Abstract: To provide a glycolic acid copolymer composition that can be solidification- and extrusion-molded and that improves rate of decrease in thickness of the molded article during degradation. The glycolic acid copolymer composition according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a glycolic acid copolymer and a carboxylic anhydride, the glycolic acid copolymer including two or more straight macromolecular chains A, each containing a repeating unit derived from glycolic acid and being chemically bonded to a particular macromolecular chain B that is different from the macromolecular chain A, and a weight average molecular weight of the composition is 150000 or greater.

Abstract: The molded body according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a composition containing a glycolic acid polymer, a plasticizer, and a degradation accelerator. An absolute value of a difference between a Fedors solubility parameter of the plasticizer and a Fedors solubility parameter of the glycolic acid polymer is 6 (J/cm3)1/2 or less. A content of the plasticizer in the composition is 10 mass % or greater and 50 mass % or less.
