MULTILAYER DISPERSIBLE AND BIODEGRADABLE COMPOSITE
A dispersible and biodegradable composite having a dispersible substrate comprising a water-dispersible paper; and a first biodegradable polymeric film, adjacent a first side of the dispersible substrate, comprising at least one biodegradable component. The dispersible and biodegradable composite may have a second biodegradable polymeric film on the second side of the dispersible substrate. The dispersible and biodegradable composite may be used to form a package. A method of making the dispersible and biodegradable composite includes applying the biodegradable polymeric film to the dispersible substrate.
