Selected streams from Mexico’s flexible and multilayer plastic waste, a category estimated at approximately 1.5 million tonnes annually, advance to HCT testing for circular feedstock evaluation

LONDON, Ontario, July 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aduro Clean Technologies Inc. (“Aduro” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ADUR) (TSX: 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 its collaboration with ECOCE, A.C. (“ECOCE”) has advanced to the next phase following completion of Phase 1 feedstock mapping and stream selection. Selected post-consumer flexible plastic packaging streams in Mexico are now moving into a Hydrochemolytic™ Technology (“HCT”) test campaign to evaluate their conversion into liquid hydrocarbon products for downstream circular plastics applications.

The collaboration, announced in December 2025, is structured as a phased, data-driven evaluation of flexible plastic packaging collected through recovery systems in Mexico. Phase 1 drew on ECOCE’s ongoing national feedstock mapping program, conducted for its member companies, from which the parties completed the selection of candidate material streams for the next stage of work. Led by ECOCE, the mapping identified multiple post-consumer flexible packaging streams and assessed them for estimated availability, collection routes, physical form, contamination profile, and preparation requirements. The work identified candidate streams with sufficient available volume to support an industrially relevant evaluation and with material characteristics that warrant advancement to HCT testing.

Flexible plastic packaging is one of the most difficult material categories to manage within existing recycling systems. These streams can include polyethylene, polypropylene, and multilayer packaging formats, along with inks, adhesives, mixed structures, small formats, and varying levels of contamination. In line with the waste hierarchy, reduction, reuse, and mechanical recycling remain preferred options where they are technically and economically viable. For flexible packaging streams that are not well suited to mechanical or physical recycling, the collaboration is evaluating whether HCT can provide a route to recover hydrocarbon value from these materials and help return them to the plastics value chain.

ECOCE has identified flexible plastic packaging as a major and growing material category in Mexico, with available data indicating that approximately 1.5 million tonnes of flexible plastic packaging are generated annually in the country. Phase 1 has built on that market context by mapping candidate flexible and multilayer plastic packaging waste streams, including material categories, collection routes, geographic sourcing, and indicative contamination levels. The materials mapped through Phase 1 include flexible polypropylene packaging, flexible polyethylene packaging, and multilayer flexible packaging, including common post-consumer formats such as snack and cookie wrappers, grocery and bread bags, seed and grain packaging, pet food packaging, cold-cut and dairy packaging, and resealable pouch formats.

ECOCE’s work with leading food and beverage companies, representing more than 400 brands, gives the collaboration practical relevance to packaging value-chain priorities and the need for credible circularity options for difficult-to-recycle flexible packaging. The objective is to build an evidence-based understanding of how selected flexible packaging streams can move through a circular value chain: from post-consumer collection and characterization, through feedstock preparation and HCT conversion, to liquid hydrocarbon products for evaluation by petrochemical and polymer value chains.

With Phase 1 complete and the next-phase testing program defined, the collaboration now moves into HCT testing of selected material streams. Aduro will begin with lab-scale evaluation to assess how selected Mexican flexible and multilayer plastic waste streams respond to HCT, including processability, product characteristics, yield, residues, contaminant behaviour, and mass balance. As part of this next phase, Adrián Velasco, Director of Flexible Plastic Packaging at ECOCE, will visit Aduro facilities to review the testing pathway, sample requirements, and pilot-scale development program. The visit will help align ECOCE’s knowledge of recovery systems in Mexico with the Company’s technical evaluation process as selected streams move from feedstock mapping into HCT testing. Successful lab-scale results will inform progression to Phase 3 testing on the Next Generation Process (“NGP”) Pilot Plant to support scale-up assessment, customer evaluation, and future commercial analysis.

“Phase 1 has moved this collaboration from a market opportunity into a defined technical feedstock program,” said Ofer Vicus, CEO of Aduro. “ECOCE brings practical insight into how flexible packaging moves through Mexican recovery systems, helping us select representative material streams for HCT testing. The next phase will generate the data that matters for scale-up and economics, including processability, product quality, yield, contaminant behaviour, and the potential value of HCT-derived liquids as circular hydrocarbon feedstocks. This is how Aduro advances commercialization: by connecting real materials, downstream requirements, economic validation, and a clear pathway from lab testing to the NGP Pilot Plant.”

