Aduro Clean Technologies Files Amended LIFE Offering After Closing $15.54M Public Offering

Aduro Clean Technologies, a pioneer in chemical recycling of plastics, has announced the closing of a $15.54 million underwritten public offering and the filing of an amended and restated LIFE (Listed Issuer Financing Exemption) offering document.

Strengthening the Financial Foundation

The funding strengthens Aduro’s financial position as it advances toward commercialization of its proprietary Hydrochemolytic™ technology — a process that converts plastic waste into valuable hydrocarbons. The company’s approach targets mixed plastic waste streams that are difficult or impossible to recycle mechanically.

What Aduro Is Building

Aduro is developing its first-of-a-kind (FOAK) commercial-scale facility at the Chemelot Industrial Park in the Netherlands. The plant is designed to process 10,000 tonnes of mixed plastic waste per year using the Hydrochemolytic process, which breaks down plastics into feedstock for new chemicals and fuels.

The company recently appointed Jan Lemmens, a senior European industrial leader, to lead delivery of the FOAK facility. Aduro has also signed an MOU with Ortessa Groep BV to advance feedstock logistics for the plant.

Why It Matters

Chemical recycling is increasingly seen as a critical complement to mechanical recycling, especially for mixed and contaminated plastic waste. Aduro’s Hydrochemolytic technology operates at lower temperatures than pyrolysis and produces outputs that can directly feed into existing petrochemical infrastructure.

With $15.54 million in fresh funding, Aduro is well-positioned to complete engineering and begin construction of its commercial facility — a significant milestone for the chemical recycling industry.
