A tear resistant seal made from a recyclable multilayer structure that consists
of an oriented polymer film layer a thermal bonding polymer layer on the oriented
polymer layer inner surface substantially coextensive thereto, and a reinforcing
scrim polymer layer also having an inner surface adjacent and substantially coextensive
with the thermal bonding polymer layer. The polymer film layer and the bonding
polymer layer are co-extruded layers having a chemical composition that permits
recycling without separating the layers. The scrim layer also has a similar chemical
composition, permitting recycling following lamination, thereby permitting the
recovery of waste material during production runs by the simple recycling of the
complete laminated structure.
