Revolution is going to expand its 100,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Little Rock by an additional 36,000 square feet, according to arkansasedc.com. With this investment, Revolution expects to create more than 60 new jobs for the state of Arkansas within the next two years.
The investment at the Little Rock facility, totaling over $20 million, will enable Revolution to continue growing its product line of sustainably produced commercial polyethylene products that include construction film and sheeting, agriculture film, silo and dairy bags, and geomembrane film. The expansion will add two new blown film lines capable of producing 40 million-plus pounds of film products per year. This added capacity is specifically designed to manufacture film that incorporates high levels of post-consumer recycled plastic, a cornerstone of Revolution’s unique manufacturing model.
For over 20 years, Revolution has been collecting used agriculture film and turning it into new plastic products that can be sold back into the markets they serve. They are a leader in sustainable plastic solutions and a founding activator of the recently formed U.S. Plastics Pact – joining other global brands to tackle the future of plastic.
Revolution’s recycling programs collect and recycle a cumulative 200 million pounds of used material each year, and the company plans to quickly expand its product offering in these growing markets with the added capacity from the new lines.