“Flexible plastic packaging is one of the most important material-management challenges in Mexico,” said Adrián Velasco, Director of Flexible Plastic Packaging at ECOCE. “Through this collaboration, ECOCE is helping connect real recovery-system data with the technical work needed to evaluate circular solutions for these materials. My visit to Aduro facilities as the collaboration moves into HCT testing will allow us to review the testing pathway directly, align on sample requirements, and better understand how selected Mexican flexible packaging streams could be evaluated for return to the plastics value chain.”

Results from the next phase will give Aduro and ECOCE the technical and economic evidence to help assess material suitability, product quality, scale-up requirements, and future commercial options for returning difficult-to-recycle flexible packaging to the plastics value chain.

374Water's Mobile AirSCWO System Completes Phase 1 in St. Cloud, MN with Phase 2 Underway with Strong Early Results

The mobile AirSCWO brings the full capability of larger modular systems for wastes that cannot be transported and for onsite pilot demonstrations

MORRISVILLE, NC / ACCESS Newswire / June 30, 2026 / 374Water Inc. (NASDAQ:SCWO) ("374Water" or the "Company"), a leading cleantech and environmental services company deploying supercritical water oxidation technology for the permanent destruction of organic waste through its proprietary AirSCWO™, today announced the completion of Phase 1 of the St. Cloud, Minnesota campaign and provided an update on operations of its mobile AirSCWO system.

Project Update

The St. Cloud deployment is being conducted under a $600,000 Waste Destruction Services contract with the City of St. Cloud, in partnership with Barr Engineering, at the City's Nutrient, Energy, and Water Recovery Facility. This facility is a national leader, known for its innovative resource recovery practices.  Receiving approximately 10 million gallons daily, the facility exemplifies a culture of innovation as it consistently pioneers and pilots industry-changing technologies.

 The pilot program is scheduled to run through mid-September 2026, processing undigested and post-thermal hydrolysis digested waste streams as part of the State of Minnesota's LCCMR-supported evaluation of AirSCWO technology for the destruction of PFAS-laden wastes.

374Water’s mobile AirSCWO system departed the Company’s Orlando testing facility in May.

Phase 1 Complete: Class B Biosolids Processing

The mobile AirSCWO system has successfully completed Phase 1 of the St. Cloud deployment, a four-week processing campaign targeting Class B biosolids at solids concentrations of up to 10%. The Company is conducting analyses of Phase 1 performance data and is seeing positive early results consistent with previous AirSCWO campaigns, providing yet another proof point of technology validation.

The mobile system allows for minimal infrastructure in places where that is not viable.

Phase 2 Underway: Class A Lystek Biosolids

Building on the completion of Phase 1, the 374Water field team is now one week into Phase 2 of the deployment, which involves processing Class A Lystek biosolids. Operations have been steady, with no major operational challenges encountered to date. The Company is pleased with the pace of the program and the performance of the mobile system under field conditions.

The campaign has now seen multiple types of biosolids successfully processed with more to come as the project moves forward.

A successful pilot is expected to support Minnesota's broader assessment of AirSCWO for permanent PFAS destruction — an outcome the Company believes could generate multiple millions of dollars in revenue, including recurring annual revenue from ongoing operations and services. The mobile AirSCWO system is estimated to have the potential to generate between $500,000 and $1.5 million in annual revenue per unit, depending on deployment cadence, waste stream composition, and contract structure.  We are seeing eager demand for this system and are excited to announce the successive campaign following successful performance in Minnesota.

Expanding the Mobile AirSCWO Commercial Pipeline

Beyond the LCCMR project, 374Water's solutions team is actively developing additional projects that will follow this deployment and are designed to demonstrate the full commercial capabilities of AirSCWO in a mobile configuration. The Company is encouraged by the interest it is seeing across multiple end markets and believes the St. Cloud deployment is building a foundation for a scalable, recurring mobile services business.

