Arkansas-based film recycler Revolution Sustainable Solutions has acquired Michigan-based film recycler Island Plastics, expanding its total input capacity to more than 300mn lbs/yr.
Island Plastics recycles post-consumer low-density and linear low-density polyethylene (rLDPE/LLDPE), with an input capacity of over 25mn lb/yr.
Revolution said the acquisition would help the company expand its customer offerings of post-consumer food grade clear rLDPE.
Revolution declined to disclose financial terms of the deal.
Last year, Revolution acquired a letter of no objection from the US Food and Drug Administration for its recycled linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), allowing its product to be used for food contact purposes.
In January this year, Revolution acquired Canadian agricultural film recycler PolyAg.
