Abstract: The invention relates to a composition for use in the production of an article of manufacture, and in particular, to the manufacture of wall and corner guards. The composition includes a biopolymer in combination with PETG as well as a modifier. The biopolymer and modifier are preferably produced from an annually renewable source such as corn or sugar as opposed to traditionally used petroleum based plastics. In this manner, the composition of the invention is relatively environmentally friendly as compared to known compositions while maintaining many of the desirable qualities thereof. In addition, the production of the articles of manufacture results in the consumption of fewer fossil fuels and less production of pollutants.
