Mura Technology

Dr Geoff Brighty discussing Hydro-PRT at the London #RecyclingExpo Mura’s hydrothermal advanced plastic recycling solution completes the circular economy, processing those plastics which otherwise could not be recycled, and would be sent to #EfW (incineration) or landfill, including flexible, contaminated and multi-layered films. Mura’s first site is under commissioning in Wilton, Teesside, North East England and will put 20ktpa of circular hydrocarbons back into circulation the #circulareconomy annually.

Mura Technology were delighted to welcome Professor Kevin Van Geem, Head of the Laboratory for Chemical Technology (LCT) at Ghent University, the world-leading academic institution dedicated to minimising the environmental impact of chemical processes, with which Mura recently signed a 5 year research partnership.   Mura’s Chief Technology Officer Richard Daley and Head of Sustainability and R&D Dr Geoff Brighty gave Prof. Van Geem a tour of our Wilton facility, Mura’s first Hydro-PRT® advanced plastic recycling site, which is in commissioning now and set to enter commercial operations soon.   The research partnership between Mura and LCT will involve the construction of a continuous flow, pilot scale testing facility, which will be used for a range of research programmes to evaluate hard to recycle polymers, including complex composite materials. The results will drive future technology expansions and help both Mura’s waste and chemical industry partners build the circular economy, taking waste polymers into circular, low carbon, chemical feedstocks. 

The Mura Team are very much looking forward to the #RecyclingExpo2024 at Excel London this month. Mura's Dr Geoff Brighty, Head of Sustainability and R&D will speak on both days: DAY 1 PANEL / Tuesday 15th October 2pm / Recycling & Waste Management Stage: Highlighting the role of advanced recycling for plastics. DAY 2 PRESENTATION / Wednesday 16th October 12pm / Recycling & Waste Management Stage: Hydro-PRT® – The Next Generation of Advanced Plastic Recycling Come and meet us on stand BB44, right next to the Circular Economy Theatre!

Following on from yesterday's announcement about the continuation of our collaboration with WMG, University of Warwick and Innovate UK, there is now a exciting opportunity to start your career in sustainability and the circular, low carbon economy through a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) Associate position. Working with advanced recycler Mura Technology and WMG, University of Warwick, you'll develop a ground-breaking environmental impact modelling platform underpinning the global roll-out of Mura's Hydro-PRT advanced recycling technology. This is an ideal role for an early career professional, with chemistry and/or programming backgrounds, seeking a role with purpose, and delivering global impact. Applications should go directly via the WMG portal - this role is not listed on Mura's Careers page. https://lnkd.in/efruPnqV

We are very pleased to announce today that Mura Technology will continue the collaboration with WMG, University of Warwick at the University of Warwick and Innovate UK (IUK) to continue working on sustainability with a new IUK funded, two-year Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP). WMG will develop operational sustainability models for Mura’s Hydro-PRT advanced plastic recycling technology to identify opportunities for further improvements to the already sector-leading environmental performance of the process. Mura has already identified an annual carbon emissions saving of 40,000 tonnes at the first Hydro-PRT site in Wilton, Teesside, due to commence operations later this year.

We're very pleased to have Elite Recycling Solutions Ltd as a feedstock supplier to Mura's first site in Wilton, Teesside, Northeast England - invaluable support from the waste industry and an opportunity for Elite to provide a sustainable advanced recycling solution to their customers.

The team are ready to start two days of networking and discussions at Plastics Recycling Show Europe today - come and find us in Hall 9, stand 260. https://lnkd.in/ebjM6Px7

At the end of May, Mura announced Elite Recycling Solutions Ltd as supplier of post-use plastic packaging feedstock to Mura's world-first hydrothermal advanced recycling facility in Wilton, Teesside, UK, which is currently in its final commissioning phase and expected to commence operations later this year. This latest blog from Elite highlights the need for an alternative to incinerating or landfilling plastic waste that cannot be recycled via traditional mechanical process - particularly from a cost point of view, as the landfill tax is set to increase from April next year and incineration plants will be including in the UK Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) from 2028. https://lnkd.in/dDhGqWCX
