About Mura

Mura Technology intends to become the world’s leading producer of recycled hydrocarbons, creating a circular economy for plastic, whilst helping to decarbonize the petrochemical industry and eliminate global plastic pollution. We are pioneering a scalable process to divert waste plastic away from incineration, reduce carbon emissions and prevent millions of tons of plastic from entering the natural environment every year, turning the $120 billion lost resource of plastic waste into a valuable global commodity.

Our process, HydroPRS™ (Hydrothermal Plastic Recycling System), creates a much wider scope for recycling all types of plastic, including flexible, multi-layered film and post-consumer, contaminated materials. By diverting these materials away from incineration and landfill and into recycling, we decouple the manufacture of new plastics from fossil-sourced feedstock – helping to decarbonize the petrochemical industry. We are partnering with the entire plastic recycling value chain, including international consumer brands, resin producers and waste management companies to scale our process worldwide. This feeds a sustainable circular economy and strives towards Net Zero. Our ambition is to have 1,000,000 tons of plastic recycling capacity in operation or development by 2025. The company is based in London, U.K.
