Aduro Clean Technologies and AstroTurf Sign MOU for Synthetic Turf RecyclingCollaboration 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 21st 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 a...
