In the embodiments, sustainable wearable items are provided. In some embodiments, the sustainable wearable item can include an upper comprising an upper layer including an upper material selected from the group consisting of upcycled apple skin, sustainable satin, a combination of upcycled apple skin and tea bag recycled yarn, recycled polyamide yarn, and a combination of upcycled apple skin and recycled polyamide yarn, a lining including a material selected from the group consisting of upcycled apple skin and upcycled grape skin, and a first adhesive to bind the upper layer and the lining. In some embodiments, the sustainable wearable item can include a bottom comprising an insole including a material selected from the group consisting of upcycled apple skin and upcycled grape skin, an outsole including vegetable tanned leather, and a second adhesive to bind the insole and the outsole.

The invention relates to an insulated panel, in particular a wall panel or roof panel, including a foamed core layer and a cover layer affixed to the foamed core layer. The invention also relates to an insulating covering, in particular a wall covering or floor covering, including a plurality said insulated panels.

Laminates including (i) a bitumen-containing sheet (BCS) having a first side surface and a second side surface, and (ii) a biodegradable nonwoven liner (BNL) laminated to the first side surface of the BCS are provided. The BNL comprises a plurality of regenerated cellulose fibers, in which the plurality of regenerated cellulose fibers are inherently hydrophobic and/or rendered hydrophobic via a topically applied hydrophobic additive.

The present invention relates to a method for producing a laminate comprising a paper or paperboard substrate and a microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) film. A first web comprising a paper or paperboard substrate is provided. A second web of an MFC film is provided, wherein the MFC film has: a) a content of MFC of 50-100 weight-% based on total dry weight; b) a moisture content of 5-20 weight-%, c) a ratio of a machine direction tensile index and a cross direction tensile index of 0.8-1.4. The first web and the second web are joined using at least one adhesive layer provided between the webs so as to form the laminate. The MFC film of the laminate is further dried to a moisture content of less than 4 weight-%. The invention relates also to a laminate and a packaging material comprising the laminate.

A cellulose-based packaging material has a multi-layer structure that includes a barrier layer with at least one of microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) and cellulose nanofibril (CNF) that provides enhanced moisture and/or oxygen or other gas barrier properties. The other layers, e.g., outer layers, of the material's multilayer structure may be cellulose-based and the entire material may be devoid of polymeric or metallic films or foils. The material may be implemented as a sandwich structure with an interior MFC and/or CNF film as the barrier layer and cellulose-based outer layers that immobilize the MFC and/or CNF film during the material's dewatering and drying procedures. Nano-scale cellulose products delivering the MFC and/or CNF may be incorporated into a foamed MFC and/or CNF product upstream of a paper machine headbox, so that the headbox(es) receives a volume of foamed MFC and/or CNF product for forming the barrier layer and at least two volumes of non-foamed and non-MFC and/or CNF cellulose-based feedstock for forming the outer layers.

The invention is a series of all-natural, heat-reactivating, reversible adhesives which can be used to produce mono-material film packaging and wood products of improved recyclability. The adhesive is composed of betaine, collagen peptides, and a monosaccharide along with other modifiers and fillers, such as gelatin and whey protein. This adhesive is dissolved in the fast-drying all-natural solvent ethanol and can be modified for other evaporable solvent systems.

In the embodiments, sustainable wearable items are provided. In some embodiments, the sustainable wearable item can include an upper comprising an upper layer including an upper material selected from the group consisting of upcycled apple skin, sustainable satin, a combination of upcycled apple skin and tea bag recycled yarn, recycled polyamide yarn, and a combination of upcycled apple skin and recycled polyamide yarn, a lining including a material selected from the group consisting of upcycled apple skin and upcycled grape skin, and a first adhesive to bind the upper layer and the lining. In some embodiments, the sustainable wearable item can include a bottom comprising an insole including a material selected from the group consisting of upcycled apple skin and upcycled grape skin, an outsole including vegetable tanned leather, and a second adhesive to bind the insole and the outsole.

The present invention relates to a grown bioleather (1), which can be used in all sectors where animal skin and artificial leather are used, resembles a genuine leather both physically and optically, does not contain any chemicals, and has cellulose produced by microorganisms as its raw material and production method thereof. With the bioleather production method (100), a bioleather that can be named as vegan leather is obtained, which leather prevents climate change and environmental pollution by reducing carbon emissions and supports sustainable development and green economy. The said bioleather (1) involves a bacterial weaving process, can decompose in soil in a short amount of time, is highly environmentally friendly, flexible and has high tensile strength and high mechanical strength.

A laminated packaging material for packaging of liquid or semi-liquid food products comprises: a bulk layer comprising cellulose-based material, preferably paper or paperboard, a first outermost liquid-tight, heat-sealable thermoplastic layer, arranged on the outside of the bulk layer to constitute the outside of a package formed from the packaging material, a second innermost liquid-tight, heat-sealable thermoplastic layer arranged on the inside of the bulk layer to be in direct contact with the filled food product, and a barrier layer comprising a barrier substrate layer coated with a physical vapour deposited barrier coating comprising partially oxidised aluminium, the barrier coating having a thickness of 8 to 40 nm and a transmittance of 20 to 60%, the barrier layer being laminated between the bulk layer and the second, innermost liquid-tight, heat-sealable thermoplastic layer.

A polyisocyanurate insulation block assembly, including: (a) a foamed block of polyisocyanurate insulation; (b) a bottom facer underneath the foamed block of polyisocyanurate insulation; and (c) a top facer on top of the foamed block of polyisocyanurate insulation, wherein the top facer comprises an amorphous high performance plastic or a vulcanized fiber.
