In some implementations, a eompstable package Jing wrap can be roll t save the storage space or being moved easily {0018} FIGS. 14 and 1B lose fist implementation ‘of packaging wrap 100 that is composable or rexyelable FIG. 1A isa perspostive view ofthe ist nyplementation of the packaging wrap 100i an wnglled form and T1G. 11 is a perspective view of the first implementation of the pack= ‘ging Wrap 100 in rolled foam, {0019} Refering to FIG. 1A, in the unrolled stated, she packaging wrop 100 has a fat retangularabape, «the ‘wrap is sheet, In particular, the wrap 100 provides an Clogsted strip. The stip can sharp edges, but in some Jmmpemeatations, ges ofthe compostble packaging wrap 100 can be rounded. In some implementations, tbe come posable pockiging wrap 100 can havea particular shape to ‘wrap particular tem. For example the compostable pack ‘aging weap 100 can have @ bole shape t0 wrap 2 ine bot 10020] The compostable packaging wrap 100 can be pei marly compose of compostble material. For example, Packaging rap 100 canbe primarily composed ofa starch, chav a grin starch (eg. a com starch, © wheat starch oF Sorghum, also known as milo), a woot starch (eg. 8 potato Src), or a vegeuble starch, In some implement ‘combinations of diferent starches canbe used implementations «sth can be mined with one or mare ompistable o eeyelble ober materials, ea plat fiber, Thestarch can provide atleast 5%, eg, at leat 75%, 08 at Teas 85%, Og at least of 95-99% by weight of the packaging rap 160, In some implementations, the packas- sng wrap 100 consists of seh, In some iniplemestations, the packaging wep 100 can be form sing an extasion press [0021] In some implementations other materials that do ot iaterfere withthe compostable satire ofthe packaging ‘wrap 100, eg softener to improve adbesion ofthe starch, fo preserve or anti-fungal agent, cn be present, but ‘nly in sal quantis, For example, at eas 85%, eat least 90%, e, 50-98% oF 95.99%, by Weiaht of the compostable packaging wrap 100 is made of starch, Ply~ Vinyl akohol ean be present, ex. 510% by weight 10022] In some implementations, the packaging wrap 100 3s entirely compostable, ic, consists of compostable mat- rials In some implementations, the packoging wrap 100 is ‘composed of a combination of comportable and recyclable materials For example, in some implementations, ational tales, ea water-reurding materials are added the ‘composable materi, eg, the starch, such tat he combi nation i eoyelable 10023} Insome implementations, she material of the pack- aging wrap 100 can bes foam sterile, iach small pores oF voids spread substantially uniformly throng the Packaging Wrap 100, For example, 10-80% ofthe volume of the packaging wrep 100 can be pores or voids, ©, 25-75%, 25.50%, 10-25%, and 80-75% The maxim size ofthe pores oF voids can be about 1 mum. Although the packaging trap 100 could be # fon mitral iti generally income pressible {0024} The packaging wrap 100, in unre and nosed Tom, ean hs 9 length that is greater than is wid For ‘cxampe, a lenath L1 ofthe compostable packaging wrap 400 canbe between 10 inches and $00 fet nd a width WA Jan. 30, 2020 of the compostable packaging wrap 100 can be between 6 jnches and 48 inches, In thie example, the size of the compostable packaging wrap 100 represents the size of the entire unrolled! eompostable packaging wmp 100, However, the size of the compostable packaging Wrap 100 is not Timited to these example numbers. The eompostable pock- ‘aging wrap 100 can have any suitable size to wrap an tem. [025] The compostable packaging weup 100 also has depth DI (ie. a thickness) tha i less than the width WL ‘The depth DI of the compostable packaging wrap 100 is sch that the compostable packaging wrap 100 can be ‘wrapped around a central post or tube, es shown in FIG. 18. In panicular, the depth D1 of the packaging wrap 100 is ‘within range such that, in conjunetion withthe material ‘composition, the packaging wrap is sullicintly exible so as to weap around a central post having a particular diameter ‘without breaking or permanent deformation. For example, the diameter of the center pole can be between "4 inebes and 5 inches, If the depth of the compostable packaging wrap 100 is too large, the compostable packaging. wrap 100 cannot be rolled. For example, where the compostable packaging wrap 100 is primarily formed of starch, the depth ff the compostable packaging wrap 100 can be bebween inches and 2.5 inches to be rolled. The maximum thickness ofthe eompostable packaging wrap 100 can be different for various types of starch, [0026] For some materials, the same material ean have silerent densities depending on the manufactoring process, eg, the degree of compression ofthe starch. In such cases the density ofthe packaging wrap 100 can be selected, eg. by selection of an appropriate processing parameters. Tor ‘many materials, the greater the