An absorbent article comprising a laminated outer cover is disclosed. The laminated outer cover comprises an aliphatic-aromatic copolyester film including a filler material. The aliphatic-aromatic copolyester films have suitable breathability, vapor transfer and tensile strength properties while being substantially biodegradable. L'invention concerne un article absorbant comprenant un revêtement extérieur stratifié. Ce revêtement extérieur stratifié comprend un film de copolyester aliphatique-aromatique qui contient une matière de remplissage. Les films de copolyester aliphatique-aromatique possèdent des propriétés de respirabilité, de transfert de vapeur et de contrainte de rupture, tout en étant sensiblement biodégradable.
