  • the present disclosure further relates to a method for making a multi-layer film comprising a synthetic polymer derived from a renewable resource.
  • the method comprises the steps of providing a renewable resource; deriving an intermediate monomer from the renewable resource; polymerizing the intermediate monomer to form a synthetic polymer and incorporating the synthetic polymer into a multi-layer film.
  • the present disclosure further relates to providing one or more of the multi-layer films to a consumer and communicating reduced petrochemical usage to the consumer.
  • the synthetic polymer derived from renewable resources may undergo additional process steps prior to incorporation into the multi-layer film.
  • the present disclosure further relates to a method for making the layered arrangement for a multi-layer film.
  • Multi-layer films can be made by known layering processes typically using a uni-axial cast or planar sheet process or lamination.
  • Coextruded cast film or sheet structures typically have 2 to 5 layers; however, cast film or sheet structures including hundreds of layers are known.
  • early multi-layer processes and structures are shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,565,985; U.S. Pat. No. 3,557,265; and U.S. Pat. No. 3,884,606.
  • WO 2008/008875 discloses a related art method of forming multi-layered structures having many, for example fifty to several hundred, alternating layers of film.
  • the film structures can also be made as described in a tenter-frame technique, such as that used for oriented polypropylene.
  • the multi-layer films can be laminated onto another layer(s) in a secondary operation, such as that described in Packaging Foods With Plastics, by Wilmer A. Jenkins and James P. Harrington (1991) or that described in “Coextrusion For Barrier Packaging” by W. J. Schrenk and C. R. Finch, Society of Plastics Engineers RETEC Proceedings, Jun. 15-17 (1981), pp. 211-229, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. If a monolayer film layer is produced via tubular film (i.e., blown film techniques) or flat die (i.e., cast film) as described by K. R. Osborn and W. A. Jenkins in “Plastic Films, Technology and Packaging Applications” (Technomic Publishing Co., Inc.
  • the film must go through an additional post-extrusion step of adhesive or extrusion lamination to other packaging material layers to form a multi-layer film. If the film is a coextrusion of two or more layers (also described by Osborn and Jenkins), the film may still be laminated to additional layers of packaging materials, depending on the other physical requirements of the final film. “Laminations Vs. Coextrusion” by D. Dumbleton (Converting Magazine (September 1992), also discusses lamination versus coextrusion.
  • the multi-layer films contemplated herein can also go through other post extrusion techniques, such as a biaxial orientation process.
  • a suitable validation technique is through 14 C analysis.
  • a small amount of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is radioactive.
  • This 14 C carbon dioxide is created when nitrogen is struck by an ultra-violet light produced neutron, causing the nitrogen to lose a proton and form carbon of molecular weight 14 which is immediately oxidized to carbon dioxide.
  • This radioactive isotope represents a small but measurable fraction of atmospheric carbon.
  • Atmospheric carbon dioxide is cycled by green plants to make organic molecules during photosynthesis. The cycle is completed when the green plants or other forms of life metabolize the organic molecules, thereby producing carbon dioxide which is released back to the atmosphere. Virtually all forms of life on Earth depend on this green plant production of organic molecules to grow and reproduce. Therefore, the 14 C that exists in the atmosphere becomes part of all life forms, and their biological products.
  • fossil fuel based carbon does not have the signature radiocarbon ratio of atmospheric carbon dioxide.
  • the modern reference standard used in radiocarbon dating is a NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) standard with a known radiocarbon content equivalent approximately to the year AD 1950.
  • AD 1950 was chosen since it represented a time prior to thermo-nuclear weapons testing which introduced large amounts of excess radiocarbon into the atmosphere with each explosion (termed “bomb carbon”).
  • the AD 1950 reference represents 100 pMC.
  • a biomass content result is derived by assigning 100% equal to 107.5 pMC and 0% equal to 0 pMC. In this regard, a sample measuring 99 pMC will give an equivalent bio-based content value of 92%.
  • a multi-layer film comprises a bio-based content value from about 10% to about 100% using ASTM D6866-10, method B. In another embodiment, a multi-layer film comprises a bio-based content value from about 20% to about 100% using ASTM D6866-10, method B. In yet another embodiment, a multi-layer film comprises a bio-based content value from about 50% to about 100% using ASTM D6866-10, method B.
  • a representative sample of the component must be obtained for testing.
  • a representative portion of the multi-layer film can be ground into particulates less than about 20 mesh using known grinding methods (e.g., Wiley® mill), and a representative sample of suitable mass taken from the randomly mixed particles.
  • the present disclosure relating to multi-layer films derived from renewable resources further provides means for which to communicate an environmental message to a consumer. Such messages could be displayed on the multi-layer films, in such circumstances where the films are used as packaging materials for absorbent articles (e.g., diapers).
  • the related environmental message may convey the benefits or advantages of the multi-layer film comprising a polymer derived from a renewable resource.
  • the related environmental message may identify the multi-layer film as: being environmentally friendly or Earth friendly; having reduced petroleum (or oil) dependence or content; having reduced foreign petroleum (or oil) dependence or content; having reduced petrochemicals or having components that are petrochemical free; and/or being made from renewable resources or having components made from renewable resources.
  • This communication is of importance to consumers that may have an aversion to petrochemical use (e.g., consumers concerned about depletion of natural resources or consumers who find petrochemical based products unnatural or not environmentally friendly) and to consumers that are environmentally conscious. Without such a communication, the benefit of the present disclosure may be lost on some consumers.
  • the communication may be effected in a variety of communication forms. Suitable communication forms include store displays, posters, billboard, computer programs, brochures, package literature, shelf information, videos, advertisements, internet web sites, pictograms, iconography, or any other suitable form of communication. The information could be available at stores, on television, in a computer-accessible form, in advertisements, or any other appropriate venue. Ideally, multiple communication forms may be employed to disseminate the related environmental message.
  • the communication may be written, spoken, or delivered by way of one or more pictures, graphics, or icons.
  • a television or internet based-advertisement may have narration, a voice-over, or other audible conveyance of the related environmental message.
  • the related environmental message may be conveyed in a written form using any of the suitable communication forms listed above.
  • the related environmental message may also include a message of petrochemical equivalence.
  • Many renewable, naturally occurring, or non-petroleum derived polymers are known. However, these polymers often lack the performance characteristics that consumers have come to expect when used in conjunction with multi-layer films. Therefore, a message of petroleum equivalence may be necessary to educate consumers that the polymers derived from renewable resources, as described above, exhibit equivalent or better performance characteristics as compared to petroleum derived polymers.
  • a suitable petrochemical equivalence message can include comparison to multi-layer films that do not have a polymer derived from a renewable resource. For example, a suitable combined message may be, “Packaging for Product Brand A with an environmentally friendly material is just as effective as Packaging for Product Brand B.” This message conveys both the related environmental message and the message of petrochemical equivalence.
