Company Profile
Aduro Clean Technologies (“Aduro”) is a chemical technology company based in London, Ontario, Canada. Founded in 2011, the company has developed an innovative technology platform that addresses critical environmental challenges. Aduro’s patented Hydrochemolytic™ Technology (HCT) is at the core of its operations, offering groundbreaking solutions for transforming plastic waste, heavy crude oils, and renewable oils into valuable resources.
HCT deconstructs large, complex molecules into smaller, more useful ones using water and simple catalysts under mild processing conditions. It is particularly effective for processing mixed, contaminated and hard-to-recycle plastic waste – such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene – into high-value feedstocks for chemicals and fuels.
Aduro is committed to sustainability and innovation, aiming to reduce the environmental impact of plastic waste and hydrocarbons while maximising resource utilisation. HCT operates at lower temperatures than traditional thermolytic technologies, avoids the need for molecular hydrogen or costly catalysts, and delivers high-quality yields with minimal post-processing. Additionally, the Aduro technology is modular and scalable, which can be implemented in diverse settings.
Marking a major milestone, Aduro uplisted to the Nasdaq Capital Market in November 2024. This transition highlights the company’s commitment to growth and innovation. The company is currently operating pilot programs and through collaboration with industry and academic partners, driving real-world applications of its solutions.
Aduro remains dedicated to advancing sustainability and reducing reliance on fossil carbon through ongoing innovation and collaboration. This commitment prompted the company to join the Renewable Carbon Initiative in 2024.
By leveraging disruptive technologies and economic benefits, Aduro Clean Technologies is playing a crucial role in reducing waste and maximising resource utilisation.
