Claim 0:
1. A method of protecting an object with a cover, including the steps of:
obtaining a laminated fabric including material from a recycled laminated fabric product, the recycled laminated fabric product having a first component that is a polymer, the first component having a melting point, and a second component having a melting point differing from the melting point of the first component by at least 100° C., the laminated fabric further including (a) a film layer including at least some of the first component from the recycled laminated fabric product and at least one virgin polymer resin, (b) a nonwoven layer, and (c) an adhesive between the film layer and the nonwoven layer;
forming the laminated fabric into a cover; and
placing the cover over the object to be protected;
wherein the step of obtaining a laminated fabric icluding material the recycled laminated fabric product includes making the laminated fabric by a process that includes the steps of (a) obtaining an existing laminated fabric product, the existing laminated fabric product having the first component and the second component (b) separating the first component of the existing laminated fabric product from the second component of the existing laminated fabric product, (c) forming the first component of the existing laminated fabric product into pellets, (d) providing the least one virgin polymer resin, (e) forming the pellets and the at least one virgin polymer resin into a film, (f) providing the nonwoven material, and (g) laminating the film to the nonwoven material via the adhesive.
