KBR delivers science, technology and engineering solutions to governments and companies around the world. Their position at the forefront in the provision of innovative technologies like Hydro-PRT® offers Mura world-class global development opportunities.
As the exclusive Global Licensing and Preferred Engineering Partner of Mura, KBR enables the identification of new markets for our process, providing engineering and technical services and equipment to develop sites for international clients.
The partnership provides an opportunity to global clients looking to establish scalable, next generation advanced plastic recycling capacity in both new and existing infrastructure.
Beginning in 2021, the Mura and KBR partnership has already resulted in the licensing of the Hydro-PRT® technology by international petrochemical firms.
In June 2021, Mura and KBR were delighted to announce the first agreement for licensing and engineering with Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation (MCC), which plans to deploy Hydro-PRT® in Japan to reduce plastic waste and create a circular plastics economy.
This first project, based at MCC’s Ibaraki plant, was inaugurated in June 2025 and is now in the commissioning phase, expected to commence commercial operations in 2025. It has the capacity to process 20kta of plastic waste with MCC studying the possibility of increasing capacity in the future. The facility has started operations processing post-industrial plastic waste and will transition to Recovered Plastic Feedstock (RPF) from post-commercial and post-consumer sources. With 8 million tonnes of RPF arising annually in Japan, MCC will seek to extend the scope of the project and target these plastics as raw materials.
The partnership and license sale between Mura, KBR and leading global chemical producer LG Chem was announced in January 2022. This partnership supports the continued roll-out of Hydro-PRT®, with this first project in South Korea to initially recycle up to 25kta of RPF and due to begin commercial operations in 2025.
South Korea is a crucial market for deploying Hydro-PRT®, being one of the world’s leaders in plastic consumption per capita. The country aims to reduce its plastic waste by 20% by 2025.
