A repulpable moisture resistant protein tray formed of thermo-molded pulp comprised of recycled paper pulp impregnated with a hydrogenated triglyceride. The protein tray has an outer surface coated with an emulsion of styrene acrylic to provide a moisture resistance repulpable and recyclable tray. The protein tray has a flat bottom and an integral sidewall forming an interior volume. An integral edge extends peripherally outward from an upper edge of the sidewall forming a substantially oval shape.

The invention relates to an electromagnetic radiation blocking label arrangement and to a labelled item comprising said label arrangement. According to an embodiment the label arrangement comprises at least one label component including a shrinkable film and at least one metal deposition layer on a surface of the shrinkable film. The shrinkable film is uniaxially stretched so as to form shrinking capability for the film when exposed to an external energy.

Described are methods, systems, and apparatus relating to a modular data center. In some embodiments, a modular data center includes one or more data modules. The modular data center includes a network module connected to the one or more data modules, the network module containing equipment for facilitating data communications by the one or more data modules. The modular data center includes a power module connected to the one or more data modules and the network module, the power module containing electronics equipment for conditioning and distributing power to the one or more data modules and the network module. In the modular data center, each module of the one or more data modules, the network module, and the power module comprises: an enclosure defining an internal space; a floor within the enclosure separating the internal space into an above-floor space and a sub-floor space; and a plurality of bays in the subfloor space, each bay of the plurality of bays configured to contain a field-replaceable environmental management component.

The invention relates to a packaging material comprising: a paperboard substrate comprising a first and a second side, at least one barrier layer applied on the first side of the substrate, the barrier layer comprising a water-soluble polymer selected from the group of polyvinyl alcohol, a copolymer of ethylene and polyvinyl alcohol, starch, carboxymethylcellulose and combinations thereof in an amount of at least 50 weight %, based on the dry weight of the barrier layer, an extrusion coated layer of a polyolefin on the barrier layer, and at least one dispersion barrier layer applied on the second side of the substrate, which at least one dispersion barrier layer forms a printing surface of the packaging material. The invention further relates to a method of manufacturing a respective packaging material.

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 double-layer container comprises an inner container made of plastic and having a bottom, and a cylindrical outer layer made of paper. The outer layer is sleeved outside the inner container, a locking structure is provided between the outer layer and the inner container to snap the outer layer on an outer peripheral surface of the inner container, and the outer layer is provided with a tear tab capable of tearing and destroying the outer layer. The double-layer container reinforces the strength of the inner container and the outer layer in a radial direction through an annular groove and an annular protrusion respectively, so that the overall strength is high, and quick recycle is realized through the tear tab provided on the outer layer.

A container comprising a bottom and a sidewall extending upwards from the bottom and terminating at an upper free edge, said upper free edge of the sidewall forming an opening of the container, said sidewall and said bottom comprising an outer paperboard layer and a thin inner plastic foil layer, formed in a thermoforming operation, said upper free edge of the sidewall comprising a rim portion extending past the outer surface of the paperboard layer of the sidewall. The rim portion comprises a rolled up portion of an upper portion of the outer paperboard layer of the sidewall, said rolled up portion being covered by a portion of the thin inner plastic foil layer. In this way, a stiff upper rim is provided, while allowing the use of a very thin inner plastic foil layer.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including a reusable recyclable packing pouch are described. The reusable recyclable packing pouch includes a plastic container, a paperboard jacket, and an adhesive coating. The plastic container includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has a shaped region with a flange extending around a perimeter of the shaped region. The second portion is sized to mate with the flange such as to define a space between facing surfaces of the second portion and the shaped region of the first portion. The paperboard jacket comprising an aperture defined therethrough. The aperture is sized to permit the shaped region of the plastic container to pass through while the flange extends past edges of aperture and overlaps with a region of paperboard jacket at a periphery of the aperture. The adhesive coating located on a surface of the paperboard jacket.
