A Complete Revolution

Revolution Bag is the first company to provide a complete line of EPA-compliant trash can liners that don't cost more and perform just as well as bags produced with virgin resin. Now you can meet EPA mandates, capture LEED points and get a really great bag in the process. With Revolution Bag, the decision to go green is really no decision at all.

So how does Revolution Bag do what no one else has been able to do? It starts with their supply of post-consumer materials -- a virtually endless quantity of consistent, high quality raw materials for recycling provided by their parent company Delta Plastics. This resource is coupled with patented washing and processing technology that enables them to take this post-consumer material which would otherwise end up a landfill and produce high quality bags at competitive prices.

Five Steps to a Revolutionary Product

1. CROP IRRIGATION
Revolution Bag's parent company Delta Plastics in Little Rock, Arkansas creates agricultural polyethylene irrigation tubing. Tubing is used for only one growing season.

2. RECYCLING
After one season of use, the tubing must be discarded. For 15 years, Delta Plastics has reclaimed and returned the tubing for recycling

3. RESIN
PRODUCTION
Used plastic is recycled at Delta Plastics' Stuttgart, Arkansas plant through a patented process that transforms the materials from tubing to SCS-certified PCR resin.

4. BAG
MANUFACTURING
Resin is transferred to Revolution Bag in Little Rock, Arkansas, where it is converted to blown film and trash bags are produced.

5. REVOLUTION
The end result is a full line of EPA-compliant bags in a variety of gauges and sizes that are exclusively available in Hawaii from GBC Boxes & Packaging.

A Green Product That's More Than Talk

In a time when practically every company is making some type of green or eco-friendly claim, Revolution Bag backs up their promises in a big way, with the first complete line of EPA-compliant can liners. But the bags they produce are just a part of the story. Their parent company, Delta Plastics, has been a recycling pioneer for years, winning numerous awards for innovation and dedication in the field of sustainability.

Delta Plastics is literally keeping tens of millions of pounds of post-consumer materials out of landfills every year through its collection services. Then, Revolution Bag utilizes this material as the foundation for every bag they sell. Beyond what's in the box, Revolution Bag takes their stewardship even further by producing coreless rolls that cut down on cardboard waste, and packaging everything in recycled cardboard. They even offer a line of bags (EcoMax Select) that provide optimum fit with their corresponding cans, ensuring the smallest environmental footprint possible. At Revolution, their passion for a cleaner, greener planet is in the bag.

Here is a current list of relevant certifications and green credentials:

USGBC LEED
Every Revolution Bag can liner meets the necessary standards to get your business or building United States Green Building Council (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) points.

EPA
Every Revolution Bag can liner meets the government mandate for minimum post-consumer recycled content. If it's Revolution, it's compliant.
