Abstract
A flexible carrier for carrying a plurality of containers, such as soft drink and other beverage containers, is formed from a polymer composition which provides the carrier with improved recovery, tensile strength and tear resistance. The polymer composition includes about 40-60% by weight of a low density ethylene polymer having a density of about 0.910-0.950 grams/cm3 and about 40-60% by weight of a post-consumer recycled product blend of low density polyethylene polymer and linear low density polyethylene polymer.
