LONDON, Ontario, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aduro Clean Technologies Inc. (“Aduro” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ADUR) (CSE: 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, today announced that it has entered into an agreement effective May 12^th, 2025 (the “Agreement”) with Generation IACP Inc. (“Generation”) to provide market making services in accordance with Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) policies.
