Renegade Plastics®, a sustainable coated fabrics manufacturer based in Green Bay, Wis., announced the closing of a pre-seed investment led by Schneider Resources Holding (SRH). The investment will help expand Renegade’s team into new markets that are seeking a non-toxic and more sustainable alternative to vinyl-coated industrial fabrics.
Established in 2021, Renegade Plastics is addressing the plastic problem by building a circular economy for coated fabrics, based on a proprietary polypropylene-based coated fabric that is non-toxic and recyclable, with lower carbon and lighter weight than the vinyl-coated fabrics that currently dominate the industry.
“Renegade is leading the coated fabric industry in a more sustainable direction,” says Renegade Plastics CEO Tony Ehrbar. “As awareness of the environmental and health problems associated with vinyl, PFAS and phthalates increase, users of coated fabrics are increasingly looking for a non-toxic and more sustainable alternative. Renegade not only provides the fabric solution that customers are looking for but also works with customers to ensure that their products do not end up in the landfill.”
Schneider Resources Holding is a family-owned private investment company headquartered in Green Bay, Wis. Focusing on generational investments, SRH partners with privately owned businesses in Wisconsin and the upper Midwest, leveraging its expertise and extensive manufacturing, distribution, packaging, and agriculture network to facilitate growth.
