ABSTRACT
The biodegraded foils based on starch and containing different fillers to improve the foil properties have been studied. The foil resistance to solvents of different character, their susceptibility to biodegradation in compost and in the soil, in natural conditions, have been determined. The foil quality and rate of their degradation have been observed under an electron microscope (SEM images).
