Mistubishi Chemical Group and ENEOS Launch Advanced Recycling Facility Using Mura’s Hydro-PRT® Technology
4 July 2025
On 2nd July 2025, Mura Technology’s CEO Dr Steve Mahon was delighted to attend the launch ceremony of Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation’s advanced recycling facility with ENEOS in Ibaraki, Japan – using Mura’s Hydro-PRT® technology. The partnership was first announced in June 2021 following a licence sale through KBR, Mura’s exclusive Global Licensing Partner, preferred engineering partner and investor. MCC’s 20kta capacity site will now look to achieve ISCC PLUS certification and commence to full-scale production and customer shipments.
Steve said:
I was very pleased to join Mitsubishi and ENEOS on the 2nd of July at the opening ceremony of their advanced recycling site, using Mura’s Hydro-PRT process. This launch marks a major milestone for the global push toward a circular economy. I’m proud to see our solution enabling the recycling of plastic waste at scale. By the end of this year, 60,000 tonnes of Hydro-PRT liquid circular hydrocarbon output will be in operation worldwide, and that’s incredibly exciting.
Congratulations to Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation on reaching this stage – and thank you for your continued partnership with Mura Technology in driving sustainable innovation.
