A degradable containment includes an outer structural layer constructed of a pulp material, a central carrier layer constructed of a biopolymer, and an interior nanomaterial layer constructed of a nanomaterial.

The present invention discloses composite substances that can be used in the production of objects and building materials by means of fusion thereof, and provide particular physical properties, including barrier to the transmission of ultraviolet radiation and to the transfer of liquids and gases, whereby said composite substances present thermoplastic matrixes that include synthetic polymers and/or bio-polymers, as well as further vegetal fibre associated with at least one sub-product from the processing of an edible vegetal substance, thereby providing a new economic utilization of such sub-products, and composite substances with a high degree of bio-degradation once of the disposal thereof.

The present invention further discloses uses of said composite substances and processes for production of said composite substances.

A combination set of eco-friendly recycling beverage container includes a container unit and a recycling storage unit. The container unit includes a soft part that has softness that folds and bends more easily than plastic or glass and stores a beverage therein, an inlet support part coupled around a beverage outlet at an upper end of the soft part, and a bottom support part coupled to a lower end of the soft part. The recycling storage unit is configured to accommodate and bind the container unit, the recycling storage unit having a multi-stage overlapping structure in which an overall height is reduced depending on a degree of reduced amount of the beverage contained in the container unit.

The present disclosure is directed to laminated articles, such as containers for food and beverages, that are biodegradable and/or paper recyclable. The articles include a shaped fibrous substrate that is air permeable and formed from plant fibers. A film made from a biodegradable and/or paper recyclable polymer is laminated to the substrate to produce a liquid impermeable barrier. The composite article is capable of being frozen and/or heated using, for instance, a microwave oven without delaminating.

The presently disclosed subject matter is generally directed to packaging film and packages constructed from water-dispersible and/or biodegradable material. The water-dispersible and biodegradable package consists of a first layer of a water-dispersible material constituting an interior of the package, and a second layer of a biodegradable material constituting the exterior of the package. The package may have printed indicium printed onto the exterior of the package.

Proposed is an apparatus and method for creating a formed article comprised of at least one layer of thermoplastic and at least one layer of cellulose fibers to create a composite article. The formed article may additionally be compressed to further reduce its thickness and improve its look and feel as well as mechanical properties.

A Gasket for a beverage pod, comprising: A beverage pod comprising an exterior portion and an interior portion, A gasket disposed about the exterior portion of the beverage pod, wherein the gasket provides a seal between a brewing device and the exterior portion of the beverage pod, the seal thereby providing a means to maintain a pressure differential between the interior portion of the beverage pod and the exterior portion of the beverage pod.

Packaging that includes a first layer of bubbles, wherein each of the bubbles comprises an outer shell that defines an interior cavity, and a first element and a second, different element provided within the interior cavity of at least one bubble. The at least one bubble is configured to inflate or degrade over time.

The utility model of the present invention relates to a modification in the configuration and structure of a can holder (10) produced from a biodegradable pulp paste, recycled, 100% biological, compostable and edible. This modification refers to a fin (13), protrusion, flange, tapered region or tongue of a thickness (E) between 0.75 mm. to 1.8 mm and whose radial (R1), in its widest region, is 20 mm of radius, placed in each of the corners of the can holder (10).

The invention relates to a food packaging unit (20) comprising a food container (1) for receiving a liquid, pasty or free-flowing food. The injection-moulded, single-component, cup-shaped base body (2) of the food container surrounds, with a wall (5), a bottom (6) and an outwardly projecting collar (7), an opening (4) which is closed by a food-container-covering film (10) applied to the collar (7). The food container (1) is injection-moulded in a single layer from a polymer blend comprising two components, a first component of which being PVOH or a PVOH copolymer. The food-container-covering film (10), which can be applied to the plastic food container (1) in order to close the opening (4) by sealing, welding or adhesion, comprises a cellulose-containing layer which is coated with PVOH, or a PVOH polymer blend layer.
