It is found that, in the case of processing via a melt, the interaction of the initial components is implemented due to physical rather than chemical or any other type of interaction in a polymer/filler system, which is confirmed by IR spectroscopy: there are no additional absorption bands in the spectra which are not characteristic for the functional groups of the initial polyolefins and betulin. Here, a heterogeneous structure is formed which is accompanied by a decrease in the stress–strain properties: by 6.4 and 11% of the initial values for polymer compositions based on polyethylene and by 11 and 15%, based on polypropylene, and the above-indicated polymer compositions can be recommended for application as packaging materials. A positive result of the antimicrobial action of polymer compositions based on polyolefins dispersion filled with betulin is confirmed: the growth inhibition coefficient in relation to the test microorganisms is implemented for <i>Candida albicans</i>, <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>, and <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>; however, no inhibition of reproduction is observed for <i>Escherichia coli</i>.
