 land of opportunity when it comes to independent thought. I'm gonna talk to you about a stock that you have no idea exists, and it is making waves in the face of what has been a tumultuous 2022 stock market. They have done some revolutionary things. The company has been around for 10 years. The company I'd like to introduce to you and kind of break this story over social media is Aduro Clean Technologies. It is a company that has been under the radar for good reason. It is half-owned by insiders. It has been in the making now for 10 years. Aduro Clean Technology sports a water-based technology that actually breaks down plastic that would have otherwise and has for the previous many, many decades ended up in our oceans and our landfills, okay? Now just for full disclosure, I've entered into a 12,500 share position in the company. This is by no means a call to follow all over yourself and go and buy the stock. We use social media as a conduit to provide awareness to those companies that you would not have been aware even existed out there on the marketplace, but I'm here to tell you that after 10 years of hard work and dedication, this management team led by the CEO and the co-founder is making revolutionary waves and you might think, okay, Ryan, you know, every company out there has a story to tell. They all have a story to sell. They all have the latest and greatest technology. What you need to be very, very aware of is the recent news that just broke with Aduro Clean technology being accepted by Shell Oil. Yes, indeed, I will say it again, Shell Oil. The major has selected Aduro Clean technologies and their water-based technology because it is absolutely a critical time right now to get this thing right. Every single company out there, I want you to take a moment and just imagine the major companies out there, all of the major plastic producers out there, which involves most of the major oil companies, as well as your product producers like Proctor and Gamble, Johnson & Johnson, Kimberly Clark, and many others. You'd be hard-pressed to find a company out there that offers a product and does so without the necessity to offer those products by using plastic. Now, if you were like me, when I first discovered this company, I thought we had already had this problem of recycling solved a long, long time ago. I was drawn a triangle, a cyclical triangle, I might add, to suggest that when we throw our plastic and we throw our recyclables into the recycle bin, that that goes to the garbage processing plant, wherever that might be, and those plastics get recycled to end up in the introduction of new products. Over 80% of the plastics that come in are difficult to break down in their molecular structure. And these plastics that I speak of are your polypropylene, your polyethylene, and your polystyrene chemicals. They are very complex and they are very, very difficult to break in. And to my disbelief, over 80% of those plastics just get discarded by the wayside and they end up taking space in our landfills. And in a lot of global perspective, end up getting dumped in the ocean where there's regulations that may not be as strict as ours here in the US or other of the developed nations out there and they end up getting dumped in our oceans. It's a very, very sad story. But up until now, the science has not been existent to actually assist in breaking down these tough to break down plastics. Furthermore, the issue of contamination has also been an issue. You imagine eating a Snickers bar and having that contaminant on the inside of the wrapper, i.e. the melted chocolate, or you use your tide bottle after you're done doing the laundry for its last load in the bottle. And you end up taking that, you don't rinse it out, which you've got the stickering on the outside and you've got the residue on the inside, which all too often subjects those items to disqualification for further disposition in the recycling chain. Therefore, those get discarded to the oceans and to the landfills. This actually constitutes the status quo right now with what is safe to be considered a one-time use for the plastics that we had, at least 80% of those plastics that I just spoke of that are difficult to recycle. Aduro Clean Technologies has brought a low heat, low impact, environmentally friendly solution to the forefront that has been validated by a third party to give the stamp of approval on this technology that it in fact works. They are just finalizing their Reactor 2 program here in that they are going to turn out their first iteration of taking feedstock, which is the hard to recycle plastics, contaminated and all, and in some cases mixing the two and can actually come out with a product on the back end that can actually be reused to make the same product and complete that cyclical economy we are after. Furthermore, and this is the more exciting part of the Aduro Clean Technologies solution that they've brought to bear is the idea of upcycling. Upcycling is the ability to take those hard to recycle plastics, put them into the reactor and actually upcycle that product or material on the back end to be actually put back into the surface line in a different form or a butter form or a more desired form of that plastic. The idea here that Aduro Clean Technologies has put this technology to the rigor by nature of the third party validation and just recently being accepted by Shell Oil. In their Game Changer program, Aduro is a $40 million market cap stock. It has flown under the radar this entire time and nobody, and I mean nobody is talking about it and I think management likes it that way until right now. We've just got the floodgates opened to spread the word. I started my due diligence on Aduro Clean Technology about seven days ago. This was before the Shell News broke with the Game Changer program. It wasn't until I discovered that the stock is actually fairly difficult to purchase here in the United States being void of even recognition through major brokers like Charles Schwab, all of the discount brokers, Robin Hood, Weeble, M1 Finance, NERIA have it on their brokers for selection. Merrell Edge also does not have it available. I had to call a