A container with a shell and lining within its interior is provided. The shell and/or lining can be fabricated from a biodegradable, recyclable, and/or compostable material. The lining can be configured as a parison, a preform, and/or other mass that is capable of being expanded. The lining can be inserted within a cavity of the shell and caused to expand to form an expanded state. The lining, in the expanded state, may be used as a barrier, preventing beverage that is inserted into the container from making contact with the shell. The lining, in the expanded state, may be configured to maintain contact with an inner surface of the shell so as to provide adequate shock absorption. The lining can be a thin film, providing an overall thinner construction and/or an overall lighter construction can be used to fabricate the container.

Disclosed is a method to form arbitrarily shaped, uniform, lightweight, thermally insulating and acoustically absorptive automotive components with controllable density, thickness, porosity, and surface integrity. The method is based on natural cellulosic fibers such as those found in cardboard and paper and uses a thermoplastic fiber and particle slurry to form fusible components. The method produces components having the benefit of commercially available thermoformed fiber mats or open-cell extruded foam components with excellent acoustical properties, enhanced thermal insulation, and are light weight, which limits engine inefficiency, and the high cost of such products so as to allow large scale implementation.

Consistently-automated production machines allocated in a pulp-molding production line and a method for prepare a dried paper article (i.e. a filter tip, a cartridge container, or a component of a packaging tube) is introduced herein. It can not only resolve the technical problems of the existing pulp-molding fabrication method that is incapable of producing an elongated cylindrical/tubular component, having a ratio, greater than one, of a maximum longitudinal height thereof being relative to a maximum transverse width thereof, but can also save its working cycle time, benefit its mass production, and assure its higher product yield and quality.

A method is presented for forming a tampon applicator. The method includes providing an applicator comprising an outer member and an inner member. Each of the outer member and the inner member comprise cellulosic material. The method further includes loading the outer member into a compression device. The method further includes compressing the outer member to form a grip region. The grip region comprises greater than four faces that are circumferentially formed about the outer member. The method further includes unloading the outer member comprising the grip region and a barrel region from the compression device.