density (e., the higher the degree of compaction), the less flexible the material is. in such cases, the density of the packaging wrap 100 can be Selected such that dhe compostable packaging Wrap 100 can have enough flexibility to be rolled as deseribed above Where the compostable packaging wrap 100 is primarily formed of starch, the density of the compostable packaging wrap 100 can be about 0.25-40 giem', 6, 044.0 glen 08-20 pom? L035 glem? [0027] In some implementations, the density ofthe pack- aging wrap 100 is substantially uniform. e., the material lacks pores or pores are distributed substantially uniformly through the sheet, and the degree of compaction of the vateial is similarly substantially uniform. However, in some implementations, the density of the packaging wrap 100 can Vary along the length or width of the shoe, the degree of compaction of the material can vary [0028] Referring to FIG. 1B, the compostable packaging \wrup 100 js in a rolled form. In some implementations, dhe packaging wrap 100 is rolled around « center pole 102. in some implementations, the eener pole 102 can be primarily formed of compestabie material For example, the conter pole 102 can be primarily formed of starch. The starch for the center pole 102 can be any type of starch described above with reference to FIG. 1A or any combination of wo ‘or more starches deseribed above with reference 0 FIG. 1A. In some implementations, the compostable material for the center pole 102 can be the same as the compostable material ofthe compostable packaging wrap 100, In these implemen- tations the cost to manufacture the center pole 102 can be reduced because the center pole 102 and the compostable packaging wrap 100 are fomed of the same eompostable paterial. In some implementations, the compostable mateUS 2020/0031556 Al rial for the evater pole 102 can be different fom the ‘compostable material of the compostable packaging wrap 4100. a thse implementations, the eompostable material for the center pole 102 can be harder than the compostable material forthe compostable packaging wrap 100 such that the rolled compostable packaging wrap 100 can maintain its shape, Tn some implementations, the eompostable packaging ‘rap 100 can be rolled without a center pole 10029] The compostable packaging wrep 100 can be ‘wound around the center axis (eg, the center pole) multiple times, For example, sshere the compostable packaging wrap 100 is rolled, « radius RL of the rolled compostable pack ‘aging wrap 100 can be between | inch and 20 inches. The rads ofthe compostable packaging wrap 100 should not be Timited to these particular uabers, but can be ay suitable umber, [0030] FIGS, 24.20 illstrate a second implementation of acompostable packaging wrap 200. FIG. 2A isa perspective view of the second implementation of the compostable packaging wrap 200 in an unrolled form, FIG. 2B is ‘ross-sectional view of one example of the compostable packaging wrap 200 in an unrolled form, FIG. 2C is @ ‘cross-sectional View of another example of the compostable packaging wrap 200 in un unrolled fom, and FIG. 2D is @ perspective view of the second implementation of the com- Postble packaging wrap 200 in a rolled form. The com postable packaping wrap 200 can be the same as or similar to the compostable packaging wrap 100 described above with reference 10 FIGS. 1A and 1B except differences described below: [0031] Referring to FIG, 2, the compostable packaging ‘wrap 200 incluces multiple sections, ga fist section 210, ‘anda second section 220, that are respectively divided By 8 scored of perforated portion, eg, a scored or perforated portion 230, tha permits easier manual detachment af one Section from an adjacent section, The line of the score oF perforation 230 can extend across the width of the stip of the packaging wrap 200. 10032] In some implementations, the size of the each section of the muldple sections can be the same. For ‘example, a leagth L2 ofthe first setion 210 ean be the same ‘8a length 2 of the second soetion 220, In some imple mentations, diffrent sections can have dilferet sizes, Por ‘example, the length L2 of the first section 210 can be different from the length L2! of the second section 220. In this example, a user can use diferent sizes of wraps to wrap different sizes of items. That is, a user can use a smaller Section to wrap a small item and a larger section to wrap & Tange item 10033] Referring w FIG. 2B, the scored or perforated portion 230 includes first score 230a that s formed on atop surface of the compostable packoging wrap 200 and a second score 230) tt is formed on a bottom surface of the ‘compostable packaging wrap 200, The scones 230 and 2305 ‘ean include muliple grooves fomed on surfices of the ‘compostable packaging wrap 200, For example, the grooves forthe fist score 2¥0a can have a depth D2 andthe grooves forthe socond score 230 ean have a depth D3. The depths D2and D3 can be between 4 inches and 2.5 inches. In some ‘implementations, the depth D2 can be the same as the depth 3. In some implementations, the depth D2 can be diferent from the depth D3. 