A biodegradable foam that excels in biodegradability, moldability and heat
resistance and that even when utilized in food package containers, etc.,
ensures high safety; and a process for producing the same. There are
further provided a biodegradable molding from the foam, and a process for
producing the same. In particular, there is provided a biodegradable foam
for sheet comprising a biodegradable foam obtained by mixing together
rice husk powder, starch and a biodegradable thermoplastic resin and
effecting foaming of the mixture and to be molded into a sheet form,
characterized in that the foaming is carried out at a foaming ratio of
15-fold or below. Preferably, the biodegradable foam for sheet is
characterized in that the mixture contains 5 to 40 wt. % of rice husk
powder and 5 to 30 wt. % of starch. Further, it is preferred that the
biodegradable thermoplastic resin be a mixture of two or more resin
components with different melting points, and especially preferred that
the extensity of resin with low melting point be greater than that of
resin with high melting point.
