Material for packaging&#x2014;and package or receptacle made of such material&#x2014;that contains a particular aluminized polymeric film with emissivity of equal to, or less than 0.10 and yet sufficiently thin to withstand and satisfy industrial requirements of the recycling process due to substantially complete oxidization of aluminum during the recycling. An optional protective coating (less than one micron in thickness) may be added to protect aluminum in the film from corrosion during the normal use of the packaging. Protective coating is configured to not raise emissivity of the aluminized surface above the 0.10 value and, at the same time, to still allow for the aluminum material it covers to be removed due to becoming fully oxidized and corroded in the heat and at humidity levels used in the recycling/repulping process. Proposed configuration permits the aluminum of the packaging material to be included in the recycled portion of the packaging material.

Recyclable paper-containing packaging with radiant barrier insulation

A spa comprising a layer of copper-containing material, a layer of a cotton-containing material external to the layer of copper-containing material, wherein the layer of copper-containing material and the layer of cotton-containing material are at least partially located between outer spa frame studs, and a layer of at least one of a polyester or a polypropylene-containing material external to the layer of cotton-containing material. The layers of copper-containing material, cotton containing material, and at least one of a polyester or a polypropylene-containing material are located between a spa basin and a spa cabinet. The spa bottom may also have a layer of copper-containing material affixed thereon. In some embodiments, the spa may further comprise an insulated cover with a layer of copper-containing material therein.
