ABSTRACT:
A degradable, reusable, partially synthetic and partially non-synthetic bedding material for animals includes a plurality of flexible monofilaments formed from a blend of a thermoplastic polymer and starch. An effective amount of at least one transition metal salt may also be added to enhance ultraviolet and/or thermal degradation. The partially synthetic animal bedding has an appearance, texture and sound very similar to that of natural straw, but can be cleaned and reused repeatedly. The partially synthetic straw-like material is inert as far as digestibility and is degradable when exposed to sunlight and dry heat, and is biodegradable and compostable thereby providing for relatively easy disposal.