trade specialist and actually discuss with them that they've applied terms that would disqualify Aduro from the equation. Now, they did say that once the stock gets above, let's say a $5 mark and it's got a market cap much higher than what it has now, that they will offer that stock for purchase. I just kind of laughed a little bit and said, well, I'd like to buy the stock before it goes up, perhaps. Thank you very much. But I was able to identify those three brokers out there that actually do offer the stock without any restriction. You can purchase the shares unabated based on their own particular terms of agreement. My terms of agreement through interactive brokers was such that I self designated myself through the trading permissions to enter into penny stock trading. The stock right now is trading at about 74 cents US. It is still considered a penny stock. It is unknown, but trading at about 74 cents right now with some fairly heavy volume. The stock has boasted over the last five days a 25% run up and it's done so silently on the line. 25% run up in the last five days only speaks to the validation of acceptance into the game changer program from Shell Oil. Now I just wanna speak a little bit about this game changer program and what it could mean for Aduro, what it will mean if you visit aduroclean.com you're gonna find the corporate presentation on there speaking about their plans before acceptance into the program of doing everything in-house. And I have no doubt in my mind that aduroclean technologies would have brought their subsequent reactors online in a smart and scaled manner with each of the learnings from each of the reactors that they brought in line to lend itself invaluable to the next iteration of the reactor and then finally getting to that commercial reactor that they were gonna actually take out there to what they boast to be a very, very interested pool of the who's who within the oil industry as well as the consumer products and plastic offers out there. You can just use your imagination but it's very difficult to imagine companies like Johnson and Johnson, Proctor and Gamble that are not gonna be interested in this product. Now you might say, Ryan, what gives? Why would they have to turn over and really start to look hard at these technologies here with the ability to step in the way of a secular economy? The 2025 global mandates are coming online here and this is the interesting part where it's not gonna become an option anymore, it's gonna become required. And aduroclean technology boasts right now the leading chemical process, hydro-based process for processing those hard to process plastics anywhere in the world right now. They own the IP, they own the patents outright, nobody can duplicate what it is that they bring to the table and Shell Oil has just validated that for the entire world to know if you're an investor, you need to take note. If you're a major oil company, you can rest assured be very, very understanding of this. They are also taking note of this because Shell cannot be provided a competitive advantage without the other majors trying to keep pace with what has been defined as kind of a game changer in and of itself as Shell selected aduro as their program partner. Now over the next 12 months, we are gonna closely observe this story. Shell is going to provide capital, non-dilutive capital to aduro to assist them in accelerating their path to commercialization. Why? Because this solution is needed now. And dare I might suggest that this solution was needed 10, 20 and 30 years ago. We are here right now at the precipice of a change in history where we can say with full confidence that the technology exists, we are in the final iteration of those stages of finalizing a mass scale opportunity for aduro-clin technology. This news just broke this week. This is days old. That's a reason why the stock has popped 25%. I think the stock should be up 500% right now. It is not because I think there is a couple of things going on. Headwind in the market, everybody thinks the stock market's going to hell in a hand basket. Therefore it makes it doubly difficult to identify situations where stocks like this are getting left in the dust. So you have to dig deeper. You have to dig and you have to look for those opportunities and aduro-clean technologies has just provided that opportunity with that validation from Shell. Now Shell is also going to provide their phased in approach. They are going to provide consulting and in-house resources. The whole idea here guys is that Shell uses their almost infinite budget and their almost infinite reach to in-house expertise to make sure that they can leverage and take this aduro-clean technology to the next level. And it is absolutely almost a foregone conclusion that at the end of 12 months, we are going to be looking at a radically different company in the process of being re-rated as we speak. Guys, I appreciate you tuning in to this quick shot aduro-clean technologies video. I will leave the ticker symbols in the description below for you guys that want to look it up right now. It is ACTHF. That is ACTHF here in the US traded in Canada on the ticker symbol ACT on the Canadian Stock Exchange. Guys, go check it out. Read the news releases. I will attach it to this video. I appreciate you tuning in. Leave your comments at the bottom and you're going to want to blast this out through your friends and families network out there that are also covering the microcap space. It is 10 years in the making guys. It is 10 years. And if you want to do this independently, you're going to be scouring over 10,000s of names. All right, the hard work has already been done for you. I've just provided your critical link to a company that is doing revolutionary things. And still at the time of this video is absolutely an unknown fly-under-the-radar company. But that is shortly going to change and it's going to be short-lived with this new announcement just this week of Shell Oil accepting aduro-clean technologies into their game changer program. It is in fact a game changer. Guys, thank you so much for tuning in to the message and good luck in your investment future.