10034) In some implementations, where the compostable packaging wrap 200 is primarily formed of a starch, the Jan. 30, 2020 {depths D2 and DS should be determined such that a section Js not easily detached from the compostable packaging wrap 200 before user detaches the section fom the compostable pockaging wnup 200. Moreover, when the compostable packaging wrap 200 is rolled, a section ean be detached because of the tension between two sections, eg the frst section 210 and the socond section 220, Ths, the depths D2 And DS should be shallow enough not to he detached by the tension. In these implementations, the depths D2 and D3 can be between Yor inches and 1.2 inches, [0035] In some implementations, the scored or perforated portion 230 can include grooves that are formed only one surface of the compostable packaging wrap 200. For ‘example, the scored or periorated portion 230 can include ‘only the fist score 230 that is formed on the top surface of the compostable packaging wrap 200. Altematively, the seored or perforated portion 230 can include only the second score 2300 that is formed on the bottom surface of the ‘compostable paekaging wrap 200, In these implementations, the depth ofthe groves can be larger than the depth of the arooves where the scored or perforated portion 230 includes both the fist score 230g and the second score 230. [0036] Referring 10 FIG. 2C. In some implementations the scored or perforated portion 230 can have perforations that extend entirely though the sheet ofthe packoging wrap 200. A perforation can have a length 1.2". For example, the Tenth L2" can be between 2 inches and 20 inches [0037] Referring o FIG. 2D, the eompostable packaging \wrop 200 is in a rolled form, The rolled compostable packaging wrap 200 can have a radius R2. In some imple- ‘mentions, where the compostable packaging wrap 200 is primarily made ofa starch, the radius R2of the compostable packaging Wrap 200 can be determined based on the density of the starch material. In some implementations, the radius 2 ofthe compostable packaging wrap 200 can be the same fs the radius RI of the compostable packaging wrap 100 Seseribed with reference to FIG. 1B, In other implement tions, 10 prevent a section from being detached from the compostable packaging wrap 200 duet the tension between ‘so adjacent sections, the ads R2 can be smaller than the rads RU. For example, the radius R2 can be between | ine and 20 inches. The radius of the compostable packaging ‘wrap 200 should not be limited to this partieular number, but fan be any suitable number [0038] FIGS, 3A v0 3C illustrate first implementation of | ‘8 compostable or recyclable packaging wrop 300, FIG. 3A is a perspective view of the compostable or recyclable packaging wrap 300 in an unrolled form, FIG. 3B is a ‘cross-sectional view of the compostable or reeyelabe pack- aging wrap 300 in an unrolled form, and FIG. 3C is perspective view of the compostable or recyclable packag- dng wrap 200 in rolled form, The compostable or rocy- lable packaging wrap 300 can be the sime as or similar to the compostable packaging wrap 200 described above with reference to FIGS. 24 to 2D except dillerences described below. 0039} Referring to FIG. 3A, the compostable or reey- lable packaging rap 300 includes multiple sections, ei, f first section 310 and a second section 320, that are respectively divided by a scored or perforated portion, ez. 4 scored of perforated portion 330. In some implementa. tions, the size ofthe each section of the multiple setions ean be the same, For example, a length 3 of the first section 310 can be the same as a length L3" of the second seetion 320.US 2020/0031556 Al Jn some implementations, the size of each section of the rulliple sections ean be sillerent For example, the lent 13 of the fist section 310 can be different from the Kenath L¥ ofthe second seetion 320. In this example a user can use diferent si of wraps wrap diferent sizes of items. That js, a user can use a staller section o Wrap a sal item and a farger sation t wrap a lame item 10040] 1n some implementations eaeh section of the eo Postable of recyclable packaging wrap 300 includes a pad Portion in a central area of the section and a boundary Porton that surounds the pad portion. For example, the fist Section 310 inchides pod portion 312 and a boundary Portion 34 that surrounds the pad portion 312 and the Second section 320 includes a pad portion 322 and bound- try portion 324 that surrounds the pad portion 322. The boudary portion 324 can have a margin M between the pad portion 322 and the edge of the first section 310. For ‘example, the mangin M can be between 1 inches and S inches. The margin isnot limited to these numbers butea be ‘any suitable number. 