Claim:
1. A method of making an article resistant to oxygen and moisture vapor transmission comprising the steps of (A) providing a reclaimed metalized polymer film having a metallic layer of metal in direct contact with a polymeric layer of a polymer, (B) forming the reclaimed metalized polymer film into reclaimed particles, (C) blending the reclaimed particles of the reclaimed metalized polymer film with particles of other polymer material free of metal particles to form a mixture comprising about 0.1 wt % to about 95 wt % of the reclaimed particles and a complementary amount of the other polymer material, in which the polymer of the polymeric layer is in direct contact with the metal of the metallic layer when the mixture is formed, (D) melt processing the mixture to form a reclaimed composition comprising metal particles uniformly dispersed in a polymeric matrix, and (E) forming the reclaimed composition into an article resistant to oxygen and moisture vapor transmission.
