Graduate Mechanical Engineer

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, HydroPRS, can recycle all types of plastic back into the chemicals and oils from which they were made, producing recycled feedstock for the manufacture of new plastic, reducing the need for new and fossil-fuel derived plastics.

By recycling waste plastics instead of being processed by Energy from Waste generates a large saving in carbon emissions, aiding petrochemical companies to reach their net-zero targets. We are partnering with the biggest global brands to scale worldwide and feed a sustainable plastics economy in the next decade. Our plan is to have capacity for 1,000,000 tonnes of plastic recycling in operation or development by 2025.
