A sleeve-shaped outer part is formed from a blank cut that is wound to a sleeve and end sections are connected to one another in an overlap region. A predetermined separating region includes an actuator with a gripping section for the separation of separating sections located on both sides. The separating section, as seen in circumferential direction, is arranged so as to be laterally spaced apart by an offset with respect to the separating sections aligned to taper towards one another and an imaginary straight connecting line between them. A separate predetermined separating section is formed in the sleeve of the outer part between each gripping section end and the respective end of the separating sections. A combination packaging container includes a cup-shaped inner container having such an outer part and a method separates the predetermined separating region and the separation of the outer part from the inner container.

A method for recycling containers, including the following steps (1) to (4): a collecting step (1) of collecting containers, each of which is made of a sheet material including a plurality of layered film layers including a first resin film layer and a second resin film layer, is formed into a bag by attaching at least a part of a periphery of the sheet material to form a containing region for accommodating a content inside the second resin film layer, and includes, between the first resin film layer and the second resin film layer, a film attached portion and a filler enclosed portion; a shredding and washing step (2) of shredding the containers to obtain shreds, and washing the shreds; a recycled resin forming step (3) of forming a recycled resin by using the shreds; and a sheet material forming step (4) of forming at least a part of the sheet material by using the recycled resin.

A repulpable insulated container assembly having a container formed of paper such as corrugated cardboard or varying paper materials and defining an interior; and a repulpable insert placed within the interior of the container and formed of a first paper layer; and a paper fiber pad coupled to the first paper layer.

A reusable package is capable of being arranged in an expanded or device transport, state and a compact, or storage, state. In the compact state, the reusable package takes up less than half of the volume or space of the reusable package in the expanded state. The reusable package includes a base, a lid, and a sidewall support structure that is disposed between the base and the lid. The sidewall support structure has four sidewalls joined together in a rectangular shape. At least two of the sidewalls may have creases arranged along a height of the sidewalls. The sidewall support structure is collapsible at the creases when moved into the compact state.

A packing system for safely packing fragile household item for moving or storage. The packing system provides a number of packing devices which include a pair of ends bridged by a central portion, and a pair of elastic skirts along the central portion, all of which form a cup-like shape for receiving the fragile household item. A variety of sizes of the packing devices could be combined within a single kit. They could be color coded. An embodiment of the invention employs unused diapers as the packing devices. These could be donated or otherwise procured.

A repulpable insulated container assembly having a container formed of paper such as corrugated cardboard or varying paper materials and defining an interior; and a repulpable insert placed within the interior of the container and formed of a first paper layer; and a paper fiber pad coupled to the first paper layer.

I disclose a packaging article, comprising a wall having an outer surface configured to be visible to consumers and an inner surface configured to secure a product; wherein the wall comprises one or more regions configured to be extracted from the wall, wherein all borders of the region or regions are identified on the inner surface and the region or regions are configured to form a second article or articles other than the packaging article. I also disclose methods of forming the packaging article.

A method for producing an insulation material is described herein. The method includes mixing cellulose reinforcement fibers with thermoplastic binder fibers to form a mixture. In addition, the method includes applying heat to the mixture to melt the thermoplastic binder fibers such that the thermoplastic binder fibers bind the cellulose reinforcement fibers together to form a batt. The thermoplastic binder fibers make up about 0.5% to about 25% by weight of the batt. Furthermore, the method includes slicing the batt along a horizontal plane to form a first pad having a first thickness and a second pad having a second thickness. Each of the first and second thicknesses is greater than or equal to about 1/16 of an inch.
