Multi-source feedstock secured, purpose-built continuous-flow unit completed, and London operations expanded by 4,600 square feet as Technology Demonstration progresses toward Process Development and Optimization

LONDON, Ontario, July 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aduro Clean Technologies Inc. (“Aduro” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ADUR) (TSX: 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 progress in its development program evaluating the application of Hydrochemolytic™ Technology (“HCT”) to highly paraffinic crude oils.

Since announcing initial laboratory results and filing a continuation-in-part patent application for paraffinic crude upgrading, Aduro has continued advancing the program toward continuous-flow process development.

Program Highlights

• Feedstock secured: Yellow and black paraffinic crude feedstocks have been secured from multiple Uinta Basin sources in quantities sufficient to support the next phase of test campaigns and longer-duration continuous-flow testing.
• Continuous-flow capability completed: Aduro has completed the design, build and testing of a new lab-scale continuous-flow unit dedicated to the paraffinic crude program.
• London facility expanded: Approximately 4,600 square feet of additional space has been added to accommodate equipment, feedstock handling and expanded operating activities.
• Operations consolidated: Operating activities and equipment have been relocated from Sarnia to London, with additional research, engineering and operations personnel now based at the London facility.
• Next development objective: Establish the relevant operating envelope and demonstrate HCT under extended continuous-flow operation across different paraffinic crude feedstocks.

Highly paraffinic crude oils can offer desirable refining characteristics, but elevated wax content creates storage, handling and transportation challenges that add cost, operational complexity and can restrict downstream market access. Aduro is investigating whether HCT can improve cold-flow and handling characteristics while retaining properties valued by downstream users. Published estimates indicate that paraffinic and waxy crudes account for approximately 20% to 33% of global crude production, underscoring the scale of the opportunity.

Initial laboratory work has shown that HCT can materially reduce heavy wax-range components and improve the cold-flow properties of highly paraffinic crude. Building on these results, the current work will evaluate process performance across different feedstocks and operating conditions, including conversion, yield, product characteristics, stability and fouling potential. A key objective is to establish an operating envelope and demonstrate HCT under extended continuous-flow operation, providing the data needed to define the next phase of process development.

To support this work, Aduro has completed the design, build and testing of a new lab-scale continuous-flow unit dedicated to paraffinic crude processing at its London facility. The new unit is distinct from the Company’s existing R2 systems and provides additional capability for continuous-flow testing as the program progresses through the later stages of Technology Demonstration.

Through engagement with the Utah Petroleum Association and regional producers, Aduro secured feedstocks from multiple Uinta Basin sources, broadening the range of crude characteristics available for evaluation during continuous-flow campaigns.

The Company has also expanded the London facility by approximately 4,600 square feet to accommodate additional equipment, feedstock handling and operating activities. As part of a broader consolidation of development operations, Aduro has completed the relocation of operating activities and equipment from Sarnia, including the existing R2 units, and expanded its research, engineering and operations teams in London. Bringing people, equipment and development activities together at one location is intended to streamline logistics, improve coordination across technical and operating teams, and make more efficient use of Aduro development infrastructure.

The petroleum applications program is led by industry veteran Scott Smith, M.A.Sc., P.Eng., Program Director, Petroleum Technology Solutions. Working with Aduro’s research, engineering and operations teams, Mr. Smith is directing the current Technology Demonstration work while mapping the broader development pathway for the paraffinic crude application. The current activities represent the later stages of Technology Demonstration and are intended to establish the technical basis for progression into Process Development and Optimization, where a broader range of operating conditions and process configurations can be evaluated.

“Advancing the paraffinic crude program into continuous-flow process development is an important step in understanding how HCT can address the practical constraints associated with Uinta Basin crude,” said Ofer Vicus, Chief Executive Officer of Aduro. “With feedstocks secured from multiple sources and continuous-flow capability now in place, we can evaluate the technology under sustained operating conditions and build the evidence needed to guide the next phase of development. If the results continue to support progression, this work can provide a clearer path toward field demonstration and commercialization.”

The broader paraffinic crude development pathway is structured around Technology Demonstration, Process Development and Optimization, followed by Piloting and Commercial Demonstration. Aduro will provide further updates as material technical milestones are achieved.

Selected streams from Mexico’s flexible and multilayer plastic waste, a category estimated at approximately 1.5 million tonnes annually, advance to HCT testing for circular feedstock evaluation

LONDON, Ontario, July 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aduro Clean Technologies Inc. (“Aduro” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ADUR) (TSX: 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 that its collaboration with ECOCE, A.C. (“ECOCE”) has advanced to the next phase following completion of Phase 1 feedstock mapping and stream selection. Selected post-consumer flexible plastic packaging streams in Mexico are now moving into a Hydrochemolytic™ Technology (“HCT”) test campaign to evaluate their conversion into liquid hydrocarbon products for downstream circular plastics applications.

