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.
