Abstract: Multicomponent recyclate containing polyamide components can be utilized in packaging films, saving both material and energy resources. Migration of the odorous compounds typically resulting from overprocessed polyamide materials can be minimized or eliminated by introducing odor barrier layers on both sides of the recyclate material. The resulting films have a low odor profile and can be used to package organoleptically sensitive products.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a process for producing a thermoformable porous web using a mixture of cellulosic fibers and one or more thermoplastic materials, particularly by foam forming said mixture into a composite foam, and applying the foam into one or more layers on a support to obtain a porous pre-form web. The thus produced porous composite web can be further processed by compression molding to give a rigid high-strength composite structure, which is suitable for use in producing, e.g. panels or plates, packages or hygiene products, insulators or filters, or printed intelligence, electronics or microcellulose products.
