Revolution Sustainable Solutions, LLC<\/a> (\u201cRevolution\u201d), a leader in sustainable materials<\/a> and recycling solutions, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Island Plastics, LLC (\u201cIsland Plastics\u201d), a premier producer of 100% post-consumer recycled (\u201cPCR\u201d) linear low-density and low-density polyethylene (\u201cLLDPE\/LDPE\u201d) film grade resin. This strategic move aims to bolster Revolution\u2019s commitment to sustainable loop solutions and expand its recycling capabilities, particularly in the production of clear food-grade PCR for flexible food packaging and other applications.\u00a0<\/p>\n Island Plastics, based in Flint, Michigan, operates a state-of-the-art mechanical recycling facility dedicated to producing high-quality LLDPE\/LDPE PCR. As the largest film recycling plant in Michigan, Island Plastics has been instrumental in advancing plastic recycling technologies while maintaining stringent quality standards. Their expertise aligns seamlessly with Revolution\u2019s mission to create and champion sustainable loop solutions that preserve the environment. \u00a0<\/p>\n In October 2023, Revolution received a Letter of No Objection (\u201cLNO\u201d) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) \u00a0for its proprietary mechanical recycling method to produce clear food-grade PCR-LLDPE resin from stretch film. This approval allows the use of up to 100% recycled content in food contact<\/a> applications across a broad range of food types and conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n Scott Coleman, President and CEO of Revolution, stated, \u201cThe partnership represents a significant step forward in our mission to redefine possible for sustainable plastic solutions. By integrating Island Plastics\u2019 recycling capabilities and high-quality PCR products<\/a>, we are poised to enhance our sustainable ecosystem and further contribute to a circular economy. We plan to leverage our recent FDA No Objection Letter to expand Island Plastics\u2019 PCR offerings to include clear food-grade PCR.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n This acquisition is also expected to enhance Revolution\u2019s capacity to deliver sustainable products across various markets, including agriculture, facilities maintenance, and consumer goods. By incorporating Island Plastics\u2019 capabilities, Revolution aims to increase the use of certified recycled content in its products, thereby reducing reliance on virgin materials and minimizing environmental impact.\u00a0<\/p>\n Revolution remains dedicated to its unique, circular approach to plastics, which involves not only manufacturing high-quality products but also collecting and recycling them to create a continuous cycle of sustainability. The integration of Island Plastics is anticipated to strengthen this approach, enabling Revolution to recover, process, and clean more than 300 million pounds of material annually. \u00a0<\/p>\n For more information about Revolution and its acquisition of Island, visit revolutioncompany.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
