What Happened

Aduro Clean Technologies and ECOCE have completed Phase 1 feedstock mapping as part of their collaboration to address Mexico's flexible plastic packaging waste. Mexico generates 1.5 million tonnes of this waste annually. The successful lab results will now lead to Phase 3 pilot-plant testing for potential scale-up. This development is part of a broader strategy that includes a European subsidiary recently signing a memorandum of understanding with Ortessa Groep for a feedstock logistics center in the Netherlands. The company also announced a $15.64 million public offering and a concurrent $7.17 million private placement.