“We are proud of our field team and the steady, professional operations they have delivered since day one in St. Cloud,” said Brad Meyers, Chief Operating Officer of 374Water. “Phase 1 is complete with strong early data, and Phase 2 is off to an equally solid start. What we’re seeing in the field validates both the reliability of the technology and the commercial model. Importantly, this deployment is reinforcing what we’re already hearing from the market — demand for mobile AirSCWO services is real and growing, both as a complement to our expanding fixed-site WDS business and as a demonstration platform that is opening doors with new customers.”

374Water will continue to provide updates on the St. Cloud pilot program, Phase 2 performance results, and the development of follow-on mobile deployments as they become available.

Collaboration will evaluate technical and economic requirements for recovering PE and PP from end-of-life synthetic turf

LONDON, Ontario and DALTON, Ga., June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aduro Clean Technologies Inc. (“Aduro” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ADUR) (TSX: 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 21^(st) century, and AstroTurf Corporation (“AstroTurf”), the original inventor and innovator of synthetic sports surfacing, today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) to evaluate the application of Aduro’s Hydrochemolytic™ Technology (“HCT”) to end-of-life synthetic turf.

The MOU establishes a framework for Aduro and AstroTurf to evaluate how HCT, together with appropriate mechanical pre-treatment, can support a technical and economic pathway for recovering the polyethylene (“PE”) and polypropylene (“PP”) fractions of end-of-life synthetic turf and converting them into liquid hydrocarbon products suitable for use as circular feedstock in existing petrochemical infrastructure. The parties intend to work together to better understand the practical requirements, material preparation steps, and process considerations needed to advance recycling options for synthetic turf waste. For Aduro, the engagement builds on its existing work on synthetic turf materials and provides another opportunity to collaborate with a recognized industry participant, following prior testing conducted through a separate confidential engagement with another global synthetic turf producer.

Synthetic turf is a highly engineered, multi-material product designed for durability, performance, and long service life. It also contains valuable PE and PP components, including grass blades, thatch, and backing layers, that can be difficult to recover because they are embedded in a system that may include cured polyurethane backing or adhesive materials, infill, sand, rubber, and accumulated field-use contamination. Aduro’s previously announced laboratory testing of post-use synthetic turf demonstrated selective conversion of the PE and PP components into shorter-chain hydrocarbon products suitable for further upgrading or use as steam-cracker feedstock, while also confirming the importance of upstream preparation and separation.

Through the MOU, Aduro and AstroTurf intend to assess the practical steps required to recover and prepare the PE/PP fraction from end-of-life turf for HCT evaluation. The work is expected to focus on the pathway from field recovery and disassembly through de-infill, separation of non-target materials, cleaning or preparation of the polyolefin-rich fraction, and potential management of side streams. By connecting Aduro’s chemical conversion approach with AstroTurf’s 60-year legacy in synthetic sports surfacing and practical knowledge of turf system design, installation, and end-of-life considerations, the collaboration aims to define how mechanical pre-treatment and HCT conversion can work together as part of a broader recycling pathway for complex turf systems.

“This collaboration with AstroTurf allows Aduro to work directly with a recognized name in synthetic turf to better understand the full end-of-life challenge,” said Ofer Vicus, Chief Executive Officer of Aduro. “Our prior testing showed that the polyethylene and polypropylene components of post-use turf can be converted using HCT, but the broader opportunity depends on understanding how those materials are recovered, prepared, and delivered into the process. Working with AstroTurf gives us an opportunity to connect our chemistry with real-world product knowledge, field recovery considerations, and the practical requirements needed to evaluate a more complete recycling pathway.”

AstroTurf has publicly advanced sustainability initiatives focused on manufacturing, installation, and end-of-life operations, including partnerships intended to divert end-of-life turf from landfill and support circular recycling pathways. The MOU with Aduro provides an additional route for evaluating how advanced chemical recycling may complement existing mechanical recycling, take-back, and material recovery approaches.

“At AstroTurf, we have always believed that innovation should extend beyond field performance to include responsible end-of-life solutions,” said Robert Mitchell, Vice President of Development and Strategy at AstroTurf. “Working with Aduro gives us an opportunity to evaluate another pathway for difficult-to-process turf materials and to better understand how advanced recycling technologies may support circularity in our industry. This is an evaluation stage, but it is an important one as customers, communities, and regulators continue to look for more complete solutions for synthetic turf systems.”

