The presently disclosed subject matter is generally directed to a packaging film constructed from water-dispersible and/or biodegradable compositions. Particularly, the disclosed film comprises a first layer constructed from one or more water-dispersible materials, such as water-dispersible paper. The film further comprises a second layer constructed from one or more biodegradable materials, such as poly(hydroxyalkanoate). The first and second layers can be constructed to form a packaging material used to enclose a wide variety of products, including liquids and moisture-sensitive solids. Advantageously, the disclosed film (and associated packaging materials) are dissolvable in water and/or biodegrade when exposed to landfill conditions and/or water.

A container includes: a pulp-formed shell configured to contain a material therein, the pulp-formed shell having an opening through which the material may pass, the pulp-formed shell being formed from a first material; and, a collar having one or more engagement features configured to engage at least a portion of the pulp-formed shell by pinching, indenting, deforming, or any combination of pinching, indenting and deforming, at least a portion of the pulp-formed shell, the collar being formed from a second material.

Disclosed is a biodegradable, compostable and thermoshrinking film for packaging perishable goods, including a base structure substantially permeable to light radiation and including a first layer 10 μm thick, to directly contact the goods, and consisting of 89% in weight Mater-Bi® EF51L, 10% in weight BioGranic™ 3112 and 1% in weight Mater-B® master MEE. A second layer, overlapping the first, has a thickness equal to the one of the first layer and consists of 50% in weight Mater-Bi® EF51L and 50% in weight Mater-Bi® DF51A0. A third layer, overlapping the second, has a thickness equal to the one of the first layer and consists of 99% in weight Mater-Bi® EF51L and 1% in weight Mater-Bi® master MEE. A barrier layer including aluminum and/or aluminum oxide and/or silicon oxide and having a thickness ≤0.1 μm overlaps the third layer.

A convertible beverage container package having an integrated cooler compartment is provided that is sized to contain a number of cans in a box shape during transit, storage, and sale and which can be converted to a portable cooler configured to receive ice for cooling the cans contained therein. The shape of the convertible beverage container package allows a compact package for storage and transport, which can be selectively expanded to receive ice. In some cases, the received ice may surround two or more sides of the beverage cans. In one case, the shape of the convertible beverage container package may direct ice inside the package to contact the canned beverages on at least three sides.

Disclosed are apparatuses and methods including incorporation of additives into a bulk materials container by coating, impregnating, or otherwise applying the additives to at least a portion of the container and/or the material comprising the container. The container may be intended for containing bulk material used in a batch or continuous process, where the container can be consumed by the process along with the bulk material. The additives incorporated into the container can be substances that may be used by the process. The additives can modify the process. The additives can modify and/or condition the product being formed by the process.
