Our Commitment to Sustainability-focused Initiatives

Aurora Material Solutions is committed to being a responsible and forward-thinking leader in the thermoplastics industry, continuously seeking ways to minimize the environmental impact of its manufacturing operations.

Our goal is to enhance the quality of life for our employees, customers, and the communities in which we operate—an ambition that guides the company’s day-to-day decisions and actions.

Aurora Material Solutions operates eight manufacturing facilities across the U.S. and Canada. We integrate pollution prevention, resource conservation, and sustainability-focused practices into our business decisions. Our team is continuously working to improve operations and technologies to help reduce waste, prevent pollution, and strive to minimize health and safety risks in our manufacturing going forward compared to our past procedures.

Aurora Material Solutions recycles or repurposes its scrap and off-grade PVC, by selling it to recyclers or repurposing it into industrial end-use applications. Each year, these efforts divert 5–8 million pounds of our thermoplastic compound scrap to recyclers and results in our repurposing of over 10 million pounds of material.

Aurora Materials Solutions has taken its recycling practices to a higher level by acquiring Lastique International, a thermoplastic recycler compounder based in Louisville, Kentucky, in December of 2024. This strategic acquisition marks a significant milestone in the company’s journey to enhance its sustainability-focused product solutions that are offered to customers. Lastique International is a leading reseller of “off-spec” thermoplastic materials and a prominent recycler of rigid PVC and other polymers. With the acquisition, Aurora now is able to offer recycled content product solutions that contain 10% to 100% PVC recycled content depending on customers’ specifications.
