Although some of these are recycled, they are generally recovered and then subjected to treatments such as incineration and burial. However, it takes a lot of labor and cost to collect,
Alternatively, it may be left uncollected because it is difficult to collect. In particular, the above-mentioned polymers such as polyethylene are not so biodegradable at all, and remain semi-permanently when left unattended, which causes a problem in terms of environmental protection.
Further, when incinerating the collected molded body, there is a possibility that high calorie combustion heat is generated or corrosive gas is generated and the incinerator is damaged. Furthermore, if the molded body is buried in the soil, it will remain in the soil semipermanently if the molded body is difficult to decompose.

In recent years, in order to impart biodegradability to such hardly-decomposable or non-decomposable resins such as polyethylene, a method of mixing a biodegradable component such as starch with polyethylene resin has been investigated. ing. Further, a method of imparting photodegradability to a polyethylene resin or the like, or a method of mixing a photodegradable polyethylene resin or the like with a biodegradable component such as starch has been studied.

However, the method of mixing a biodegradable component such as starch lowers the mechanical strength of the molded product, and in some cases the molded product cannot retain its shape. Moreover, the admixed starch itself has decomposability, but it does not induce the decomposition of the polymer part other than starch in the decomposition process, and eventually the molded product becomes disjointed, but it is simply cut into fine pieces. It does not solve the essential problem. The same can be said for imparting photodegradability, which causes a decrease in the degree of polymerization by light, but does not have biodegradability and is meaningless in an environment where light is not applied.

On the other hand, in place of such an essentially non-biodegradable resin, a resin having biodegradability itself has been developed as a second-generation biodegradable resin, and a resin corresponding to this can be chemically synthesized. There is an aliphatic polyester resin obtained.

However, when the aliphatic polyester resin is polymerized by polycondensation, the reaction is carried out under severe conditions of high temperature and high pressure in the latter half of the manufacturing process. For this reason, depolymerization of the polyester resin, which originally has poor heat stability, occurs, and it is difficult to increase the molecular weight. Therefore, the mechanical strength characteristics of the obtained molded product become insufficient, and it becomes difficult to secure the strength sufficient to expect wide application. In such a case, there is a method in which diisocyanate is reacted with hydroxyl groups at both ends of the aliphatic polyester having a relatively low molecular weight to increase the molecular weight through a urethane bond. Although high mechanical strength characteristics can be ensured by increasing the molecular weight, on the other hand, decomposition of the obtained molded product or the like may be delayed. Under such circumstances, there is an increasing demand for a molded article that is essentially biodegradable, has mechanical strength characteristics and weather resistance, and has excellent biodegradability.
