NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / August 25, 2026 / As the economics of virgin, oil-derived plastic and recycled materials move toward parity, the SMX Plastic Cycle Token (PCT) has become the most powerful tool for manufacturers navigating a fundamental reset in the economics of plastic-a convergence accelerated by the war in the Gulf, pressure on global supply lines, the lingering aftereffects of COVID-19 and continued volatility in energy and commodity markets. Recycled material is no longer competing with virgin plastic solely on sustainability credentials; it is increasingly competing on price, forcing manufacturers to confront a new reality: what was once an environmental objective

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / August 19, 2026 / Across industries, a once in a generation disruption has reshaped the competitive landscape. Now, as the dust begins to clear, rising new forces are coming into sight. With markets increasingly vulnerable to global events, shifting economies and supply chain pressures, manufacturers are placing greater value on efficiency, agility, innovation and authenticity, and on the companies that can deliver them. For SMX (Security Matters) PLC (NASDAQ:SMX), that changing landscape is bringing growing interest and international attention to technologies it has designed to identify, trace, authenticate and certify materials across plastics, preciou

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 21, 2026 / There are new rules for how fashion can clean out its closet. Beginning this week, the European Union's prohibition on destroying unsold clothing, footwear and accessories requires major brands to prove what happens to excess inventory. SMX has already built that solution. Its patented molecular marking technology gives nearly any fiber-including cotton, polyester, wool, nylon, nonwoven materials and other textiles-a permanent physical identity that survives manufacturing, resale and recycling. Combined with the company's Digital Material Passport platform, every product carries an authenticated record from raw fiber through manufacturing

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 20, 2026 / Recycled plastic used to be treated like a gesture. A favor to the planet. A sustainability talking point. A way for companies to say they were trying.That era is over.War, oil volatility, diesel inflation, transportation, tariffs, supply disruption, rising input costs, and the growing threat of plastic taxes are forcing a new reality on manufacturers, brands, retailers, and consumers: the materials economy is now part of the affordability crisis.Plastic is not just a bottle, a bag, or packaging. It is what protects food, medicine, household goods, electronics, logistics, transportation, textiles, consumer products - what we use and need

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 20, 2026 / A seismic disruption in the cost of manufacturing has permanently altered industry across the globe. Tariffs, geopolitical conflict, inflation, global supply chain disruption and shifting trade relationships have forced businesses to rethink long-held assumptions about sourcing, production and growth. The old rules no longer apply, the new math does not equate, and growth is harder to achieve when the future keeps changing. The new value is finding more value in old value, and building that to grow. SMX is disrupting markets and industry with new tools, innovation and strategies that help companies adapt.

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,

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 1, 2026 / SMX continues to create a national footprint for its plastic recycling technologies at the exact moment the U.S. market is shifting from recycling promises to recycling proof. At the center of that footprint is SMX's Digital Material Passport Platform, or DMPP, which connects physical materials to secure digital records. By giving plastic a persistent identity at the material level, SMX enables recycled content, origin, composition, chain of custody, lifecycle status, and compliance data to move from the physical world into a verifiable digital system.Recent media coverage has already identified SMX as one of the companies defining that sh

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / June 24, 2026 / As states impose stricter recycling, recycled-content and producer-responsibility laws, SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) is entering a policy environment increasingly built around the one issue its technology was designed to address: proof. The next phase of recycling compliance will not be defined only by who collects more material. It will be defined by who can verify what that material is, where it came from, how it moved, and whether it was actually recovered and reused.The announcement follows growing media attention around SMX's proof-driven materials platform and its role in moving sustainability from claims to evidence.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / June 23, 2026 / The Age of Parity is permanent. As war, oil volatility, tariffs, trade fragmentation and supply-chain disruption reshape the global economy, certified recycled plastic has emerged as one of its most important economic outcomes. Manufacturing with certified recycled plastic is no longer simply an environmental preference; it is becoming a cost-efficient industrial strategy, an affordability tool and a response to a world where virgin oil-derived materials are increasingly exposed to price shocks, scarcity and geopolitical risk.A recent New York Times analysis captured the first layer of this new reality.

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / June 22, 2026 / The Age of Parity is permanent, and certified recycled plastic has emerged as one of its most important economic solutions. As war, oil volatility, tariffs, trade fragmentation and supply-chain nationalism permanently alter the global economy, the ability to manufacture with certified recycled plastic is no longer an environmental preference. It is a cost-efficient industrial strategy, an affordability tool, a national-security issue and a direct answer to a world where virgin oil-derived materials are increasingly exposed to price shocks, scarcity and geopolitical risk.A recent New York Times analysis captured the first layer of this new

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / June 8, 2026 / Plastic has always been treated as cheap, plentiful, and easy to replace. That assumption is starting to look outdated.The reason is simple: most virgin plastic is still tied to oil and gas. When energy markets spike, when war disrupts supply, when shipping costs rise, or when tariffs and regulation add pressure, the cost does not stay trapped inside the petrochemical industry. It moves into packaging, consumer goods, food, medicine, retail, logistics, and household budgets.With oil again testing the $100-a-barrel threshold, that pressure becomes impossible to ignore. Virgin plastic can reprice quickly because its economics are still tied to fo

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / June 8, 2026 / A new economic reality is reshaping global manufacturing, and it is challenging one of the oldest assumptions in the plastics market: that virgin plastic made from oil and gas will always be the cheapest option.For decades, that was true. Virgin plastic was abundant, inexpensive, and easy to scale. Recycled plastic, by contrast, was often treated as a sustainability gesture - useful for ESG reports, but rarely central to pricing, sourcing, or supply-chain strategy.That equation is changing.Oil volatility, war, tariffs, regulation, and supply-chain pressure are rewriting the economics of materials. When energy prices spike, virgin plastic can re
