Introduction to Mura Technology Limited
Founded in 2016, Mura intends to become the world’s leading producer of recycled hydrocarbons, creating a circular economy for plastic, whilst helping to decarbonise the petrochemical industry and eliminate global plastic pollution.
Our technology, Hydro-PRT, can recycle all types of plastic, including multi-layered, post-use flexible and rigid packaging, back into the chemicals and oils from which they were made, producing recycled feedstock for the manufacture of new plastic and reducing the need for new and fossil-resource derived plastics.
The current fate for much of the world’s plastic waste is incineration, landfill, or leakage into the environment. Mura’s first Hydro-PRT site in Wilton, Teesside, Northeast England will save c40,000 tonnes of CO2 annually, when compared to the incineration of plastic waste, a current form of waste management in the EU. In addition, for every tonne of plastic processed via Hydro-PRT, 5 barrels of oil are replaced in the manufacture of new plastic.
We are partnering with the biggest global brands to scale worldwide and feed a sustainable plastics economy in the next decade. Our ambition is to have capacity for 1,500,000 tonnes of plastic recycling in operation or development by 2032.

Why we are here
We strive for a #plasticneutral approach, which comes from developing a circular plastics economy. By moving away from the traditional linear model of create-consume-dispose to one of create-consume-recycle, we:
- Convert plastics destined for incineration, landfill or the environment into valuable products
- Extract value from waste plastic, that would have otherwise been lost
- Reduce the requirement for fossil resource in the production of plastic, as part of the decarbonisation agenda
- Allow plastic to remain a part of our everyday lives, with a strong recycling model to ensure its after-use
By achieving the above, we become #plasticneutral – continuing to use a product that has so many benefits, whilst ensuring it is responsibly managed.
