Aduro Clean Technologies Engages Delphi To Conduct Life Cycle Assessment Of Hydrochemolytic Technology For Waste Plastic Processing

Aduro Clean Technologies Inc. ("Aduro" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: ADUR) (CSE: ACT) (FSE: 9D5), a clean technology company using the power of chemistry to transform lower-value feedstocks, like waste plastics, heavy bitumen, and renewable oils, into resources for the 21st century, today announced that it has engaged Delphi, a leading Canadian sustainability consultancy, to conduct a Life Cycle Assessment ("LCA") of the Company's Hydrochemolytic™ technology for waste plastic processing.

Delphi is a strategic consulting firm with 35 years of experience, specializing in corporate sustainability, climate change, the green economy, and cleantech innovation. The LCA is part of Aduro's strategic roadmap to independently assess and quantify the environmental performance of its chemical recycling platform through a phased, data-driven process. With increasing regulatory and market emphasis on measurable environmental outcomes, the LCA provides a foundation for engaging stakeholders with credible, third party-reviewed information. Additionally, the LCA will provide critical data to assist in identifying and minimizing inefficiencies and energy consumption throughout the process, assisting in maximizing resource efficiency and reducing operational costs.

The project will begin with a screening-level LCA focused on greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions and energy use, associated with operating the Hydrochemolytic™ technology process. This assessment, based on pre-pilot-scale performance data and forward-looking design parameters, will follow ISO 14040 and 14044 frameworks to provide directional insights into the technology's environmental profile. This phase will lay the groundwork for future work as more detailed data becomes available. The screening assessment will support Aduro's broader efforts to align its innovation strategy with the performance expectations of regulators, customers, and investors in the circular economy.

Subsequent phases of the LCA will incorporate operational data from the Company's Next Generation Process ("NGP") pilot plant, which is currently under construction. The second phase will provide a more comprehensive, ISO-compliant assessment of all relevant life cycle stages, including feedstock sourcing and downstream product pathways. A final phase is anticipated to support a comparative LCA, benchmarking the Hydrochemolytic™ process against other chemical recycling approaches.
