2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, general-purpose plastic products such as vinyl chloride resins, olefin resins and vinyl acetate resins have been widely used as agricultural materials and sanitary products. For example, agricultural mulch sheets, ridge covers, etc. are laid between the ridges of plants for the purpose of controlling weeds, soil temperature and erosion, and have sufficient strength to withstand even the harsh conditions including wind and rain. ing. However, while these general-purpose plastic products have the advantage, they do not decompose in the natural environment or have a very low decomposition rate, so if they are left unused or buried in the soil, they will be semipermanently or on the ground. It will remain in the ground. Also, when dumped into the ocean, it damages the landscape and destroys the living environment of marine life. In particular, when vinyl chloride resin is incinerated, harmful gas such as hydrogen chloride is generated, which not only pollutes the atmosphere but also accelerates deterioration of the incinerator. Has become. Due to these problems, in the field of agricultural materials that do not require durability,
Paper is used as the substrate. In this case, although it decomposes quickly in the natural environment and has the advantage that harmful gas is not generated when incinerated, it has lower strength than general-purpose plastic products, poor water resistance, and in wet conditions. There were drawbacks such as a marked decrease in strength.

Recently, as an alternative material to these general-purpose plastic products, a degradable composite material in which a paper and a fiber of polyhydroxycarboxylic acid having both strength and degradability are reinforced with paper has been disclosed (WO 92 / 0
5311). It is described that this degradable composite material is produced by previously processing the polymer into a fibrous form and inserting it into pulp, or after processing into a sheet form and then laminating it with paper. However, in this method, the polyhydroxycarboxylic acid has to be processed into a fiber or sheet in advance, the operation is complicated and troublesome, and it cannot be said to be an industrially advantageous method. In addition, since the polymer has a fibrous or sheet-like molecular weight, it cannot be processed unless it has a certain level of mechanical strength, and a molecular weight of at least 50,000 is required.

As another production method, a polylactic acid having a weight average molecular weight of 100,000 or more is sprinkled in a powder form on a substrate containing vegetable fibers as a main component and then coated by hot pressing to produce a composite material. A method of doing so is disclosed (JP-A-4-334448). However, in this method, the powder is directly sprayed on the base material while hot pressing, so the powder is scattered during the process, which is not an industrially advantageous method.
In addition, the obtained composite material has a thick polylactic acid coating on its surface, so that it easily floats in water and has no water permeability at all. Furthermore, the method of immersing a liquid in which a polymer is dissolved in a paper must use a halogen-based organic solvent, which leads to environmental pollution.
