A biodegradable resin composition containing a resin and a protein, the resin being contained in an amount of 40 to 99.9% by mass in the resin composition, the resin containing a polyester-based resin, the polyester-based resin having three or more structural units, at least one of the structural units being a succinic acid unit, an azelaic acid unit, a sebacic acid unit, or a brassylic acid unit. The biodegradable resin composition can increase the speed of biodegradation and the percentage of degradation of a polyester-based resin in the sea and has good moldability. A molded article of the biodegradable resin composition. A method of biodegrading a polyester-based resin, by biodegrading the polyester-based resin in sea water in the presence of a protein.

A composite material includes biodegradable and/or renewable materials such as purified milk protein recovered as a byproduct in cheese making processes. The result is a material suitable for three-dimensional (3D) printing and extrusion based polymer processing, with improved properties but that is still environmentally friendly. Purified milk protein may be used to produce composite thermoplastic materials or resins. Additional chemical modification may improve the blending of purified milk protein.
