A T-Sack bag is also taught that is comprised of flexible film comprised of polyolefin resins that are comprised of either PCR or PIR resins wholly or in combination with virgin resins to maintain adequate mechanical properties of the T-Sack. The bag further comprises an organic additive to aid in biodegradation of the bag.

Description

    RELATED PATENT APPLICATIONS
  • The present invention is based on provisional patent application No. 62/519,554.
    • FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to a bag or cover used to protect large and/or bulky objects from soilage, moisture and other damage during storage and transport. The bag or cover comprises a flexible material comprising some combination of polyethylene, polypropylene, or another polyolefin plastic which is made using a virgin resin (resin produced directly from raw material feedstocks which have never been used or processed before), PCR (post-consumer recycled−resin resulting from a plant processing plastic products turned in by consumers for recycling), PIR (post-industrial resin−resin resulting from a plant processing scrap/waste resin from the plastic manufacturing process and also known as pre-consumer recycled), or any combination of same. An organic additive can be added to aid in the decomposition of the bag or cover. The invention further relates to a T-sack made using PCR resin, PIR resin, virgin resin, or any combination of the same. An organic additive can be added to aid in the decomposition of the T-sack.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • The prior art teaches that most bags and covers are made from 100% virgin resin to achieve desired mechanical properties (e.g., tear, puncture, abrasion, fatigue) for use in the transportation, storage, and covering of objects.
  • Recently, many state governments (e.g California, Oregon, Wisconsin) have begun requiring that certain plastics contain a mandated percentage of re-processed resin. Such legislation recognizes that although recycling does not reduce energy use or emissions to the degree that reuse does, mandating re-processed content sets forces in motion that will replace virgin material with reclaimed resources.
  • The present invention teaches that certain combinations of virgin and re-processed resins or 100% re-processed resins can be successfully used to create bags covers and T-Shirt bags (commonly known as T-sacks) with thicknesses under 10 ml that provide adequate mechanical properties so that they can be used as it relates to bags and covers, in the transportation, storage and covering of objects, and as it relates to T-Sacks, in the carrying of small objects.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to a bag or cover used to protect large and/or bulky objects, including, mattresses, soft home goods and furniture from soilage, moisture and other damage during transport and storage.
