COMPOSITE MATERIAL WITH A MATRIX ON THE BASIS OF ORGANIC PLASTICS, AND USE THEREOF

A description is given of a composite material with a matrix on the basis of an organic plastic containing solid fillers. This composite material is distinguished by the fact that the filler is a dried fermentation residue from the fermentation of vegetable substrates. This composite material opens up beneficial uses, such as in the construction of furniture and exhibition stands and for decorative articles and products relating to gardening and landscaping. The invention therefore avoids the discarding of fermentation residues from the fermentation of vegetable substrates. Instead, they are advantageously used in composite materials. This is therefore a very useful way of making use of such materials, it having been found that the physical properties of the composite materials provided with a dried fermentation residue are sufficient for the respectively intended applications.
