Novel environment‐friendly hydrophobic polymer materials–layer composites–were developed. These composites consist of a thick layer of cellulose substrate and a thin protective layer of a biodegradable polymer. Various types of the layer composites and their applications were described. Correlation between a porous structure of the protective polymer layer and composite properties was found. Wastes of the novel polymer materials can be utilized in two ways: by repulping and by biodegradation. Widespread usage of the proposed polymer composite materials will bring about an improvement in the ecological state of the environment. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
