Orontas, based in Toronto, Canada, manufactures and distributes high performance, sustainable and nontoxic recreational and household products. In Spring 2011, Orontas launched their first extended product line for bikes featuring chain lubricant, cleaner, aerosol lubricant and waterproof grease.

Founders Chris and George uphold the company to a high ethical standard. From initial concept to production, Orontas doesn't even consider petrochemicals, focusing on design, performance and ethics. “People deserve beautiful products that are responsible. It’s as simple as that,” says Hanz.

“Orontas isn’t green. Orontas isn’t even “going green”. We hold ourselves to an ethical standard that includes using sustainable and biodegradable materials that don’t come with skulls and crossbones. We believe that having values is better than marketing them, and the last time we checked green was still just a perfectly nice color (or colour... we’re Canadian).”
