Abstract
This article debates the production of mouldings made of keratin. It is demonstrated that the properties of keratin allow for being processed with heat and pressure to manufacture tough mouldings without chemical preprocessing of the used wool. This material thus has a high potential as a bioplastic, because it potentially can be used with conventional plastic manufacturing techniques. Additionally, it might also serve as an adhesive in various applications. The biobased material might become a sustainable source for mouldings.
