Aduro Clean Technologies and Cleanfarms Sign Memorandum of Understanding to Collaborate on Development of Commercial Pathway for Challenging Agricultural Plastics
These include, but are not limited to, challenges in securing consistent and scalable volumes of agricultural plastic waste, including variability in contamination levels and regional collection logistics; the uncertainties regarding the performance of the Company’s HCT when applied to highly contaminated, mixed-polymer agricultural plastics under real-world conditions, such as potential limitations in contaminant tolerance, conversion efficiency, or product quality; technical and engineering challenges may arise in scaling the HCT process from laboratory to pilot and demonstration scale, including risks related to continuous flow operation, system stability, and the integration of preprocessing steps; the development and commissioning of the Company’s pilot or demonstration plant may face delays, cost overruns, or technical setbacks that could impact the timeline or feasibility of commercial deployment; there may be inaccuracies or limitations in the development of techno-economic and eco-efficiency models, including assumptions about processing costs, product yields, environmental benefits, and market value of outputs; the availability, timing, or sufficiency of provincial or federal funding to support the initiative is uncertain, as are potential changes in regulatory frameworks that could affect project viability or compliance; the market risks including shifts in demand for recycled hydrocarbons, changes in agricultural plastic usage patterns, and evolving policy or producer responsibility regulations that could influence the commercial attractiveness or strategic direction of the initiative; and the risks associated with translating pilot-scale results into broader commercial deployment strategies, including logistical complexities, stakeholder engagement, and alignment with Cleanfarms’ national collection infrastructure.
The forward-looking statements in this release include, but are not limited to, the Company’s collaboration with Cleanfarms to evaluate the application of HCT for recycling agricultural plastic waste; the successful execution and outcomes of the three-phase collaboration framework, including laboratory feasibility testing, scale-up trials in the R2 reactor, and integration into the pilot-scale platform; the potential for HCT to provide a viable commercial-scale solution for contaminated or hard-to-recycle agricultural plastics; the development of techno-economic and eco-efficiency models; the exploration of provincial or federal funding opportunities to support the initiative; the intention to use the results of the collaboration to inform broader deployment strategies across Canada and internationally; the potential to reduce landfilling and open new value streams through the application of HCT; the ability of Cleanfarms’ national supply chain and logistics expertise to support real-world evaluation and commercial deployment; the inclusion of agricultural plastics as a feedstock in Aduro’s planned Demonstration Plant; and the broader goal of building a more complete circular economy for Canadian agriculture.
Multi-phase collaboration to assess the technical and commercial feasibility of Aduro’s Hydrochemolytic™ Technology as a potential commercial-scale solution for chemical recycling of on-farm plastic wasteLONDON, Ontario, May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aduro Clean Technologies Inc.("Aduro” or the "Company”) (Nasdaq: ADUR) (CSE: ACT) (FSE: 9D5), a clean technology company using the power of chemistry to transform lower-value feedstocks, like waste plastics, heavy bitumen, and renewable oils, into resources for the 21st century, today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU”) with Cleanfarms Inc.("Cleanfarms”), which is known as AgriRÉCUP in Quebec.
