IN THIS ISSUE: It’s National Biodiesel Day AND National Recycling Day! Pacific Biodiesel’s Legislative Priorities; Community Partnerships; Highlighting customer Maui Brewing Company; Agriculture Update; Community Happenings & Industry News.
FEATURED CUSTOMER – Maui Brewing Company
March 18, 2026 – Today – March 18 – is both National Biodiesel Day AND Global Recycling Day. So we are giving a special MAHALO shoutout to Maui Brewing Company – the FIRST food and beverage producer in Hawaiʻi to utilize our local biodiesel to help power their manufacturing operations AND recycle with us the used cooking oil from their restaurants statewide.
2026 Legislative Priority
“Hawaiʻi’s heavy dependence on imported petroleum threatens the Stateʻs energy security, economic stability, and national security interests in the Pacific region. Locally produced biodiesel provides an immediately deployable, renewable, energy-dense fuel that reduces reliance on foreign crude oil and increases the State’s resilience against global supply disruptions, both of which have strategic local community and military importance.”
Happy Holidays – December 2025
IN THIS ISSUE: As 2025 comes to a close, we are especially grateful for all of you – the many relationships we have made and maintained with our customers, employees and communities during the past three decades.
