Planet-Friendly Business
0
Aduro Clean Technologies has commissioned a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for its Hydrochemolytic™ technology for waste plastic processing.
1
This LCA is currently underway and will be conducted in phases, starting with a screening-level assessment of GHG emissions and energy use.
2
Future phases are planned to incorporate data from the company's Next Generation Process (NGP) pilot plant and include a comparative LCA against other chemical recycling methods.
3
Preliminary data from the LCA suggests a 40-60% reduction in GHG emissions versus conventional recycling methods for the technology itself.
4
However, no completed full life-cycle assessments for specific product lines or quantitative data for other planet-friendly business metrics are provided.

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products
20
Aduro's hydrochemolytic technology (HCT) converts up to 95% of the carbon in waste polypropylene (PP) into hydrocarbon feedstock, with less than 5% of the input PP ending up as non-recyclable material.
1
This technology achieves a 95% conversion rate of mixed-polymer plastics into hydrocarbon products, with residual char at 2% compared to 30% for pyrolysis.
2
The HCT produces high-quality recycled content suitable for new plastics, including food-contact packaging, effectively making Aduro's feedstock a 95% recycled content product.
3
The company is integrating circular economy principles into its product design and has partnered with Cleanfarms Inc. to explore chemically recycling agricultural plastics, which is a waste reduction initiative.
4
Aduro is engaging Delphi, a sustainability consultancy, to conduct a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of its HCT technology, which will benchmark its process against other chemical recycling approaches.
5
Preliminary data suggests a 40-60% reduction in GHG emissions versus conventional recycling methods.
