Aduro Clean Technologies, a Canadian developer of patented water-based technologies to chemically recycle plastics and to transform heavy crude and renewable oils into new-era resources and higher-value fuels, announced their partnership with Chemelot Innovation and Learning Labs (CHILL) to execute an experimentation program at the Brightlands Chemelot Campus in Geleen, the Netherlands, with the aim to optimize its next generation chemical recycling platform and to accelerate the company’s path to commercialization.

Aduro is providing financial support to CHILL through a Platinum Partnership and in return receiving access to skilled researchers, specialized equipment for testing and analysis of data, and additional services including access to CHILL partner events and public relations campaigns.

“Aduro’s commitment to chemical recycling and their expertise in sustainable chemistry align with our mission to foster innovation and growth on the Brightlands Chemelot Campus. We are thrilled to welcome them as our Platinum Partner,” said Jorgo Merchiers, Business Developer of Materials Lab at CHILL.

Under their Community for Development program, CHILL will execute focused experiments around the Hydrochemolytic process for plastics upcycling (HPU). The engagement provides an opportunity for Aduro to work on several defined-scope projects that accelerate the scale-up of the company’s Hydrochemolytic Technology.

"The partnership with CHILL provides Aduro with an exceptional opportunity to work alongside experts in the field of chemistry and materials science. By leveraging CHILL's extensive resources, Aduro can accelerate its development of breakthrough chemical recycling solutions that will play a crucial role in building a sustainable future for all," said Gene Cammack, COO of Aduro.

"Aduro has taken a significant step forward in its collaboration with Brightlands Chemelot Campus. As we continue to progress towards commercialization, the support of the Brightlands community is vital in scaling up and establishing our brand as a prominent player in the chemical recycling industry in Europe and globally. We are looking forward to working alongside the Brightlands and CHILL teams in achieving our vision of achieving plastic circularity in support of the transition to a lower carbon future," says Ofer Vicus, CEO of Aduro.
