In Arkansas, specifically at the Port of Little Rock, a revolution is underway in the plastics industry with financial support from investors in New York and Little Rock. Revolution Plastics is leading this transformation, involving farmers, retailers, restaurants, large industrial companies, and consumers. The company utilizes a closed-loop system in the plastics sector, allowing it to control the recycling and manufacturing of its products. Revolution is expanding with plans to increase manufacturing space and invest in recycling efforts.
The company manufactures various plastic products such as trash bags, irrigation tubing, and carry-out bags which are then collected, cleaned, and recycled into resin pellets for further manufacturing. Revolution’s focus on sustainability is a core value, attracting investors who support environmentally-friendly practices. Arsenal Capital Partners of New York acquired a controlling stake in Revolution, leading to acquisitions such as Pak-Sher of Texas. With this growth, the company has expanded employment in Arkansas and across the nation.
Founded over 30 years ago, Revolution’s main product remains plastic irrigation tubing for farmers, with a zero-waste process that collects and recycles used materials. The company also produces thin polyethylene film for crop protection and mulching, as well as silage film for the dairy industry. Revolution’s advanced recycling process using technology from various sectors impressed investors, leading to plans for further expansion and growth. The company’s commitment to sustainability and the agricultural community in the Delta region remains a core aspect of its operations.
