Revolution Company

What Revolution Company does

Revolution Company (legal entity Revolution Sustainable Solutions, LLC) is a vertically integrated plastic film manufacturer and mechanical recycler headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas, operating an integrated Create-Recover-Recycle sustainable loop. Originally founded in 1996 as Delta Plastics of the South in Stuttgart, Arkansas, the company was renamed Revolution in 2019 following a series of acquisitions (Rodeo, Command Packaging, Encore Recycling, Pak-Sher, Polar Plastics, Jadcore, Five Point Films, and more recently PolyAg Recycling in Canada, Norflex, and Island Plastics). It is backed by private equity firm Arsenal Capital Partners and operates 14 U.S. locations plus a Canadian subsidiary, processing more than 300 million pounds of flexible polyethylene film annually and reporting 3 billion+ pounds of cumulative landfill diversion.

The company's core technology is mechanical recycling of flexible polyethylene films (LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE), including heavily soiled agricultural film and post-industrial scrap, converted into certified PCR and PIR resins. Proprietary elements include the mechanical film recycling process, Elastin Technology resin blend for stretch film, and the integrated collection-and-recycling logistics stack (Push for Pick Up mobile app, dedicated fleet, 2,500+ dumpsters across the Midwest). The product portfolio spans agricultural films (silage, bunker cover, polytube), commercial bags (can liners with up to 97% PCR), poly sheeting and ASTM-certified VaporPro vapor barriers, cast and blown stretch films (Impact Elite, Fierce, Titan, Encore Wrap), recycled resins (Encore PCR, PIR), and specialty products including ITL 360 circular pond liners for oil and gas. Third-party certifications include FDA food-contact LNO, ECOLOGO, RMS, APR, SCS Global Services, and ASTM E1745-17.

Revenue is generated through direct B2B sales (quote-based pricing), a broker portal for consumer products, sale of recycled resins to global brands and OEMs, and custom closed-loop programs with named enterprises such as Chipotle, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, and Charter Next Generation. Customer segments span agriculture, construction and industrial, food service, grocery and c-store, retail, transportation and warehousing, and home improvement. The company is led by President and CEO Scott Coleman, with a workforce of 1,500+ employees across manufacturing and recycling operations.

Revenue model

1. Sustainable Plastic Products: Revenue is generated from the sale of manufactured plastic film products including agricultural films and bags, carryout and food prep bags, commercial and industrial bags, stretch film, poly sheeting, vapor barriers, pallet covers, shrink film, recycled resins, and specialty products. Products are sold directly to businesses across multiple industries. Many products contain up to 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) resin content.
2. Film Collection & Recycling Services: The company collects, processes and recycles LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, PP, PS, PC/Nylon film from customers. They purchase source-segregated scrap film and convert it into certified recycled resins. Collection programs are operated through the Push for Pick Up app and dedicated fleet.
3. Recycled Resin Sales: Sale of certified post-consumer recycled (PCR) and post-industrial recycled (PIR) resins to global brands, OEMs, and other manufacturers for use in flexible film applications including food packaging, poly mailers, trash can liners, carryout bags, stretch hood and wrap, and protective films. Encore PCR resin is certified for food contact applications.
4. Custom Sustainable Loop Programs: Tailored closed-loop programs where the company partners with brands to create custom circular solutions, collecting the customer's used film and reincorporating it into new products for that customer, providing a complete sustainability story.

Core offering

Revolution manufactures and sells sustainable flexible polyethylene plastic film products — including agricultural films and bags, carryout and food-prep bags, commercial and industrial can liners and contractor bags, poly sheeting, vapor barriers, stretch and shrink film, pallet covers, and recycled resins — across agriculture, construction, food service, grocery, retail, transportation, and industrial markets. The company also operates an integrated mechanical recycling business that collects post-consumer and post-industrial film, processes it into third-party-certified PCR and PIR resins, and reincorporates it into its own products and those of global brands and OEMs under a Create-Recover-Recycle sustainable loop model.

Product overview

Revolution Company is a sustainable plastic solutions provider operating a unified platform approach with circular manufacturing capabilities. The company manufactures and recycles flexible plastic products across five core divisions: Sustainable Agriculture (agricultural films and bags including Silage Wrap, Bunker Cover, Ground Cover Film, and Nursery/Greenhouse Film), Sustainable Commercial (VaporPro™ Vapor Barriers, Construction Sheeting, Eco Pro™ PCR Sheeting), Sustainable Consumer (Carryout & Food Prep products, Deli Bags, Bakery Bags), Sustainable Materials (Encore® PCR Resin, PIR Resins for recycled content), and Sustainable Stretch Solutions (Impact Elite, Impact Pro, Impact Ultra, Cast and Blown Stretch Film). The company operates a unique sustainable loop model where it creates products, recovers used film through collection programs, and recycles materials back into certified recycled resins used in new products.
