The invention discloses a biodegradable material and a preparation method thereof. The biodegradable material comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 10-79 parts of bio-based resin,5-45 parts of a bio-based filler, 3-20 parts of modified nano calcium carbonate, 5-15 parts of talcum powder, 5-15 parts of glass fiber powder, 6-18 parts of zinc oxide powder, 5-20 parts of a plasticizer, 1-5 parts of a lubricant, 0.5-5 parts of a biodegradation accelerator, 10-50 parts of an antistatic agent and 3-15 parts of epoxidized vegetable oil. The biodegradable material disclosed by theinvention is safe, environment-friendly and non-toxic, has complete biodegradability, relieves environmental pressure caused by large-scale use of fossil plastic, has excellent mechanical properties compared with an existing biodegradable material, and has the advantages that the temperature resistance, the wear resistance, the hydrophobicity, the creep resistance, the rigidity, the tensile property and the impact resistance are remarkably improved, and production cost is significantly reduced.
