Abstract: A sustainable tubular container that is fully recyclable by curbside recycling, repulpable and home compostable and is easy to use, prevents undesired leakage of the consumer product material, can withstand repetitive usage, and overcomes deficiencies of existing all paper consumer product container systems. The tubular container is primarily paper based that may be recycled easily in the existing paper recycling stream with minimal non-paper parts that also are easily biodegradable, recyclable curbside or home compostable. Such a consumer product container preferably is made of paper-based materials with an inner liner or a coating and otherwise, it is made of PHA, PHB and/or other compostable moldable materials.

Abstract: A system of reusable and nestable containers for consumer-packaged goods comprising modular components including different size and configuration cup portions configured to nest with one another to be stackable for storage and shipping; bottle top portions removably coupled to the cup portions and nest with one another to be stackable for storage and shipping; and lid portions removably coupled to the cup portions and being configured to nest with one another to be stackable for storage and shipping. The containers allow for shared or “pooled” packaging across brands designed to nest for reverse logistics.

Abstract: Polymerization processes and polymers formed therefrom are described herein. The polymerization processes generally include contacting an olefin monomer with a catalyst system to form polymer within a reaction vessel, withdrawing polymer from the reaction vessel, contacting the polymer with one or more initiation additives to form a modified polymer and extruding the modified polymer.
