Plastic is a useful, reliable material that has enabled huge advances in modern life, health and transport, but poor management, low perceived value and a lack of global infrastructure to support its recycling has led to environmental pollution through plastic leakage, landfill and incineration. With approximately just 9% of plastic produced to date having been recycled, this valuable resource is being lost. Mura Technology hold the key to turning the tide on waste plastic.

Cat-HTR™ uses supercritical water, heat and pressure to convert waste plastics into valuable chemicals and oils by breaking down the long-chain hydrocarbons and donating hydrogen to produce shorter-chain, stable hydrocarbon products for sale into the petrochemical industry, for use in the production of new plastic and other materials, offering a recycling solution for all plastic types and in turn helping to create a circular economy.

Not only does Cat-HTR™ provide an answer to the world’s plastic disposal problem with a chemical recycling solution, the output products will be REACH¹ registered, while the process represents a significant CO₂ reduction when compared to fossil resource.
