BIODEGRADABLE COATED PAPER ARTICLES, AND METHODS THEREOF
Biodegradable coated paper articles comprising a paper substrate and a layer provided on said paper substrate, wherein the layer is formed from a biodegradable coating composition comprising: a. a cellulose ester which is a cellulose acetate propionate (CAP) in an amount of 5.5 to 15 weight %, based on the total weight of (a), (b), and (c); b. a biodegradable polymer which is a polyester in amount of 45 to 75 weight %, based on the total weight of (a), (b), and (c); and c. an inorganic filler in an amount of 12 to 40 weight %, based on the total weight of (a), (b), and (c); wherein the polyester is selected from the group consisting of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS), poly(butylene succinate adipate) (PBSA), polycaprolactone (PCL), poly(butylene adipate terephthalate) (PBAT), polylactic acid (PLA), and combinations thereof.