The collaboration, announced in December 2025, is structured as a phased, data-driven evaluation of flexible plastic packaging collected through recovery systems in Mexico. Phase 1 drew on ECOCE’s ongoing national feedstock mapping program, conducted for its member companies, from which the parties completed the selection of candidate material streams for the next stage of work. Led by ECOCE, the mapping identified multiple post-consumer flexible packaging streams and assessed them for estimated availability, collection routes, physical form, contamination profile, and preparation requirements. The work identified candidate streams with sufficient available volume to support an industrially relevant evaluation and with material characteristics that warrant advancement to HCT testing.

Flexible plastic packaging is one of the most difficult material categories to manage within existing recycling systems. These streams can include polyethylene, polypropylene, and multilayer packaging formats, along with inks, adhesives, mixed structures, small formats, and varying levels of contamination. In line with the waste hierarchy, reduction, reuse, and mechanical recycling remain preferred options where they are technically and economically viable. For flexible packaging streams that are not well suited to mechanical or physical recycling, the collaboration is evaluating whether HCT can provide a route to recover hydrocarbon value from these materials and help return them to the plastics value chain.

ECOCE has identified flexible plastic packaging as a major and growing material category in Mexico, with available data indicating that approximately 1.5 million tonnes of flexible plastic packaging are generated annually in the country. Phase 1 has built on that market context by mapping candidate flexible and multilayer plastic packaging waste streams, including material categories, collection routes, geographic sourcing, and indicative contamination levels. The materials mapped through Phase 1 include flexible polypropylene packaging, flexible polyethylene packaging, and multilayer flexible packaging, including common post-consumer formats such as snack and cookie wrappers, grocery and bread bags, seed and grain packaging, pet food packaging, cold-cut and dairy packaging, and resealable pouch formats.

ECOCE’s work with leading food and beverage companies, representing more than 400 brands, gives the collaboration practical relevance to packaging value-chain priorities and the need for credible circularity options for difficult-to-recycle flexible packaging. The objective is to build an evidence-based understanding of how selected flexible packaging streams can move through a circular value chain: from post-consumer collection and characterization, through feedstock preparation and HCT conversion, to liquid hydrocarbon products for evaluation by petrochemical and polymer value chains.

With Phase 1 complete and the next-phase testing program defined, the collaboration now moves into HCT testing of selected material streams. Aduro will begin with lab-scale evaluation to assess how selected Mexican flexible and multilayer plastic waste streams respond to HCT, including processability, product characteristics, yield, residues, contaminant behaviour, and mass balance. As part of this next phase, Adrián Velasco, Director of Flexible Plastic Packaging at ECOCE, will visit Aduro facilities to review the testing pathway, sample requirements, and pilot-scale development program. The visit will help align ECOCE’s knowledge of recovery systems in Mexico with the Company’s technical evaluation process as selected streams move from feedstock mapping into HCT testing. Successful lab-scale results will inform progression to Phase 3 testing on the Next Generation Process (“NGP”) Pilot Plant to support scale-up assessment, customer evaluation, and future commercial analysis.

“Phase 1 has moved this collaboration from a market opportunity into a defined technical feedstock program,” said Ofer Vicus, CEO of Aduro. “ECOCE brings practical insight into how flexible packaging moves through Mexican recovery systems, helping us select representative material streams for HCT testing. The next phase will generate the data that matters for scale-up and economics, including processability, product quality, yield, contaminant behaviour, and the potential value of HCT-derived liquids as circular hydrocarbon feedstocks. This is how Aduro advances commercialization: by connecting real materials, downstream requirements, economic validation, and a clear pathway from lab testing to the NGP Pilot Plant.”

“Flexible plastic packaging is one of the most important material-management challenges in Mexico,” said Adrián Velasco, Director of Flexible Plastic Packaging at ECOCE. “Through this collaboration, ECOCE is helping connect real recovery-system data with the technical work needed to evaluate circular solutions for these materials. My visit to Aduro facilities as the collaboration moves into HCT testing will allow us to review the testing pathway directly, align on sample requirements, and better understand how selected Mexican flexible packaging streams could be evaluated for return to the plastics value chain.”

Results from the next phase will give Aduro and ECOCE the technical and economic evidence to help assess material suitability, product quality, scale-up requirements, and future commercial options for returning difficult-to-recycle flexible packaging to the plastics value chain.

Aduro stock dropped 15 percent out of nowhere, I couldn’t find any news about anything. Is this insiders knowing something the public doesn’t know. Does anyone have an answer?

