New biodegradable compounds having high renewable resources starting materials content were developed and formulated at Lab, pilot and industrial level. Pipes were prepared using the here developed compounds, and perfectly mimic the mechanical behavior as well as the chemical resistance of the currently used polyethylene based materials. This work is currently developed within the EC founded HYDRUS project. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
