I have handled biodegradable packing foam made up of dried dough such rice flour, or other starches. It is supposed to be more environmentally friendly then plastic foams

They are made from corn starch. I used to always playing with those and i still do!! Also they have some for kids where you can make things out of them by licking one end of a little foamy thing and sticking them together to build things. Great fun!!

That type of packing foam is my favorite (I really hate the styrofoam type!) It's made of cornstarch and it is so easy to dispose of. It doesn't stick all over and won't be around after we are gone!

It's made out of cornstarch, they sell them as a building toy for kids too! (moisten the end and they stick together!) I wish I could remember the site I saw them on...

i think it is made from some kind of starch, from corn or something, it is kind of fun melting it down the sink isnt it.
