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

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
