Press release) announced, a joint initiative from plastics for

Promotion of solutions for the recycling of polystyrene.

The PSRA brings actors from the entire polystyrene value chain

Together, including plastic manufacturers, processors, recyclers and

Technology developers, the technical cooperation, data exchange and

to promote the development of the infrastructure. Allianz promotes both

Mechanical as well as advanced recycling processes that aim at

to improve the recovery rates and sustainable final markets for

To create polystyrene materials.

Through membership at Plastics, Aduro with a wide network of

Plastic manufacturers, recycling companies, processing and brand owners

connected that are for sustainability and circular economy in the

Insert plastic industry. Via plastics, aduro is on working groups and

take part in political discussions that the regulatory framework,

Design standards and infrastructures to expand the role of

Chemical recycling and advanced conversion technologies required

are.

The Hydrochemolytic (TM) technology (HCT) developed by Aduro uses water in

Connection with a catalyst at moderate temperatures to carbon

To break open carbon and carbon heteroatoma bonds in polymers,

which creates connections with a lower molecular weight. As opposed to

other technologies based on a high heat supply to a

HCT works to cause uncontrolled splitting up the polymer molecules

gentler conditions that enable controlled reaction routes. The

Catalyzed, selective chemistry from HCT leads to higher yields

Hydrocarbon products with high purity of the functional groups

minimal loss of polymer output material due to undesirable by-products

Like carbon residues or heavy tars and gases. Experiments to laboratory and

Large technology flow systems have the suitability of HCT to convert

Post-Consumer polystyrene in defined hydrocarbon intermediate products such as

Toluol, ethylbenzene and cumol. These outputs are with downstream

Chemical infrastructures compatible and do not require any further upgrade.

While the further development and validation are still underlining, underline

These results the potential of HCT for the production of valuable chemical

Products and intermediate products from difficult to recyclable raw materials and mirrors

Aduro’s technical strength in the use of waste flows.

Aduro makes a contribution with the accession to the Polystyrene Recycling Alliance

to an industry -wide cooperation that is based on the systemic and

Material -specific challenges of polystyrene utilization concentrated,

such as the limited collective infrastructure, low recycling rates

And false ideas in public. These challenges stand

At the center of the PSRA mission, access and the introduction of

to expand mechanical and advanced recycling solutions. The early

Work from Aduro to convert polystyrene into targeted hydrocarbon

Intermediate products using its hydrochemolytic (TM) technology are in

Sound with the goals of alliance, innovation, data exchange and the

To promote the development of sustainable final markets. Participation in the PSRA complements

The comprehensive research and development of aduro in the area of various

Plastics and renewable raw materials and reflects the commitment of the

Company, scientifically sound approaches for the

To promote circular economy.

? The recovery rates for polystyrene are still low, and we are

Join the polystyrene recycling Alliance to examine how the

Chemical approach from Aduro contribute to coping with this challenge

can, “said Ofer Vicus, Chief Executive Officer from Aduro Clean Technologies.

? Through our membership of plastics, this commitment becomes the entire

Value chain of the plastic industry expanded so that we are one

Can make a contribution to guidelines, standards and technical cooperation,

While the industry is towards circulatory economy solutions

moved. “

? We look forward to aduro as a new member of both the plastics industry

To welcome the association as well as the polystyrene recycling Alliance, “says

Patrick Krieger, Vice President of Sustainability at Plastics .? The participation

The company reflects the joint commitment to promoting

Recycling solutions and the establishment of a more cooperative, innovative and

more sustainable plastic industry. “

Aduro is currently building its pilot facility for the Next Generation Process (NGP)

in London, Ontario. The NGP pilot plant was available for operation under

continuous flow conditions designed and the evaluation of the

Hydrochemolytic (TM) technology (HCT) using real raw materials

support. The modular and scalable design enables flexibility for

Project -specific applications for a variety of customer requirements. The

Participation of Aduro in the PSRA complements this development by the

Technical exchange, the coordination of samples and a closer coordination

easier to the changing requirements of the industry.

Polystyren is a widespread plastic that in the areas

Packaging, gastronomy, construction and electronics are used. The

worldwide production

(https://www.towardsmenmasmasmaschen.com/insights/polystyrene-market) exceeds

40 million tons a year, with North America about 3.4 million tons of it

matters. Despite this amount, the majority of the post-consumer polystyrene land

on landfills. According to the United States environmental protection authority

Recycled less than 6 % of polystyrene packaging. Foam formats such as

expanded polystyrene (EPS) represent a special challenge because

Eps waste is incurred annually and the municipal

Collection is limited.

In Canada, plastic waste in 2018

4.4 million tons, of which only 8 % were recycled. The recovery rates

For polystyrene, they are particularly low – they are estimated at around 10 % – and

Only 35 % of the municipalities accept EPS in their recycling programs for households,

whereby access to recycling services for this material

is restricted.

Via the polystyrene recycling alliance (PSRA)

The Polystyrene Recycling Alliance is a joint initiative of the plastics

Industry Association (plastics), which is for improving access to

Polystyrenol recycling and its spread across North America. The

Allianz combines plastic manufacturers, processors, recyclers and

Technology developer to invest in the infrastructure, the clarification of the

Interest groups and the further development of mechanical and chemical

To promote recycling solutions.

Via the Plastics Industry Association (Plastics)

The Plastics Industry Association is the leading organization that the entire

Represent a plastic supply chain, including processors, plant manufacturers,

Form builder, material supplier, recycler and brand owner. Plastics was

Founded in 1937 and has set itself the goal of networking interest groups,

to promote sustainable practices, for a responsible policy

to use and promote innovations throughout the industry. The association

Manages several important programs, including NPE: The Plastics Show,

Operation Clean Sweep and the Future Leaders initiative in plastics (flip).

About Aduro Clean Technologies

Aduro Clean Technologies develops patented water -based technologies to

Chemically to recycle plastic waste, heavy crude oil and bitumen in

Lighter, more valuable oil and renewable oils in higher quality fuels

or convert renewable chemicals. The Hydrochemolytic (TM) technology of the

Company uses water as the most important active ingredient in a chemical

Platform that at relatively low temperatures and too low

Cost works. This is a groundbreaking approach that

Converted inferior raw materials in resources for the 21st century.
