addition, in a method for obtaining a composition containing a synthetic powder and a synthetic polymer using a starch-Boristine graft copolymer, the graft copolymer increases the compatibility between the starch and the synthetic polymer. Therefore, the starch content can be increased without sacrificing physical properties. However, in this graph, it is difficult to obtain a graft copolymer with a sufficient grafting rate to improve compatibility. 7
However, the process is complicated and undesirable, as it requires mixing the synthetic polymer and starch after obtaining the copolymer. Further, compositions containing starch cannot be expected to be useful as fertilizers after disintegration, and there are no compositions that are effective for other uses.

(Means for Solving the Problems) It is known that seaweed is an effective fertilizer and that alginic acid, which is contained in a large amount in seaweed, swells about 20 times when soaked in water. The present inventors have discovered that by mixing seaweed with such properties into a synthetic polymer, the resulting polymer composition becomes more susceptible to biodegradation or disintegration.

In other words, when a composition consisting of seaweed and a synthetic polymer is immersed in water, the seaweed part swells, causing physical disintegration easily, making it susceptible to biodegradation. The present invention was completed based on the discovery that sufficient biodegradation or disintegration can occur with an amount of seaweed that does not impair physical properties, and that after decomposition or disintegration, the seaweed part becomes an effective fertilizer.
