SMX (Security Matters) Public Ltd Co Launches Circularity-As-A-Service Platform for the Global Plastics Value Chain
SMX (Security Matters) Public Ltd. Co 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. 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. 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. SMX's platform has been designed to provide the physical and digital infrastructure needed to transform used and recycled plastic from a commodity into a verified, graded and certified material, with the potential to enable higher-value applications, greater market confidence and measurable circularity performance. Additionally, the platform has been designed to enables participants throughout the plastics ecosystem to potentially: Improve sorting efficiency and material recovery yields through smart sorting and material identification; Grade recycled plastics based on composition, recycled content, quality and recycling history; Verify recycled content and material composition at the material level; Unlock higher-value applications traditionally reserved for virgin plastics; Create certified recycled plastic streams with trusted quality standards; Track loop counts and multiple recycling cycles; Create Digital Material Passports for every batch of material; Reduce contamination risks and improve recyclate quality; Increase the value of recycled materials through certification, transparency and trusted data; Access verified recycled plastic marketplaces and buyers; Support compliance with EPR, recycled content and sustainability regulations; Create Plastic Cycle Tokens linked to verified circularity outcomes; and Improve financing opportunities through verified environmental performance. Through SMX's physical-to-digital infrastructure, recycled material can carry a Digital Material Passport recording polymer type, recycled content, source, grade, verification history, available volume and recycling loop count. A cornerstone of the platform is SMX's newly launched Recycled Plastic Registry and Marketplace, where verified recycled plastic can be recorded, certified and made available to qualified buyers. The registry has been designed to establish a trusted source for recycled material quality, availability, location, transaction history, recycled content and material grades, supporting transparent market participation and future price discovery. The Marketplace creates a new mechanism for connecting verified supply with demand, expected to allow buyers to source certified recycled materials with greater confidence while enabling recyclers and processors to capture additional value from identified higher-quality recycled plastic streams. In addition, SMX's Plastic Cycle Token (PCT) framework enables verified recycling outcomes to be digitally represented and tracked, creating new opportunities for circularity credits, financing mechanisms and outcome-based funding models. The launch reflects SMX's vision that recycling must evolve beyond waste management into a value-generating industrial ecosystem. By providing the infrastructure to verify, certify, track and monetize recycled materials, SMX is seeking to enable a transition from fragmented recycling systems toward a transparent and data-driven circular economy. Through the combination of molecular marking, Digital Material Passports, a Recycled Plastic Registry, Marketplace infrastructure and Plastic Cycle Tokens, SMX is seeking to create the framework for recycled plastics to become a globally recognized, graded, certified and tradeable asset class. The launch forms part of SMX's broader strategy to establish global industry standards for verified recycled plastics and accelerate the transition from a linear economy to a circular materials ecosystem where waste becomes a valuable, trusted and commercially attractive resource.
