NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 16, 2026 / A profound shift is reshaping the global plastics industry. Around the world, governments are tightening recycled content regulations, manufacturers are demanding verified materials, brands are facing growing scrutiny over sustainability claims, and Digital Product Passports are moving from concept to reality. Together, those forces are creating a new global marketplace where proving what a material is may soon become as important as the material itself.
SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) has spent years building for precisely that moment.
Across the United States, the United Kingdom and Asia, the company is expanding technologies that give plastics secure, persistent digital identities, allowing recycled materials to be authenticated, certified and tracked throughout their lifecycle. Through its Digital Material Passport Platform, invisible molecular marking technology and growing ecosystem of verification solutions, SMX is helping build the digital infrastructure for a more transparent, compliant and commercially valuable circular economy. As Forbes recently observed, "SMX knows the future of sustainability will be measured not in pledges, but in data."
