The present invention is directed to a thermoplastic bag comprised of a front panel and a back panel. The front panel and back panel are generally joined along a first side edge, a second side edge, and a bottom edge of the respective front panel and back panel. The front panel has a distal edge with the distal edge folded over the front panel to provide a hem and an overlap area immediately below the first hem. The overlap encapsulates a scent carrier that provides a scent to the thermoplastic bag.

A collapsible container has a collar that extends above the top opening and attaches at peripheral edges to a panel by a separable fastener.

A bag for receiving refuse may comprise a bag body, the bag body including an inside surface, an outside surface, and a rim defining a mouth. The bag may further comprise a first strip of material disposed on the inside surface of the bag body proximate the rim. The bag has an integrated polymer liner layer and is formed of a pair of valley folds and a pair of mountain folds.

A flexible container for packaging waste, including an outer casing forming the outer surface of the container and having, in a top part, an opening that can be opened or closed, an inner casing delimiting an Inner space of the container for receiving and accommodating the waste, disposed inside the outer casing, the inner casing including, in a top part, an opening that can be opened or closed by means of a closure system attached to the inner casing, and at least one reinforcing strip superposed at least partially on and attached to the closure system and to the inner casing.

A waste disposal apparatus, such as a waste disposal container or unit that is configured to receive used personal care products in a discreet and sanitary manner Instances of incontinence, menstruation or uncontrollable bodily functions can be a personal situation that is otherwise unknown to others. However, current receptacles available to dispose of used personal care products fail to provide for a hygienic, easily accessible and discreet that is designed for small spaces, such as a home bathroom or public restroom stall.

The present invention relates to polymeric bags, particularly polymeric drawstring trash bags. The present invention comprises a trash bag having an elastic drawstring. The elastic drawstring trash bag features an integrated short seal comprising an inner seal, an outer seal, and an intermediate seal. The integrated short seal functions to reduce the upper opening of the drawstring trash bag, while the elastic drawstring utilized with the bag provides a bag that allows the bag to fit snugly on many common trash receptacles.

Disposable tablecloth having drawstring handles and optional cinching elements.

A container is provided. The container comprises a cover, a base, and a body, which includes one or more spine structures and one or more door panels which may open and allow substantially lateral access to the interior of the container. The one or more door panels may be secured in a closed position by a latch mechanism. In a first mode, the latch mechanism is not released. In a second mode, the latch mechanism is released. The first mode and the second mode may operate concurrently and can be accessed separately via different mechanisms. A switch mechanism may alternate between the first mode and the second mode. Alternatively, a pedal includes a first pedal mechanism corresponding to the first mode and a second pedal mechanism corresponding to the second mode.

An apparatus for collecting and temporarily storing animal waste such as dog droppings includes a portable storage container with a pivoting lid movable between an open position and a closed position to keep contents dry. The container is adapted to receive and secure thereto a removable liner bag for easy disposal of the waste. A handle attached to the container pivots the lid open and closed with one position exposing the interior space from above for ease of adding and removing liner bags. A removable waste scooper is suspended from an outer wall of the container. The user need only touch the handle and a scooper when depositing droppings into the bag. The lid extends over an upper mouth of the container to prevent water from rain or sprinklers from seeping into the inner space. Custom compostable liner bags may be provided with lobes that are captured within bag retainers on front and rear walls.

Methods for making tip bonded formed laminates are made from multiple layers of formed substrates made from films which are bonded together at the tips of their formed protrusions. Tip bonded laminates can be designed with greater resistance to bending, improved resilience to compression, and can be patterned for directionally oriented responses to tensile loads. Also, tip bonded formed laminates made from multiple layers of formed substrates can use their layered structure to provide better aesthetics as well as better physical properties such as improved puncture resistance. Tip bonded formed laminates can be configured with thicker portions and designed patterns, which are appealing to consumers. A tip bonded formed laminate can be made from two or more formed substrates and can be used instead of a single, thick, unformed, substrate, so the laminate can use about the same amount of material, while still providing surprising functional benefits.
