Aduro & ECOCE Advance Flexible Plastic Recycling Trials in Mexico
AI Summary
Aduro Clean Technologies Inc. announced its collaboration with ECOCE, A.C. has progressed to the next phase, initiating Hydrochemolytic™ (HCT) technology trials for selected post-consumer flexible plastic packaging in Mexico. Following the completion of Phase 1, which involved raw material mapping and stream selection, the focus is now on evaluating the conversion of these difficult-to-recycle plastics into liquid hydrocarbon products for circular applications. This partnership aims to provide a valorization pathway for approximately 1.5 million tonnes of flexible plastic packaging produced annually in Mexico, with initial lab-scale assessments leading to potential pilot plant trials.
