Patent ID: 7618694

Claim:
A biodegradable container comprising a label for in-mold forming to a surface of the container, and wherein the container comprises a biodegradable resin (C), and the label for in-mold forming, comprises a laminate film (a/b), comprising a film (a), which comprises at least one biodegradable resin (A), and a film (b), which comprises at least one heat-sealable biodegradable resin (B), wherein at least one of the biodegradable resin (A) and at least one of the biodegradable resin (B) each comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of an aliphatic polyester and a polylactic acid, and wherein each of the aliphatic polyester and the polylactic acid contains from 0.02 to 30 mol % of an aliphatic oxycarboxylic acid unit represented by the following formula [I], from 35 to 49.99 mol % of an aliphatic diol unit represented by the following formula [II], and from 35 to 49.99 mol % of an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid unit represented by the following formula [III]: (wherein p is 0 or an integer of 1 to 10); —O—(CH 2 ) m —O— [II] (wherein m is an integer of 2 to 10); and —OC—(CH 2 ) n —CO— [III] (wherein n is 0 or an integer of 1 to 12), wherein the melting point of the biodegradable resin contained in the largest amount in heat-sealable biodegradable resin (B) is 5° C. or more lower than the melting point of the biodegradable resin contained in the largest amount in biodegradable resin (A), wherein the melting point of biodegradable resin (B) is from 60 to 180° C., and wherein the label is heat bonded to the container via film (b).
