´óÏó´«Ã½

a recycler and producer of agricultural bags and film, announced the successful acquisition of PolyAg Recycling, a Canadian mechanical recycler of agricultural films.

The acquisition of PolyAg is expected to benefit both ´óÏó´«Ã½es and the markets they serve by combining  PolyAg's existing operations with Revolution's resources and expertise in the film recycling space. PolyAg, based in Bashaw, Alberta, began operations in 2019, offering a local recycling solution for used agriculture film — a market where extended producer responsibility (EPR) and product stewardship programs designed to drive toward the goal of increased recycling have been expanding in recent years.

In Alberta, the EPR system went into effect in 2022, and both governments and non-governmental agencies have turned to recyclers such as PolyAg to help implement various innovative waste management programs to divert waste away from landfills and increase circularity in the agricultural market.

The partnership aligns with Revolution's strategic growth goals, including the company's recent expansion in Little Rock, Arkansas, where they invested in new blown film lines to produce specialty agriculture films. As Revolution expands further into the agriculture market, adding PolyAg's recycling capacity offers opportunities to better serve customers across the U.S. and Canadian markets with the company's holistic approach to collection, recycling and production of sustainable product solutions.

“We are excited about the possibilities that this acquisition brings to Revolution and our valued stakeholders,” says Sean Whiteley, CEO of Revolution. “PolyAg has built an impressive ´óÏó´«Ã½ in a relatively short period of time, and by combining our strengths and expertise, we are well positioned to deliver even more impactful sustainable solutions to our customers in the U.S and Canada.”

Revolution says it is committed to ensuring a seamless transition for PolyAg and its employees. According to the company, current customers of PolyAg can expect uninterrupted service and support during this transition.
