Aduro Clean Technologies is a Canadian company that is developing technology to recycle plastics and upgrade heavy oils into more useful, cleaner products. Its core process, called Hydrochemolytic Technology (HCT), uses water and heat to break down waste plastics or bitumen into lighter, more valuable materials. The company is focused on the industrial and energy sectors, targeting refiners, petrochemical producers, and waste management companies as potential customers.

Aduro does not yet generate meaningful revenue and is still in the research and development stage, which explains its deeply negative margins. It operates primarily in Canada and is a small-cap company with a market capitalization of roughly $600 million. The main risk is that the company must successfully scale its technology from the lab to commercial production — a step that many clean-tech startups fail to complete — and it will likely need to raise additional capital before it can generate consistent revenue.
