Sustainable materials: intangible characteristics of a composite material made of starch paper residue

Abstract

This paper is about the development of a new material from the composition of a renewable biodegradable polymer – the starch – added to paper waste. We describe the process of obtaining this composite material and the analysis of its intangible characteristics. As a result of this research, we can argue that this composite material can be an interesting alternative for designing innovative and sustainable products.
