SMX Transforms Recycled Plastics with Molecular Identity

In a groundbreaking move for the recycling industry, SMX (Security Matters), in collaboration with Miami-based Tradepro, is embedding FDA-compliant molecular markers into recycled PET (rPET), giving these materials a verifiable identity. This innovation allows for the tracking and certification of recycled plastics, transforming them from risk-defined commodities to credible materials.

This partnership marks SMX's entry into the U.S. plastics ecosystem, complementing its global initiatives in Southeast Asia and Europe. The ability to meet FDA standards in food-grade packaging introduces rPET to high-value markets traditionally limited to virgin plastics.

SMX's molecular marking technology not only assures compliance but also transforms trust dynamics in recycling. With the integration of SMX's Plastic Cycle Token, rPET becomes a tradeable financial asset. This shift is set to redefine the recycling economics, offering a pathway for recycled plastics to compete with virgin resins.
