Company Seeks to Continue Penetration of Its Recycled Products, Produced From Reclaimed Plastics by Its Wholly-Owned Subsidiary Pioneer Products LLC, Into Large U.S. Retail Outlets

/EINPresswire.com/ -- ROGERS, AR--(Marketwired - May 26, 2016) - Ecoark Holdings, Inc. (Ecoark), (OTCQB: EARK), a provider of a growing suite of proprietary technologies and services that drive sustainability and facilitate sustainable growth for a wide range of clients, today announced a partnership with Retail Monster LLC (Retail Monster) to further expand the distribution of the Company's recycled products to retail outlets across the United States.

Ecoark, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Pioneer Products LLC, produces recycled products made from reclaimed plastic materials, such as trash cans and office chairs. This partnership will enable Pioneer Products to utilize the expertise of Retail Monster to broaden its retail distribution past what currently exists, building on the Company's current relationship with Walmart, while also looking toward licensing opportunities for certain products. Pioneer Products has expanded its production capabilities with its recent acquisition of Sable Polymer Solutions LLC.

"We are happy to announce our partnership with Retail Monster and to begin working with their team to formulate a plan that brings our recycled products from Pioneer Products into more retail stores across the country. The Retail Monster team has a wealth of experience and we plan to fully leverage it to further expand our retail reach," said Randy May, CEO, Ecoark Holdings, Inc. "We believe this partnership will help us to strengthen current retail relationships and build new ones, while driving revenue through increased sales opportunities."

Retail Monster is a brand extension and licensing firm with more than 70 years of executive experience in retail, buying, sales, marketing, finance, and licensing. The company has worked with top brands such as Walmart, Tesco, and Harrod's, facilitating relationships to launch retail products into stores across the globe.

"Working with companies like Ecoark and Pioneer Products is exciting for us because they have a successful track record and industry reputation already in place, so we can continue to build off of those relationships while also opening other doors to new opportunities," said Michael Connolly, CEO, Retail Monster. "We look forward to a positive partnership with Ecoark and to help expand the retail reach of the company nationwide."

Each year, $11.5B worth of recyclable products are thrown into landfills, 70% of which is recoverable plastic materials that are worth more than $8B. Last year Pioneer Products converted more than 500,000 pounds of plastic into new consumer goods which are sold in retail stores across the United States.