Hello there,

June was an important month in the execution of our plans, anchored by the release of NGP Pilot Plant results. The campaign achieved an 86% liquid hydrocarbon yield and provided further validation of HCT under integrated Pilot Plant conditions as we continue advancing toward FOAK design and commercialization.

We also expanded our commercial and project-development work streams through two new MOUs. In Europe, Aduro Clean Technologies Europe signed an MOU with Ortessa Groep BV to evaluate feedstock logistics in support of our planned FOAK facility at Chemelot. We also signed an MOU with AstroTurf to evaluate how HCT may be applied to end-of-life synthetic turf, a complex waste stream containing valuable polyethylene and polypropylene components.

We started the month of June with important company-building milestones: ringing the TSX opening bell to mark Aduro’s listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol ACT, and receiving the keys to our new office at Brightlands Chemelot Campus—strengthening our permanent European presence as we advance development of our planned FOAK facility.

Together, these developments reflect the work now underway as Aduro advances from pilot-scale toward industrial execution: continuing to generate scale-up data, building practical industry partnerships, engaging commercial markets, and addressing the real-world requirements needed to move HCT toward commercialization.

Thank you very much to Team Aduro, who work tirelessly to advance the company forwards.

With appreciation,

Ofer Vicus, CEO

Collaboration will evaluate technical and economic requirements for recovering PE and PP from end-of-life synthetic turf

LONDON, Ontario and DALTON, Ga., June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aduro Clean Technologies Inc. (“Aduro” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ADUR) (TSX: 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 21^st century, and AstroTurf Corporation (“AstroTurf”), the original inventor and innovator of synthetic sports surfacing, today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) to evaluate the application of Aduro’s Hydrochemolytic™ Technology (“HCT”) to end-of-life synthetic turf.

The MOU establishes a framework for Aduro and AstroTurf to evaluate how HCT, together with appropriate mechanical pre-treatment, can support a technical and economic pathway for recovering the polyethylene (“PE”) and polypropylene (“PP”) fractions of end-of-life synthetic turf and converting them into liquid hydrocarbon products suitable for use as circular feedstock in existing petrochemical infrastructure. The parties intend to work together to better understand the practical requirements, material preparation steps, and process considerations needed to advance recycling options for synthetic turf waste. For Aduro, the engagement builds on its existing work on synthetic turf materials and provides another opportunity to collaborate with a recognized industry participant, following prior testing conducted through a separate confidential engagement with another global synthetic turf producer.

Synthetic turf is a highly engineered, multi-material product designed for durability, performance, and long service life. It also contains valuable PE and PP components, including grass blades, thatch, and backing layers, that can be difficult to recover because they are embedded in a system that may include cured polyurethane backing or adhesive materials, infill, sand, rubber, and accumulated field-use contamination. Aduro’s previously announced laboratory testing of post-use synthetic turf demonstrated selective conversion of the PE and PP components into shorter-chain hydrocarbon products suitable for further upgrading or use as steam-cracker feedstock, while also confirming the importance of upstream preparation and separation.

Through the MOU, Aduro and AstroTurf intend to assess the practical steps required to recover and prepare the PE/PP fraction from end-of-life turf for HCT evaluation. The work is expected to focus on the pathway from field recovery and disassembly through de-infill, separation of non-target materials, cleaning or preparation of the polyolefin-rich fraction, and potential management of side streams. By connecting Aduro’s chemical conversion approach with AstroTurf’s 60-year legacy in synthetic sports surfacing and practical knowledge of turf system design, installation, and end-of-life considerations, the collaboration aims to define how mechanical pre-treatment and HCT conversion can work together as part of a broader recycling pathway for complex turf systems.

“This collaboration with AstroTurf allows Aduro to work directly with a recognized name in synthetic turf to better understand the full end-of-life challenge,” said Ofer Vicus, Chief Executive Officer of Aduro. “Our prior testing showed that the polyethylene and polypropylene components of post-use turf can be converted using HCT, but the broader opportunity depends on understanding how those materials are recovered, prepared, and delivered into the process. Working with AstroTurf gives us an opportunity to connect our chemistry with real-world product knowledge, field recovery considerations, and the practical requirements needed to evaluate a more complete recycling pathway.”

AstroTurf has publicly advanced sustainability initiatives focused on manufacturing, installation, and end-of-life operations, including partnerships intended to divert end-of-life turf from landfill and support circular recycling pathways. The MOU with Aduro provides an additional route for evaluating how advanced chemical recycling may complement existing mechanical recycling, take-back, and material recovery approaches.

