Aduro Clean Technologies to present innovative solution for chemical recycling

On 21 November 2024, Eric Appelman, the company’s Chief Revenue Officer will present explore how Aduro’s Hydrochemolytic™ technology addresses some longstanding challenges in the chemical recycling of complex and contaminated plastic waste streams. Appelman will present the technology’s approach that enables the selective breakdown of mixed plastics into valuable, saturated hydrocarbons while removing contaminants in a single, streamlined process.

 

Recycling mixed plastics often involves a combination of mechanical and chemical methods, with the remaining non-mechanically recyclable portions posing economic and technical challenges. Conventional pyrolysis can be energy-intensive and costly, especially when extensive after treatment is needed to remove contaminants and stabilise the end product.

Aduro’s technology offers a promising alternative. Unlike conventional methods, it operates without the need for molecular hydrogen which in return reduces the negative environmental footprint while also reducing capital and operating cost and enabling the ability to build right-sized modular systems. By efficiently breaking down complex plastic mixtures and selectively removing impurities, this technology reduces post-treatment costs and enables higher-value product streams.
