A high barrier packaging film has an outer layer of a high molecular polymer or a spunbond nonwoven fabric comprising a high molecular polymer, a passive barrier layer of the same high molecular polymer with nanoparticles of bentonite clay dispersed therein, an active barrier layer of the same high molecular polymer with desiccant particles dispersed therein, and a lamination layer of the same high molecular polymer. The outer layer, passive barrier layer and active barrier layer are compound laminated with the lamination layer to form the high barrier packaging film. Because the layers are all formed of a same polymer, such as polyethylene, and because there are no metal components in the layers used to create the film, the high barrier packaging film is readily recyclable.
