Baker Commodities acquires New Leaf Biofuel

Recyclers Baker Commodities has acquired a controlling interest in San Diego, California-based New Leaf Biofuel.

The acquisition of New Leaf enables Baker to expand into other markets that vertically integrate with its rendering operations, and adds value for produced fats and oils.

For eight years, New Leaf Biofuel has been converting used cooking oil (UCO) into ultra-low carbon biodiesel, which is used in commercial and municipal fleets throughout California.