10041] Refering to FIG. 3B, the compostable or reey= ‘lable packaging wrap 300 includes multiple films, e@., 3 first film 301 and a second fim 302, and compostable or recyclable pads, e.g fit pad 342 anda second pad M4, sandwiched between the films, For example, in the pad orton 312 of the ist section 310 the top halves of the pads 542, 344 contaets the frst film 301 andthe bottom halves of the pads 342, 344 contact the second film 302. In the bounidary portion 344 ofthe first section 340, to films 301 snd 302 are coupled together ca, by adhesive. In some implemeatations, the films 301 and 302 canbe secured tthe pads 342.344 usiog an alhesive. In some implementations the pads 342, 344 fic inthe pockets Formed by the films 301 snd 302, In some implementations, the pads 342, 344 are substantially constrained in the pockets, ear is evacuated from the pockets. In some implementations, the pads 342, 4 sit loose, eg. are slidable, within the pockets foemed by te files 301, 303 0042] _In some implementations, a depth of each film ean be a half ofa depth D4, For example, the depth ofthe film ‘ean be Vic inches and 1.25 inches In some implementations, ‘depth ofthe pad, eg. the first pad 342, ean be between Yi inches and inches. However the depth DS is not imited to these numbers. The depth DS ean be any’ suitable number 10043] In some implementations, the scored or perforated portion 330 includes o fist scare 33a that is formed on a surface of the ist film 301 and a second score 3806 that is formes ona surface ofthe second film 302. The scores 330 and 330 can include multiple grooves formed. on te Surfaces ofthe ils 301 and 302. The wo films 307 and 302 aajacen tothe scored or perforate portion 330 are coupled ‘ogerber without any pad between the two films 30 and 302. Altematvely, in some implementations, the seared or per= Toratel portion 330 can. have perforations that extend ‘entirely through the sheet of the packaging wrap 300 1004] In some implementations, the pads, eg. the fist pad $42 and the sevond pad 344, canbe primarily formed oF ‘Compostable material. For example, the compostable mate- Fil for the pads 342 and 344 is primarily a starch, e., @ aman starch (¢. a.com starch, a wheat starch or sorghum, ‘also known as milo), a mot starch (¢. @ potato starch), oF vegetable starch, Ia some implementations,» combinations ‘of diffrent starches can be used forthe pads 342 and 344, Jan. 30, 2020 In some implementations, at leat 85%, ¢, 9098%, ofthe pd portion 312 can include a starch by weight ofthe pad portion 312, [0045] In some implementations, the films, eg. the fist til 301 and the socond film 302, can be compostable, ¢ 2. 4 bioplaste that meets ASTM 136400 standards, Example ‘materials for a compostable film include polymers based on fone oF more of polyloctic acid (PLA) poly(hetasamino) esters (PBA), polyhydroxyalkanoate (PH), polyeapral tones (PCL), polybutyrate adipate terephthalate (PBAT) polyviaylalcobol (PVA) of ethylene vinyl alcobol (EVOH), Tnaddition, any combinations ofthese materials ean be used {or the films 301 and 302, For example, a combination of PBAT and PE ean be used for the films 301 ad 302. As nother example, combination of PF and PLA can be used {or the films 301 and 302. In some implementations, the polymer can be mixed with an organic proc, ea starch, [0046] In some implementations. the films, eg. the fist lik 301 and the second film 302, can be recyclable, stale material forthe ecyeluble film is polyetiylene, Por ‘example, the films 301 and 302 can include LDPE, MDPE, HDPE, or polyethylene terepiblate. An advantage of poly” ethylene is ease of fabrication and good water resistance [0047] In some implementations, the films, eg. the fist ik 301 andthe second film 302, can be paper sheets, the paper is thin enough or is perlorated, the paper is com- postable. Optionally, the paper can be Tined with a wat epellent coating. Fither the inner surface ofthe film, or the ‘outer surface, of both can be lined with the water-repellent coating. The Waterrepellent coating can be a compostale material, e., wax. In this example, the film with paper and coating is compostable, Alternatively, the waterrepellent coating can be a recyclable material. In this example, the layer with paper and coating is recyclable [0048] Referring to FIG. 3C, the compostable or reey- lable packaging wrap 300 isin a rolled form, The rolled compostable or recyclable packaging wrap 300 can have & rds R3. In some implementations, where the compostale ‘or recyclable packaging weap 300 includes the pals, eg, the pads 342 and M4, betwen the two films, eg. the films 301 And 302, the radius R3 of the compostable or recyclable packaging wrop 300 can be determined based on the density ‘ofthe materials forthe films or the pads andor the depth DS of the pads and the depth D4 ofthe films.
