The present invention provides a composition comprising (i) a cellulose -based polymer, and (ii) a plasticizer; wherein a weight per weight (w/w) concentration of the plasticizer within the composition is from 0.1 to 20%; and wherein a glass transition temperature (Tg) of the composition is reduced by at least 20% compared to a Tg of the cellulose-based polymer. Furthermore, provided herein are articles comprising the composition of the invention, and methods for manufacturing thereof.
