Revolution was founded in 1986 as Delta Plastics in Stuttgart, Arkansas, with a focus on providing efficient irrigation to local farmers. It later expanded to Little Rock and – in 2009 – began its first recycling facility and introduced garbage bags made largely from recyclate. Its range of products now includes agricultural films and bags, plastic sheeting, carryout bags and stretch film. Since 2019, it has been owned by private equity firm Arsenal Capital Partners.


Product lines:


The company has a particular focus on using recyclate to make its products. Its agricultural products include grow bags, grain bags, silage bags, ground cover film and greenhouse film. Its carryout bags include tamper-evident bags – to ensure that food arrives safely. Food preparation products include pan liners and sanitation barriers. Its Eco Pro plastic sheeting is made with up to 30% PCR material and is typically used in construction applications. Its stretch film is available in both manual and machine versions, with high puncture resistance. It also has a range of garbage bags made from post-industrial recyclate.


Factory locations:


The company has various locations across North America, due partly to the number of acquisitions it has made. Last year, it acquired Indiana-based Jadcore – which has an output of around 100m pounds (45,000 tonnes) per year. It also produces film in locations including St. Paul, Minnesota, Little Rock, Arkansas and Kilgore, Texas.
