SMX Makes Ghost Plastics Visible and Trackable as Flame-Retardant and Carbon Black Plastics Passport Emerges (NASDAQ:SMX)

[{"type":"text","content":"NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / September 18, 2025 / For too long, recycling has worn the label of obligation. Governments issued quotas, companies ticked boxes under duress, and consumers quietly questioned whether any of it mattered. The cycle usually ended in the same place - higher costs, flat recycling rates, and very little trust. SMX (NASDAQ:SMX), together with BT-Systems' Competence Center REDWAVE, just rewrote that story. What was once compliance theater is now a commercial engine with real horsepower, one that stretches across food, automotive, and electronics markets.The proof came in demonstrations before NAFRA, an institution with the clout to turn trials into standards. SMX showed that plastics long considered untouchable can now be detected, separated, and certified at industrial speed. Food-grade packaging, flame-retardant materials, and even the notorious carbon black plastics are no longer landfill-bound. They are verified, valuable, and ready to re-enter global supply chains. That single shift moves recycling out of the sustainability column and straight into the profit column.Certified Recycling Gains Global MomentumStart with food-grade plastics. For packaging companies and consumer brands, this has been the biggest bottleneck. Regulators demand more recycled content, consumers demand safer packaging, but supply chains have been unpredictable at best. SMX's molecular markers, running on REDWAVE's high-speed detection lines, change the equation. Food-grade content can now be certified and delivered at scale. Companies cut costs by reducing virgin resin use, regulators finally get verifiable compliance, and shoppers get packaging they can believe in. For a sector squeezed from every angle, this is not a minor upgrade. It is survival.Flame-retardant plastics tell a similar story. Critical for safety in vehicles and electronics, they have historically been too risky to recycle without contamination. SMX broke through that wall. With molecular traceability, these plastics can be confidently identified and reused without compromising safety standards. That means automakers can meet environmental targets without sacrificing performance, and electronics manufacturers can reduce costs without cutting corners. NAFRA's presence here is no accident - as a European body representing flame-retardant interests, their vali...