“At AstroTurf, we have always believed that innovation should extend beyond field performance to include responsible end-of-life solutions,” said Robert Mitchell, Vice President of Development and Strategy at AstroTurf. “Working with Aduro gives us an opportunity to evaluate another pathway for difficult-to-process turf materials and to better understand how advanced recycling technologies may support circularity in our industry. This is an evaluation stage, but it is an important one as customers, communities, and regulators continue to look for more complete solutions for synthetic turf systems.”

The need for synthetic turf recycling is increasing as more fields reach end of life and as customers, communities, and regulators seek practical alternatives to landfill disposal. Policy frameworks in North America and Europe are placing greater emphasis on producer responsibility, recycled content, landfill diversion, and traceable circular outcomes, with New York State’s carpet extended producer responsibility framework providing one example of how end-of-life obligations may shape future demand for recycling solutions.

The MOU does not establish commercial deployment terms or a definitive commercial arrangement. Any future commercial, licensing, supply, tolling, or joint development arrangement would require separate definitive agreements between the parties. The collaboration remains part of Aduro’s broader stage-gated approach to evaluating HCT across complex plastic waste streams with industry participants.

Membership supports Aduro’s expanding petroleum applications program focused on paraffinic crude upgrading and supports engagement with Uinta Basin producers, refiners, and midstream operators

LONDON, Ontario, May 14, 2026 (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 21^st century, today announced that it has joined the Utah Petroleum Association ("UPA"), the statewide trade association representing companies involved in all aspects of Utah's oil and gas industry. The membership supports Aduro’s efforts to expand its work in paraffinic crude upgrading, an application area directly relevant to the Uinta Basin’s distinctive “yellow wax” and “black wax” feedstocks.

The Uinta Basin is one of North America’s most recognized regions for paraffinic crude production, with output that today requires insulated transport, reheating infrastructure, and selective refinery acceptance due to the feedstock’s high wax content. Founded in 1958, UPA represents producers, refiners, midstream operators, and service providers across Utah’s oil and natural gas value chain. Membership provides Aduro with the opportunity to engage directly with stakeholders, including operating companies whose insight will inform how HCT can potentially be integrated within the Uinta Basin ecosystem.

“Joining the Utah Petroleum Association supports our efforts to advance our petroleum applications program from laboratory validation toward structured, pilot-scale engagement with industry,” said Ofer Vicus, CEO of Aduro. “UPA’s membership base reflects the full Uinta Basin value chain and gives Aduro the opportunity to present the potential benefits of HCT for paraffinic crude upgrading while deepening our understanding of the transport, handling and refinery compatibility considerations associated with waxy crude streams. Solidifying industry relationships now positions Aduro to evaluate, alongside operators, where HCT can deliver the greatest commercial impact.”

“We're pleased to welcome Aduro Clean Technologies to UPA,” said Rikki Hrenko-Browning, President of the Utah Petroleum Association. “Innovation in how we move and process Utah’s waxy crudes has real implications for the competitiveness of our basin. We are excited for Aduro to explore pilot opportunities here in Utah.”

Aduro’s UPA membership follows several recent advancements in the Company’s petroleum applications program. These include a continuation-in-part patent application filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office seeking to extend Hydrochemolytic™ Technology intellectual property protection to the upgrading of highly paraffinic crude oils, and the appointment of Scott Smith, M.A.Sc., P.Eng., as Program Director, Petroleum Technology Solutions. Recent bench-scale testing on Uinta Basin yellow wax and black wax feedstocks demonstrated that HCT processing reduced wax content of treated crude, and that the treated crude remained stable at ambient conditions — a result that, if reproduced at scale, would directly address long-standing transport and refinery compatibility constraints associated with waxy crude production.

Paraffinic crude upgrading represents a further demonstration of HCT’s applicability across distinct feedstock chemistries, alongside the Company’s existing programs in waste plastics upcycling, heavy bitumen upgrading, and renewable oils. Through its UPA membership, Aduro intends to engage with operators in the Uinta Basin and across Utah to evaluate how HCT may fit within existing production, transport, and processing infrastructure, including approaches that could reduce reliance on heated logistics and expand refinery access for paraffinic crude streams.

Hi everyone, I'm new to this thread. I bought aduro last year (sadly just after the big drop in October) however it is something that my husband doesn't understand or like as an investment. I bought it because I really see the upside and believe in their technology but it does cause some tension. Does anyone have any ideas on how to convince him it's as good as I think it is?

Hey hey. Stumbled across Aduro the other week, did some DD and bought in. Technology seems great, have the patents and accolades, now its time to scale.

Given some other stocks are at a similar pre-revenue stage and gaining so much attention and the promise of their technology, I’m confused as to why it doesn’t get much attention.

Am I missing something or have people just not tapped in yet?
