Empowering Collectors, Sorters, Recyclers, Converters, Brand Owners and Traders in the Age of Parity
NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / June 10, 2026 / SMX (Security Matters) PLC (NASDAQ:SMX)(NASDAQ:SMXWW), a pioneer in digitizing physical materials for a circular economy, today announced the launch of its new Circularity-as-a-Service platform for the plastics industry.
The Circularity-as-a-Service platform combines multiple SMX technologies and service offerings to unlock the economic value of recycled plastics by enabling recyclers, sorters and manufacturers to accurately identify, grade, certify and verify recycled materials, with the goal of creating trusted recycled plastic streams for higher-value applications. By offering trusted and standardized recycled plastic streams, SMX anticipates that recycled materials can qualify for higher-value applications that have traditionally relied on virgin plastics.
The platform supports participants across the plastics value chain, including waste collectors, aggregators, sorters, material recovery facilities (MRFs), mechanical recyclers, chemical recyclers, compounders, pellet producers, resin producers, converters, packaging manufacturers, brand owners, retailers and commodity traders. By combining the Company's molecular marking technology, reader infrastructure, Digital Material Passports, a Recycled Plastic Registry, Marketplace functionality and Plastic Cycle Tokens, SMX is seeking to provide the infrastructure required to create a new generation of verified and certified recycled plastic products.
As global demand for plastics continues to grow, SMX believes that the industry faces a critical challenge: increasing the supply of high-quality recycled materials capable of replacing virgin plastic in more demanding applications. While significant volumes of plastic are collected and recycled each year, limitations in sorting, verification and material grading often prevent recycled plastics from achieving their highest potential value.
SMX is addressing this challenge through its advanced material identification, smart sorting and certification capabilities that would enable used and recycled plastics to be accurately graded according to their composition, recycled content, quality and recycling history. This is expected to allow recyclers and manufacturers to unlock new end markets, improve material performance, increase recyclate value and expand the range of applications where recycled plastics can successfully compete with virgin materials.
