12:50 PM EDT, 04/04/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Aduro Clean Technologies ( ACTHF ) , a Canadian technology company, provided an update Thursday on its research project titled "Tuning Supercritical Fluids for Polymer Recycling to Monomers and Chemicals" in partnership with Ontario's Western University.

Launched in early 2023 with a C$1.15 million in grant funding from the NSERC Alliance and Mitacs Accelerate Grants Program, complemented by a C$382,500 additional contribution from Aduro, the three-year project is to advance the company's polymer recycling program through further research, while providing "high-quality training and mentoring to the project researchers to develop them as highly qualified personnel for advanced polymer recycling," states a company press release.

A critical aspect of the research is aimed at identifying and quantifying impurities in polyolefins and understanding the fate of those impurities in different chemical recycling processes. The research further delved into advanced sorting and processing techniques for polyolefin waste, laying the groundwork for more precise and effective recycling methods.

The company touts its operations as "using the power of chemistry to transform lower value feedstocks, like waste plastics, heavy bitumen, and renewable oils, into resources for the 21st century,"
