NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / June 10, 2026 / SMX (Security Matters) PLC (NASDAQ:SMX)(NASDAQ:SMXWW), today announced the launch of its Circularity-as-a-Service platform for the global plastics industry.
The integrated platform is designed to turn recycled plastic from a fragmented waste stream into a verified, certified, traceable and tradeable industrial asset.
The launch comes as the plastics economy enters what SMX calls the Age of Parity: the point at which recycled plastic is no longer a secondary sustainability choice, but an economic, regulatory and supply-chain necessity. War, oil volatility, petrochemical disruption, tariffs, plastic taxes and rising input costs are changing the economics of virgin plastic. At the same time, manufacturers, regulators, investors and consumers are demanding proof of recycled content, origin, quality and chain of custody.
SMX's platform is built for that new reality.
The Circularity-as-a-Service platform combines:
-
Molecular marking technology
-
Reader infrastructure
-
Digital Material Passports
-
SMX Recycled Plastic Registry
-
Marketplace functionality
-
Plastic Cycle Tokens
Together, these components allow recycled plastic to carry verified proof of origin, content, grade, chain of custody, recycling history, loop count and circularity performance.
In the Age of Parity, proof becomes the difference between recycled plastic as a claim and recycled plastic as an industrial product.
The platform supports participants across the plastics value chain, from collectors, sorters and material recovery facilities to recyclers, compounders, pellet producers, resin producers, converters, packaging manufacturers, brand owners, retailers and commodity traders.
Recent global reporting has highlighted the vulnerability of the virgin plastics economy. Reuters analysis distributed through U.S. News & World Report reported that war-related disruption to petrochemical supply had sent plastic prices soaring. UNCTAD has warned that oil shocks ripple directly through plastics. ICIS has reported feedstock shortages and petrochemical pressure in Asia, while Packaging Gateway, Plastics Today, Plastics Engineering and Plastics News have pointed to the growing impact of geopolitical instability, packaging-cost pressure and polymer-feedstock risk.
