Episode 67: From Waste Plastic to Valuable Feedstock - The Role of Data and Digitalization

In this episode we explore how chemical recycling is moving from promising research to real-world industrial deployment. Abe Dyck, Head of Corporate Development and Investor Relations at Aduro Clean Technologies joins us to discuss Hydrochemolytic™ Technology (HCT), an innovative approach designed to convert difficult-to-recycle plastics into valuable hydrocarbon feedstocks.

The conversation goes beyond chemistry to examine what it actually takes to scale a new process technology. Abe shares insights on pilot plant operations, continuous processing, feedstock challenges, data collection, process automation, simulation, and AI. Together, we explore how digitalization is helping reduce risk, improve decision-making, and accelerate the path from laboratory innovation to commercial reality.
