Abstract: The present disclosure provides a flexible pouch. In an embodiment, the flexible pouch includes a first layer structure and a second layer structure. Each layer structure includes (i) an inner liner and (ii) an outer sheath. The first layer structure is superimposed on the second layer structure such that the inner liners oppose each other. The first layer structure superimposed upon the second layer structure defines a common peripheral edge. Each inner liner is composed of a flexible film of a polymeric material. Each outer sheath is composed of a post-consumer recycle (PCR) polymer material. The PCR polymer material has a GI200 value greater than 50. The flexible pouch includes a peripheral seal. The peripheral seal extends along at least a portion of the common peripheral edge. The peripheral seal seals the first layer structure to the second layer structure.

Abstract: Provided are films made from polymer blends including post-consumer resin (PCR). The films are formed from a polymer blend that includes a PCR, a low density polyethylene and/or ethylene/carbon monoxide copolymer (ECO copolymer), and a modification agent. The films, which include a PCR, contribute to improved sustainability and in aspects maintain or minimize the reduction of desirable properties, such as elastic recovery.
