Abstract;Functional packaging material, Ekosu was introduced, which has an outer layer of biodegradable plastic and an internal layer of aluminum foil. Ekosu has a high stability in an ordinary use, and biodegradable plastic of the outer layer decomposes after disposal by aerobic bacteria and microorganisms in the soil, and the aluminum foil goes on the surface and is oxidized to hydrated alumina in the soil. The characteristics and application as a packaging material of Ekosu were described.
