[0003] A conventional flat wire made of plastic
Is used as a ground stabilization net member for revetment work, a planting net member for vegetation, and a breeding net member for lawns, etc. It is left as it is because it requires a lot of labor and it is buried in the soil and used because the roots of vegetation are entangled and it is difficult to recover. As a result, it is feared that various problems such as environmental pollution will be caused. On the other hand, a net member made of rayon yarn having biodegradability is weak in strength and has a practical problem. Furthermore, rayon is a natural material, so stable supply is difficult.
Further, it has been pointed out that trees are felled in order to manufacture rayon, which causes environmental damage.

Examples of the polycaprolactone according to the present invention include biodegradable aliphatic polyester chemically synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone which is a cyclic monomer. Such poly ε-caprolactone has a low melting point of about 60 ° C., and if it exceeds 50 ° C., it tends to become sticky and soften. Therefore, it is often not preferable to use as a single film. However, such poly ε-caprolactone has a high elasticity during heating and melting, and has an elongation equal to or higher than that of a polyolefin resin such as polyethylene or polypropylene, so that it can be stretched to a high degree, Flat tire with strength
It is preferred to produce Therefore, such a flat yarn can be suitably used as a material for the net member.

On the other hand, examples of the poly-3-hydroxybutyric acid / 3-hydroxyvaleric acid copolymer according to the present invention include:
Hydrogen bacterium Alcaligenes eutrophus
When glucose is used as a substrate and cultured, the cells grow and polyhydroxybutyric acid polymer is accumulated in the cells. Then, in this process, glucose and propionic acid were supplied as carbon sources, and when the culture was further continued, the hydroxyvaleric acid unit was randomly incorporated into the hydroxybutyric acid unit of the polymer and biosynthesized. An example is a poly-3-hydroxybutyric acid / 3-hydroxyvaleric acid copolymer having excellent biodegradability. However, such a poly-3-hydroxybutyric acid / 3-hydroxyvaleric acid copolymer has high crystallinity, is hard and brittle, and is often not used as a single film. However, depending on the use, for example, when a film, a sheet, or the like is formed into a film, slit into an appropriate width, and uniaxially stretched in one direction, for example, a flat yarn having extremely excellent biodegradability is produced. It can be used as a connector.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The net member manufactured from the flat yarn according to the present invention can be suitably used for, for example, a ground stabilizing net, a vegetative net for vegetation and a turf breeding net for revetment work. Moreover, the nets made of the net member according to the present invention, after the end of the purpose of use,
Even if it is left in the natural world, it can be biodegraded by microorganisms in the natural world and returned to the natural world. Further, the net member can be suitably used as a packaging material for various products such as foods and machinery products, and further, it is easy to dispose of it, and after the purpose of use is completed, as waste, in soil, underwater, etc. Even when it is discarded, it is completely biodegraded by microorganisms, so there is no concern about environmental pollution. Further, even when the net member is incinerated as a waste, since the combustion calories are small, the incinerator tends to be less likely to be damaged. Therefore, the net member can be expected to be used for many purposes in addition to the ground stabilization net for revetment work, various foods, packaging materials such as machine parts for merchandise.