The need for synthetic turf recycling is increasing as more fields reach end of life and as customers, communities, and regulators seek practical alternatives to landfill disposal. Policy frameworks in North America and Europe are placing greater emphasis on producer responsibility, recycled content, landfill diversion, and traceable circular outcomes, with New York State’s carpet extended producer responsibility framework providing one example of how end-of-life obligations may shape future demand for recycling solutions.

The MOU does not establish commercial deployment terms or a definitive commercial arrangement. Any future commercial, licensing, supply, tolling, or joint development arrangement would require separate definitive agreements between the parties. The collaboration remains part of Aduro’s broader stage-gated approach to evaluating HCT across complex plastic waste streams with industry participants.

374Water has had a few PRs that gave revenue figures and the SP never reacted to these revenue announcements, but I don't see how the SP won't be able to move when the quarters finally hit and we see the huge ramp up in revenue, so my goal of this post is to list these revenue announcements and then fit them in to future quarters for this year.

Date	Revenue	Source
June 9th	Expanded Iron Bridge Facility to Add 88,000 Gallons of Tank Storage, Upgraded AirSCWO™ Capacity Targeting $3M-$5M in Annual WDS Revenue at Initial Scale with Ongoing Negotiations to Double Capacity and Revenue Potential	https://finance.yahoo.com/sectors/energy/articles/374water-expands-orlando-partnership-amended-120000402.html
June 2nd	This achievement unlocks the ability to progress towards successive milestones and the remaining $3M on the contract as milestones are achieved.	https://finance.yahoo.com/sectors/energy/articles/374water-advances-solution-worlds-growing-120000117.html
May 12th	The mobile AirSCWO system is being deployed under a $600,000 Waste Destruction Services contract with the City of St. Cloud ... through mid-September 2026	https://finance.yahoo.com/sectors/energy/articles/374waters-mobile-airscwo-system-arrives-123500556.html
Q1 earnings	Received the purchase order and associated milestone payment of $2.2M from Garney Construction for the City of Olathe sale and services contract. The total contract is valued at more than $4.5M.	https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/933972/000165495426004906/scwo_ex991.htm

Q1 was only 0.55M revenue, so Q2+ should be easily able to get much higher than that, like even 1M would be a QoQ increase of 100% (which sounds good and can be noticed especially by non human traders).

If we even just add up these 4 things that's 11.1M (using 3M for Iron Bridge's revenue) but I'll minus 2.2M from Olathe since it says they've already received 2.2M but then again actually no I won't remove that because clearly that revenue hasn't been recognized in Q1 if Q1 was only 0.5M.

So just these 4 things if spread out evenly over the rest of the year would be an average of 3.7M, but I don't want to be too optimistic and look like a fool so lets say maybe just 6M for the next 3 quarters, now look at how good 6M would look on the revenue chart where it goes 1M for Q2 2M for Q3 and 3M for Q4:

That's how good the revenue chart for SCWO could look in 9 months when Q4 has been released. The market won't be able to ignore revenue growth like that. We're getting to invest in SCWO just before the revenue takes off.

I only did a check because saw NNE trending on stocktwits, but the reasons were from press releases weeks ago like an MoU with SuperMicro.

Highlights

• Continuous operation: Latest campaign conducted under Aduro’s current 24/4 operating model, meaning 24-hour operation across a planned four-day campaign window.
• Steady-state performance: Steady-state conditions were achieved under typical Hydrochemolytic™ conditions and sustained during the defined operational window, with samples collected at regular intervals.
• Process robustness: Steady-state conditions were re-established within approximately two hours after intentional operating changes, providing data on process-control response and operator procedures.
• Liquid hydrocarbon recovery: Results showed 86% liquid hydrocarbon recovery over the steady-state window, and 85% of the liquid product consisted of C20-and-below hydrocarbons, a carbon-number range typically associated with naphtha cracker feedstocks.
• Product quality analysis: Product quality indicators were as expected and comparable to products from batch and R2 experimental campaigns using the same polypropylene recovered from waste plastics.
• Feedstock selection: Polypropylene recovered from waste plastics was used as a controlled feedstock to establish a reliable operating baseline under defined Hydrochemolytic™ conditions.
• Next campaign progression: Results support planning for longer-duration campaigns using mixed polypropylene and polyethylene feedstocks, while also informing design inputs for Aduro’s planned first-of-a-kind (FOAK) Industrial Plant.

