Abstract: Polyethylene recyclable composite article comprises multilayer film having first layer comprising polyolefin with a melting point ?190° C., second layer comprising second polymer selected from amorphous polyamide, polyamide with melt point 191-205° C., polyvinylidene chloride w/melt point 191-205° C., and/or EVOH w/melt point 191-205° C., and tie layer between the first layer and the second layer. The multilayer film is bonded to itself or another component. The second polymer makes up 1 to 10 wt % of composite article weight, and composite article exhibits a composite melt index of from 0.5 to 4 grams/10 min at 190° C. and 2.16 kg in a Composite Melt Index Test. A corresponding polyethylene recyclable multilayer film also exhibits 0.5 to 4 grams/10 min at 190° C. and 2.16 kg in a Composite Melt Index Test.

Abstract: A method includes triggering an oxygen scavenger; and storing the scavenger in a container configured such that the oxygen scavenger exhibits no substantial oxygen scavenging activity while inside the container. The triggered oxygen scavenger can later be removed from the container, and used in packaging oxygen sensitive products. A stored oxygen scavenger, triggered, is also disclosed. A method of distributing an oxygen scavenger film includes providing a tubular film at a first location, the film having oxygen barrier and oxygen scavenger layers; triggering the oxygen scavenger; collapsing the film; rolling up the film; transporting the film to a second location; and triggering the oxygen scavenger. Another method of distributing an oxygen scavenger film includes providing an oxygen scavenger film at a first location; transporting the film to a second location; triggering the oxygen scavenger; storing the oxygen scavenger film in a container; and transporting the film to a third location.

Abstract: A method comprises subjecting ant oxygen scavenger to actinic radiation; and then optionally storing the oxygen scavenger in a container, the container configured such that the oxygen scavenger exhibits no substantial oxygen scavenging activity while inside the container. The dosed oxygen scavenger can later be removed from the container, if stored therein, subjected to a second dose of actinic radiation to trigger the oxygen scavenger, and used in packaging oxygen sensitive products. A stored oxygen scavenger, untriggered, is also disclosed.
