SMX and Singapore's ASTAR Drive the Common Language Needed for a Global Plastics Passport (NASDAQ: SMX)
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / September 5, 2025 / For decades, recycling systems have been trapped by the same barrier: national borders. Every country has its own framework, its own set of rules, and its own definition of success. A plastic bottle recycled in Germany is not the same as one recycled in the United States. A food wrapper collected in Singapore is not counted the same way as one in France. The result has been a fragmented patchwork that slows progress, confuses companies, and prevents true global accountability.
SMX's "Plastics Passport" Redefines Market Trust by Making "Proof" a New Currency

We've entered an economy where evidence is not optional- it's the entry ticket. And the companies capable of minting this verifiable proof hold the keys to unlocking entirely new markets. This is precisely where SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) has planted its flag.

Singapore and SMX Cement Global Leadership Role in Plastics Sustainability With Global Plastics Passport Technology
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / September 4, 2025 / For decades, the global debate over plastic waste has been defined more by ambition than by results. Policymakers set targets, global brands pledged billions, and NGOs pressed for accountability. Yet the frameworks underpinning recycling were never designed to succeed. They focused narrowly on PET bottles and food-grade rPET, leaving industrial polymers, automotive resins, textiles, and electronics out of the loop. With such gaps, even the most determined programs fell short.

SMX and Singapore's ASTAR Make History By Launching World's First Plastic Passport Program (NASDAQ:SMX)
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / September 4, 2025 / Governments, companies, and NGOs have long sought ways to make plastic recycling work at scale. Policymakers set bold targets, global brands committed billions, and environmental advocates pressed for accountability. The intent was never in question. What failed was the system. Recycling frameworks were designed too narrowly, focusing on a sliver of plastics like PET and rPET food-grade packaging while leaving out industrial polymers, automotive resins, textiles, and electronics. The result was a loop that could never fully close, even with the best of intentions.