LONDON, Ontario, June 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aduro Clean Technologies Inc. (“Aduro” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ADUR) (TSX: 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 formally announced the appointment of Jan Lemmens as Project Director for the Company’s First-of-a-Kind (“FOAK”) industrial facility at the Chemelot Industrial Park in Sittard-Geleen, the Netherlands.

Mr. Lemmens will lead project development, engineering, and construction activities for the FOAK facility, bringing more than three decades of industrial leadership experience across European specialty materials, plastics, and chemical processing industries. The appointment adds dedicated, on-the-ground leadership as the FOAK program transitions into its engineering, permitting, and construction-preparation phase, reflecting the project’s progress.

In this role, Mr. Lemmens will oversee the planning and execution of site development activities for the FOAK facility, including civil works, permitting, contractor coordination, and preparation of the site for construction and operations. He will support coordination between project activities in the Netherlands and Aduro’s Canadian engineering, operations, and logistics teams to help align site execution with process requirements, material movement, and operational planning. Mr. Lemmens will also help lead the development of the local operating organization, including recruitment, safety, training, and commissioning-readiness programs required for the transition from project execution to industrial operations.

Mr. Lemmens has held senior operational and engineering leadership positions across the Netherlands and Europe, including Director of Operations and Plant Manager at Sekisui S-Lec BV; General Manager at RPC BEBO NL; Operations Director at Transilwrap Company, where he established the company’s first European manufacturing facility; and Group Engineering Manager at Rexam, where he led major industrial investment projects across the United Kingdom.

In recent years, Mr. Lemmens has supported multiple industrial companies through project leadership and operational advisory roles focused on manufacturing expansion, engineering execution, operational improvement, safety systems, and industrial site development. His experience includes working within the Chemelot industrial ecosystem and coordinating with contractors, infrastructure providers, and industrial stakeholders across complex operating environments.

“This project has reached a stage where local industrial execution experience becomes critically important,” said Ofer Vicus, Chief Executive Officer at Aduro. “Jan brings practical experience building and operating industrial facilities in this region, with a strong understanding of safety, project discipline, and how projects are executed within the Chemelot environment. His appointment strengthens Aduro’s ability to advance the FOAK facility through engineering, permitting, and construction preparation with the discipline and structure required for a first-of-a-kind project.”

“Aduro’s technology is entering an important stage of industrial advancement,” said Jan Lemmens, Project Director at Aduro. “The focus now is on establishing the project organization and execution framework required to advance engineering, equipment procurement, contractor and vendor engagement, permitting coordination, construction planning, and operational readiness as the FOAK facility progresses toward construction and future scale-up. I am pleased to be invited to lead this project at such an important stage of its development.”

The FOAK facility, announced in January 2026, is designed to deploy Hydrochemolytic™ Technology (“HCT”) for the chemical recycling of waste plastics at an initial capacity of approximately 10,000 tonnes per year. The site is configured to support phased expansion to larger-scale operations, providing a modular pathway intended to establish industrial-scale operating experience while preserving capacity for future growth.

The project has advanced through several milestones, including site selection within the Chemelot Industrial Park and the engagement of Ebert HERA B.V. to lead permitting activities. Aduro has also secured an offtake letter of intent covering an initial parcel of the facility’s production, an early commercial validation that links process development to a defined downstream market.

Located within one of Europe’s most integrated chemical industry clusters, the project is well positioned to benefit from existing infrastructure, feedstock access, and proximity to downstream users of circular hydrocarbons. Chemelot’s interconnected industrial ecosystem supports the development of circular value chains through shared utilities, logistics, and material flows, creating a practical pathway for scaling advanced recycling technologies.

The FOAK facility is intended to establish a scalable foundation for Hydrochemolytic™ Technology in Europe, contributing to the region’s efforts to expand chemical recycling capacity and integrate circular feedstocks into existing petrochemical systems.
