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 fo

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 That assumption is starting to look outdated.The reason is simple: most virgin plastic is still tied to oil and gas.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

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 31, 2026 / Plastic has always been treated as one of the world's most dependable materials: inexpensive, scalable, lightweight, and available in enormous volumes. It protects food, moves medicine, reduces shipping weight, supports health care, enables packaging, and keeps everyday products affordable.But the economics behind that system are changing.For decades, the plastic economy rested on a simple assumption: virgin plastic, made from oil and gas, would remain the cheaper and easier choice. Recycled plastic might be desirable. It might be responsible. But it was rarely treated as the default economic answer.That assumption is beginning to break.SM

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 30, 2026 / Recycled plastic is no longer just a sustainability gesture. For years, it was treated as a responsible choice, a brand signal, or a way for companies to show progress toward environmental goals.That era is changing.A new materials economy is emerging, shaped by energy volatility, rising transportation costs, tariffs, supply-chain disruption, higher manufacturing inputs, and the growing threat of plastic-related taxes. Together, those pressures are forcing manufacturers, retailers, brands, and consumers to confront a new reality: plastic is not only an environmental issue. It is now an affordability issue.Plastic is embedded in modern life

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 28, 2026 / Recycled plastic used to sit in the sustainability column.It was the responsible choice. The environmental choice. The corporate citizenship choice. A way for companies to show they were trying to reduce waste, satisfy customers, and participate in the circular economy.That framing is now too small.War, oil volatility, diesel inflation, transportation costs, tariffs, supply disruption, rising input prices, and the threat of plastic taxes are pushing plastic into a new economic category. It is no longer simply a packaging material or an environmental challenge. It is becoming part of the affordability crisis.Plastic protects food. It preser

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 28, 2026 / American manufacturing is no longer just a question of where something is assembled.It is a question of what it is made from, where those materials came from, how they moved, whether they can be verified, and whether they can be used more efficiently.That is the new industrial reality. In a world shaped by war, tariffs, oil volatility, supply-chain disruption, rising compliance demands, and pressure on raw materials, the ability to prove material origin and extract more value from every input is becoming a measure of national strength.That is where SMX (Security Matters) PLC (NASDAQ:SMX)(NASDAQ:SMXWW) is positioning its technology.SMX's wo

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 28, 2026 / The future of American manufacturing will not be decided only by what gets built here.It will be decided by whether America can prove what those products are made from, where their materials came from, how they moved, how efficiently they were used, and whether they can be recovered, reused, and put back into the economy.That is the new meaning of industrial strength.In a world shaped by geopolitical conflict, tariff pressure, supply-chain disruption, resource volatility, and rising compliance demands, material efficiency is no longer a side issue. It is becoming a national competitiveness issue. The companies and countries that can extrac

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 28, 2026 / The future of American manufacturing will not be measured only by how much the country can produce.It will be measured by how much it can prove.Where did the materials come from? What are they made of? How did they move? Can they be reused? Can they be recycled? Can they be verified? Can they be trusted?Those questions are quickly becoming central to the next phase of industrial strength. In a world defined by tariff pressure, geopolitical instability, raw-material volatility, supply-chain disruption, and rising compliance demands, material efficiency is no longer a sustainability talking point. It is becoming an economic and national comp

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 28, 2026 / American manufacturing is entering a new era where the label is no longer enough."Made in America" still matters. But in a global economy shaped by tariff pressure, geopolitical risk, supply-chain disruption, raw-material volatility, recycling mandates, and rising compliance demands, the more important question is becoming: Can it be proven?Can a manufacturer prove where its materials came from? Can it verify what those materials contain? Can it document chain of custody? Can it authenticate recycled content? Can it show that materials can be recovered, reused, recycled, or returned to commerce instead of wasted?Those questions are no long

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 27, 2026 / Luxury has always sold more than product.It has sold origin. Craftsmanship. rarity. Heritage. The atelier. The maker. The mine. The leather. The watch movement. The diamond. The story behind the object.But in today's market, story is no longer enough.Counterfeiting is more sophisticated. Resale is global. Supply chains are fragmented. Consumers are more skeptical. Regulators are asking harder questions. And luxury goods now move through multiple owners, platforms, countries, and authentication systems long after the original sale.That is why provenance is becoming one of the most valuable assets in luxury.SMX (Security Matters) PLC (NASDAQ

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 27, 2026 / Plastic was once treated as the cheapest material in the world. That assumption is breaking.War, oil volatility, supply chain disruption, tariffs, petrochemical pressure, transportation costs, and rising global waste are exposing a new reality: plastic is no longer just a packaging issue or a pollution issue. It is becoming an affordability issue.That is the core of what SMX (Security Matters) PLC (NASDAQ:SMX, SMXWW)) calls the Age of Parity - the moment when recycled plastic and virgin plastic begin moving closer in cost, not because recycling suddenly became fashionable, but because virgin plastic is becoming more exposed to the same for

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 27, 2026 / For years, recycled plastic was treated as a corporate virtue signal. A sustainability pledge. A packaging footnote.

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 27, 2026 / The world has spent decades treating plastic as cheap, endless, and disposable.That assumption is starting to collapse.War, oil volatility, tariffs, petrochemical disruption, transportation costs, supply-chain strain, and resource pressure are pushing plastic into a new economic category. It is no longer just a packaging material. It is no longer just a sustainability problem.

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 27, 2026 / The old plastics economy was built on one assumption: virgin plastic would always be cheap.That assumption is breaking.War, oil volatility, tariffs, supply chain disruption, transportation costs, petrochemical pressure, and rising resource constraints are forcing a new reality on manufacturers, brands, retailers, and consumers.

It is becoming the answer. In what SMX calls the Age of Parity, recycled plastic moves from environmental gesture to economic infrastructure - a way to sustain modern life as oil volatility, tariffs, plastic taxes, supply-chain shocks, inflation, and rising input costs pressure everything from packaging and food protection to medicine, electronics, textiles, transportation, and consumer goods.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 26, 2026 / The old recycling story was built on good intentions.That story is over.Recycled plastic is no longer just a gesture to the planet, a corporate sustainability talking point, or a way for brands to show they are trying.

New York Times analysis shows war-driven gasoline and diesel costs are raising the price of everyday life - strengthening the case for certified recycled plastic as an economic solution NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 22, 2026 / The war is no longer just raising the price of gas. It is raising the price of modern life. And that is why recycled plastic is moving from an environmental option to an economic necessity.According to The New York Times' May 21, 2026 article, "What the War Is Costing You," by Emmett Lindner and Rebecca Lieberman, the average American household has spent an extra $187.41 on gasoline since the war with Iran began - "the equivalent of a month's electricity bill" f

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 22, 2026 / The material once dismissed as too expensive, too messy, and too difficult to scale has become one of the most practical tools for keeping modern life affordable.Recycled plastic, long treated as the greener but costlier alternative to virgin plastic, is being redefined by war, oil volatility, supply-chain pressure, tariffs, regulation, and new verification technology.

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 17, 2026 / Modern life runs on plastic. It protects food, moves medicine, supports health care, lowers shipping weight, powers packaging, and helps keep everyday goods affordable at scale. For decades, that system depended on a simple economic assumption: virgin plastic, made from oil and gas, would remain cheaper, cleaner, and easier to scale than recycled alternatives.That assumption is starting to fail.SMX describes the shift as The New Age of Parity - the moment when recycled plastics and virgin plastics move closer in cost as war, oil volatility, supply-chain disruption, tariffs, regulation, and resource pressure reshape global materials markets
