A thermoplastic film and a thermoplastic bag made therefrom are provided. The thermoplastic film includes a surface and a water-soluble polymer zone disposed on and in contact with the surface. The water-soluble polymer zone includes a freshening active, a water-soluble, film-forming polymer, and a surfactant.

A bag for waste disposal is disclosed. The bag has a tubular body with a top open end and a bottom closed end, the tubular body having a first section adjacent the top open end, and at least a second section adjacent to the bottom closed end. The first section has a greater stretchability than the second section. The tubular body in a flattened two-fold condition has a pair of side edges extending from a top edge to a bottom edge, the top edge delimiting the top open end, the bottom edge delimiting the bottom closed end.

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 can provide a scent to the thermoplastic bag.

Antimicrobial and odor control coating compositions used to form a coating and/or adhesive film include a halo active aromatic sulfonamide compound of Formula (I):

##STR00001##

wherein the variables R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, X, M and n are disclosed herein. The compositions and processes utilizing the same can be used as a coating or layer to maintain disinfected surfaces with reduced microbial count over extended time periods ranging from multiple days up to several weeks. The compositions and processes utilizing the same can be used to form a coating or layer to maintain odor control on surfaces over extended time periods ranging from multiple days up to several weeks.

A reusable and disposable liner for large waste and recycling containers includes a waterproof or resistant material made of at least two pieces of the material comprising the body and the base. The base is constructed such that there is no seam below an upper edge of the base to allow for leakage of a liquid material.

A multi-layer thermoplastic film includes a first film of thermoplastic material, a second film of thermoplastic material bonded to the first film, and an odor control component disposed between the first film and the second film. A method of manufacturing a multi-layer thermoplastic film coextruding a plurality of layers to form a first film, coextruding a plurality of layers to form a second film, disposing at least one odor control component on at least one of the first film and the second film, and bonding the first and second films together such that the at least one substance is disposed between the first film and the second film.

A system for discarding hygiene products is provided. The system includes a housing, including a first storage compartment configured to house one or more unused hygiene products, a second storage compartment configured to house one or more unused waste receptacle bags, one or more deodorizer compartments configured to house one or more deodorizing materials, and a receptacle compartment configured to house a waste receptacle bag, the waste receptacle bag being configured to house one or more discarded hygiene products. The system further includes the one or more deodorizing materials and the waste receptacle bag.
