A fishing lure has a composition of substances which has a protein, a polysaccharide, a polyhydric alcohol and water, wherein the weight percentages of protein are between 15 wt % and 35 wt. %, of polysaccharide between 0.5 wt % and 3 wt %, of polyhydric alcohol between 35 wt % and 75 wt %, and of water between 15 wt % and 35 wt % in the composition of substances. Furthermore, a fabrication process for a fishing lure which degenerates in water and which is also non-toxic to organisms living in water, such as fish.

Recyclable and biodegradable and/or industrially compostable plastic formulations that include a recyclable and biodegradable thermoplastic polymer, a recyclable and biodegradable filler, and halloysite are provided. Also provided are articles of manufacture produced using the recyclable and biodegradable and/or compostable plastic formulations. In particular, super chewer toys, e.g. dog bones, made of a recyclable and biodegradable and/or industrially compostable plastic formulation are described.

A wool-based insulation material is disclosed, wherein the majority fiber component is wool, making up over 50% of the total composition. The wool is blended with a proprietary fire-retardant adhesive and a minority component of green fibers (less than 50%), which includes natural fibers such as hemp fibers, soy fibers, and banana fibers. These plant-based fibers contribute to the insulation's sustainability and structural properties. The blend specifically excludes impurities such as hemp hurd, wood chips, and stalk materials. This insulation material combines excellent fire resistance, thermal insulation, and environmental sustainability, with wool serving as the critical component.
