BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The starch material in the prior art mainly comprises 50wt%-90wt% (weight percentage) starch; 5wt%-25wt% fiber enhancer; 0.2wt%-3wt% steady agent; and 5wt%-40wt% filling powders; preferably, 0.5wt910-5wt% foaming material is added thereto. The environment of forming the starch material is high humidity environment (the humidity is about 80%). The starch material is formed as blocks so as to mix with water. To cause water is uniformly distributed in the starch material, the starch material is rubbed many times until the hardness of the surface of the starch material is between 10 HA-20 HA.
The starch of the starch material is selected from potato starch, corn starch, wood starch, or other plant starch. Because the particles of these starches are not preferred so that water is used to concrete the structure of the starch material. When the starch material is placed in a shaping space and then compressed and heated to temperature of about 100°C, water therein will evaporate to be formed with a plurality of holes in the porous starch container.
The wastes of starch foaming material and the manufacturing products thereof can be biologically decomposed after unused and may be further used in other fields so as not to pollute the environment. The starch foaming material can be processed by burning. Furthermore after burning, the product of CO2 for general used plastics is 3.13 tons, while it is 0.6 tons for starch foaming material, which has a reduction of 80 -90 %.
Furthermore in the burning process, the products are harmful and the residue may be used as fertilizer.
Conventionally, paper is used as material for making food containers, however, paper is not preferred biological material. Furthermore the prior paper cup is coated with a layer of PP or PE for waterproof, but PP and PE are plastic material which is harmful to human bodies and cannot be decomposed naturally so as to pollute the environment.
The inventor has developed starch material for many years and uses these materials in food container. However, the starch material has no function of waterproof. It is easy to resolve and deform and thus is not suitable to receive liquid. Therefore, the usage of the starch container is greatly confined.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, for improving above mentioned defects in the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a environment protected 20 starch container device, wherein The function of the silicon layer 20 is to cause the starch container 10 to be waterproof. Furthermore in natural environment, the silicon layer 20 and the starch container 10 are capably of decomposition naturally without polluting the environment. Therefore, it is better than the prior art used paper cups made of the PP or PE.
Furthermore the silicon layer 20 is endurable to temperatures higher than 250°C and capable of suffering from high temperature and has the function of killing bacteria in high temperature. The conventionally containers made of PE or PU only suffer from temperatures not over than 20 °C. However, the starch container 10 of the present invention is coated with a silicon layer 20 which can suffer from temperatures over than 250°C.
Therefore, the medical instruments made of the material of the present invention are useable for killing bacteria on high temperature, while this effect cannot be achieved by the conventional container.
To achieve above object, the present invention provides an 5 environment protected starch container device; comprising; a starch container mainly made of starch material for holding solid or liquid foods or other objects; a silicon layer adhered to a surface of the starch container; and wherein the function of the silicon layer is to cause the starch container to be waterproof; originally, the starch container is not waterproof; 10 furthermore in natural environment, the silicon layer and the starch container are capably of decomposition naturally without polluting the environment; therefore the container is capable of holding water therein and is reusable for many times.
The starch material comprises 50wt%-90wt% (weight percentage) starch; 5wt%-25wt% fiber enhancer for enhancing a structure of the starch material; and 3w-t°4-3 Owt% CaCO3 for hardening the structure of the starch material. The starch material may further comprise 0.02wt%-5wt% foaming material.

A starch container 10 is mainly made of starch material for receiving solid or liquid foods or other objects.
A silicon layer 20 is adhered to a surface of the starch container 10.
Preferably, the silicon layer 20 is adhered to an inner surface of the starch container 10. Preferably, the silicon layer 20 is adhered to a whole surface of the silicon layer 20.
The silicon layer 20 is adhered to the surface of the starch container 10 30 by spraying or other ways.
The function of the silicon layer 20 is to cause the starch container 10 to be waterproof in a short time period. Originally, the starch container 10 is not waterproof. Furthermore in natural environment, the silicon layer 20 and the starch container 10 are capably of decomposition naturally 5 without polluting the environment. Therefore, when the starch container 10 is coated with the silicon layer 20, it is capable of holding water therein and is reusable for many times. It can reduce cost and destroy to the environment. The biological material and silicon has no pollution to the environment and does not affect the health of human body. Therefore, it 10 is better than the prior art used paper cups made of the PP or PE. Furthermore the silicon layer 20 is endurable to temperatures higher than 250°C and capable of suffering from high temperature and has the function of killing bacteria in high temperature. The conventionally containers made of PE or PU only suffer from temperatures not over than 20 °C.
