Environmentally Driven

Protecting the Environment & Reducing Our Carbon Footprint

Aurora Products is excited to announce a partnership with Newport Biodiesel of Newport, Rhode Island.
Our partnership is aimed at producing clean-burning biodiesel. In fact, 20,000 pounds of used cooking oil will be collected by Newport Biodiesel each month from our facility in Orange, CT.

Biodiesel is a renewable, clean-burning diesel fuel replacement that can be used in existing diesel engines and home furnaces without modification. It is the nation’s first domestically produced, commercially available advanced biofuel.

This new partnership will result in the creation of thousands of gallons of biodiesel fuel annually. Each gallon collected through this innovative partnership means fewer gallons of petroleum imported into Connecticut.

Newport Biodiesel produces clean-burning biodiesel for home heat and on-road use, all derived from the collection of used cooking oil collected from thousands of kitchens across New England.  This partnership is just one example of how Aurora Products is committed to the protection of the environment and reducing our carbon footprint.

Our Recyclable, Post-Consumer RPET Packaging Helps Us Use Less Plastic

We are committed to giving back to the community and doing our part to be as environmentally friendly as possible. Aurora Products is proud of its efforts to be greener and in leading the industry toward a more eco-friendly and environmentally driven business approach.

We actively seek ways to decrease the use of plastic by using packaging made from 50% recyclable RPET (polyethylene terephthalate), derived from partially “post-consumer” recycled goods. Plastic made from RPET is considered to be one of the best commodity materials as a barrier to oxygen. Its clarity, inertness, barrier properties, and recyclability make it a premium choice for Aurora’s quality product line.

In our recently created JAR line of items, we use 100% recyclable packaging to reduce our environmental footprint even further.
