Revolution Sustainable Solutions Acquires Agricultural Films Producer

The film recycler Revolution Sustainable Solutions announced the acquisition of Norflex, a producer of agricultural and industrial film products. The strategic acquisition is expected to bolster Revolution’s capabilities in sustainable agriculture solutions as well as expand its sustainable stretch and shrink film businesses.

The acquisition of Norflex brings with it the Agriseal silage wrap, a product that complements Revolution’s existing portfolio of sustainable agriculture solutions.  Agriseal’s durability enables performance with less overall material.

Revolution collects and recycles used agricultural films, converting the material into certified postconsumer recycled resin (PCR) that can be used to manufacture new film products such as can liners, carryout bags and stretch film.

“Integrating Norflex’s Agriseal silage wrap enhances our ability to offer comprehensive, sustainable solutions to the agricultural community,” says Scott Coleman, Revolution president. “This acquisition allows us to further our commitment of helping farmers and agricultural businesses create less waste and increase efficiency.”

Norflex technology will expand Revolutions blown stretch film to complement its current cast film products. According to Revolution, the combined expertise and resources will enable the production of higher quality, more sustainable stretch films catering to a wide range of industrial applications.

In addition to the advancements in the agricultural and stretch film sectors, this acquisition enables growth in the shrink film market. Norflex’s expertise in producing high-quality shrink films, combined with Revolution’s expertise in producing consistent postconsumer recycled materials, positions the company to offer innovative shrink film solutions with PCR content.

“As we move forward, our focus remains on developing and delivering solutions to support a sustainable ecosystem and future,” Coleman says. “We look forward to the positive impact this acquisition will have on our company, our customers and the environment.”
