Aduro Clean Technologies (Nasdaq: ADUR) reported operating income of C$1,202,141 for its first fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2026. This compared with a C$6,325,018 operating loss a year earlier, primarily reflecting a non-cash derivative revaluation gain and lower share-based compensation. Revenue fell to nil from C$44,500, while the adjusted EBITDA loss widened to C$2,734,587 from C$2,254,384.
Cash rose to C$65,751,811 from C$38,298,048 at May 31, supported by approximately C$28.9 million in net financing proceeds. The company advanced pilot operations and selected Saipem for early engineering and procurement support for its planned first-of-a-kind plant at Chemelot. Further Saipem work remains conditional on early-work completion, project evaluation and definitive agreements. Feedstock and technology-testing collaborations also progressed.
Aduro Clean Technologies (ADUR) announced Chief Revenue Officer Eric Appelman’s election to Chemical Recycling Europe’s board for the 2026–2028 mandate. The election took place at the association’s General Assembly in Brussels on September 29, 2026. The association represents chemical recycling companies and engages with policymakers and industry participants.
Aduro is also advancing its planned 10,000 metric-tonne-per-year first-of-a-kind plant at Chemelot Industrial Park in the Netherlands. Engineering, permitting, site integration and project-development activities continue. Operating campaigns at its NGP Pilot Plant are generating technical and product data to support scale-up of Hydrochemolytic Technology. Feedstock development, customer engagement and downstream product qualification are progressing. The association’s priorities include investment policy, demand for circular materials and implementation of recycled-content rules.
Aduro Clean Technologies (ADUR) reported high condensable hydrocarbon yields from its Next Generation Process (NGP) Pilot Plant during a 75-hour September 2026 campaign.
The run processed approximately 758 kg of polyolefin feed and achieved condensable hydrocarbon yields of 88.8% on 100% polypropylene (PP), 90.8% on an 80:20 PP/polyethylene (PE) blend, and 89.2% on a 50:50 PP/PE blend. Product-quality indicators were consistent with prior campaigns, and the system returned to target operating conditions about two hours sooner than in a comparable earlier run, indicating improved process control. Data and learnings from successive NGP campaigns are being used to iteratively refine equipment, controls, and procedures and are directly feeding into Early Works engineering and procurement for the First-of-a-Kind (FOAK) Plant at Chemelot, led by Saipem.
Aduro Clean Technologies (ADUR) has been invited as one of 10 companies to present at the second PepsiCo Sustainability Innovation Hub on September 23, 2026, at Hábitat CDMX in Mexico City.
Chief Revenue Officer Eric Appelman will present the company’s Hydrochemolytic™ Technology (“HCT”) as a chemical recycling pathway for complex, polyolefin-rich waste plastics, with emphasis on flexible films and multilayer packaging that are difficult to recycle mechanically. The presentation will draw on Aduro’s laboratory-scale HCT work with ECOCE in Mexico and ongoing development at its Next Generation Process Pilot Plant in Canada, which is informing design of a planned 10,000 metric-tonne-per-year first-of-a-kind plant at Chemelot in the Netherlands. Any future engagement with PepsiCo would require separate agreements.
Aduro Clean Technologies (ADUR) will present its Hydrochemolytic™ Technology for polyolefin recycling at the Chemical Recycling Europe Annual Conference 2026 in Brussels on September 30, 2026.
Chief Revenue Officer Eric Appelman will outline the evolution of Hydrochemolytic™ Technology (HCT) from pilot-scale validation through the Next Generation Process Pilot Plant toward the planned First-of-a-Kind Plant at Chemelot. HCT is being developed to convert difficult-to-recycle polyolefins into circular hydrocarbon products, supported by seven issued patents and four pending applications. Aduro recently reported about 86% liquid hydrocarbon recovery in steady-state polypropylene runs and selected Saipem S.p.A. for Early Works engineering and procurement to support the FOAK plant design.
Aduro Clean Technologies (Nasdaq: ADUR) reported fiscal year 2026 results for the period ended May 31, 2026. Loss from operations increased to $26.9 million from $12.1 million, while annual revenue declined 28% to $167,206, with Q4 revenue at nil. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was a loss of $10.7 million versus $8.2 million in 2025.
The company strengthened its cash position to $38.3 million from $7.0 million, largely from two U.S. public offerings with net proceeds of about $39.95 million. Property, plant and equipment rose 104% to $8.36 million, driven by investment in the NGP Pilot Plant and FOAK facility. Subsequent financings added roughly $31 million in gross proceeds.
Operationally, Aduro advanced its Hydrochemolytic™ Technology, initiating NGP pilot campaigns, signing a non-binding offtake-focused LOI with a commodities trader, an MOU with a global EPC to develop a commercial licence package, and appointing project leadership for its FOAK facility at Chemelot.
Aduro Clean Technologies (Nasdaq: ADUR) has selected Saipem to provide Early Works engineering and procurement support for its planned First-of-a-Kind (FOAK) Hydrochemolytic™ Technology (HCT) Facility at the Chemelot Industrial Park in the Netherlands.
The Early Works program, funded from Aduro’s existing cash resources and not expected to require additional financing, will cover review of the Process Design Package, optimization of key equipment packages, preliminary utility integration, and capital cost refinement. Aduro and Saipem intend to use a structured, stage-gated execution model that links engineering with technical validation and incorporates data from Aduro’s Next Generation Process pilot plant.
Subject to successful completion of each stage, ongoing project evaluation, and definitive agreements, the collaboration may advance through FEED, detailed engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and start-up, forming the industrial reference design for future commercial HCT plants.
Aduro Clean Technologies (Nasdaq: ADUR) reported key advances in its paraffinic crude oil program using Hydrochemolytic™ Technology (HCT). The company has secured yellow and black paraffinic crude feedstocks from multiple Uinta Basin sources in quantities sufficient for the next phase of test campaigns and longer-duration continuous-flow testing.
Aduro completed the design, build and testing of a new lab-scale continuous-flow unit dedicated to paraffinic crude at its expanded London, Ontario facility, which has grown by about 4,600 square feet. Operations and R2 units were relocated from Sarnia to London, consolidating development activities. Current work, led by Program Director Scott Smith, is in the later stages of Technology Demonstration and aims to establish the operating envelope for extended continuous-flow HCT operation, supporting eventual progression into Process Development and Optimization, then Piloting and Commercial Demonstration.
Aduro Clean Technologies (Nasdaq: ADUR) reported that its collaboration with Mexican non-profit ECOCE has completed Phase 1 feedstock mapping for post-consumer flexible and multilayer plastic packaging in Mexico, advancing selected streams into Hydrochemolytic™ Technology (HCT) testing.
According to Aduro, ECOCE’s national mapping identified multiple flexible polyethylene, polypropylene, and multilayer packaging streams, assessing volume, collection routes, contamination, and preparation needs. Candidate streams with sufficient scale and suitable characteristics will now undergo lab-scale HCT evaluation to study processability, product properties, yield, contaminant behaviour, and mass balance as circular hydrocarbon feedstocks. Successful results could progress to Phase 3 testing on Aduro’s Next Generation Process Pilot Plant, supporting future scale-up and commercial analysis for returning difficult-to-recycle flexible packaging to the plastics value chain.
