Aduro and ECOCE have completed the first phase of mapping plastic-waste raw materials in Mexico, marking a step forward in their collaboration. Selected material streams are now moving into HCT testing to assess whether they could serve as circular feedstocks.
The work focuses on flexible and multilayer plastic waste, a category estimated at about 1.5 million tonnes annually in Mexico. These materials can represent a difficult resource stream for businesses because their composition and handling requirements may vary, making early mapping and testing important before broader commercial decisions are considered.
For small and mid-sized businesses, the development is relevant mainly as a signal of potential change in the plastics supply chain. Companies involved in packaging, waste collection, materials processing or manufacturing may wish to monitor the testing results and any future announcements about which waste streams show practical potential.
The move to HCT testing does not, on the information available, establish a commercial process, a launch timetable or a confirmed supply arrangement. It does indicate that the parties have narrowed their focus from a broad materials-mapping exercise to selected Mexican waste streams for further evaluation. The results could help clarify whether these materials are suitable for use as circular raw materials, but that assessment remains underway.
