Early Radar: (SMX) Takes Center Stage As Demand Builds

Dear Reader,

The future of recycling isn't just about recovering more material, it's about proving exactly what was recovered, where it came from, and whether it truly made its way back into the supply chain.

That is the challenge SMX (NASDAQ: SMX) is aiming to solve.

Just last week, (SMX) highlighted how a growing wave of state regulations is reshaping the recycling industry. As laws requiring recycled content and extended producer responsibility continue expanding across the United States, businesses are increasingly being asked to verify, not simply claim, their sustainability efforts.

California's SB 54, New Jersey's post-consumer recycled-content requirements, and EPR packaging legislation now in place across states including Maine, Oregon, Colorado, Minnesota, Maryland, and Washington all point toward the same emerging reality: companies must be able to prove compliance with reliable data.

For organizations operating throughout the plastics value chain, traceability is rapidly becoming a business necessity rather than a competitive advantage.

Another factor that has caught our attention is (SMX)'s exceptionally tight share structure. The company currently has fewer than 33 shares listed as available to the public, creating a supply profile that can become highly responsive if interest begins to increase.

This comes as (SMX) continues expanding its long-term strategy around what it calls the "Age of Parity", the point at which certified recycled plastics compete with virgin plastics based on economics rather than environmental preference. With supply chain disruptions, energy volatility, tariffs, and evolving regulations continuing to reshape global manufacturing, verified material tracking is becoming increasingly valuable.

Earlier this month, (SMX) officially launched its Circularity-as-a-Service platform for the global plastics industry, designed to help transform recycled plastics into verified, certified, and tradable industrial assets. The platform supports participants across the entire ecosystem, from waste collectors and material recovery facilities to manufacturers, brand owners, and commodity traders, marking another step in the company's evolution from technology developer to circular economy infrastructure provider.

These developments are among the reasons (SMX) is on our watchlist this morning—Thursday, July 2, 2026.

Inside The Technology Powering The Next Generation Of Recycling

SMX (NASDAQ: SMX) is a technology company focused on bringing traceability, authentication, and verification to physical materials throughout global supply chains. Its proprietary platform combines molecular marking technology with digital tracking, enabling businesses to identify, measure, verify, and monitor materials throughout their lifecycle, from production through recycling and reuse.

At the core of (SMX)'s platform is its proprietary molecular marking technology, which embeds an invisible, permanent marker into materials without changing their physical properties. That marker is linked to a secure digital record, often referred to as a Digital Material Passport, allowing products and raw materials to be authenticated and tracked throughout their entire lifecycle, from manufacturing to recycling and reuse.

(SMX) has also introduced its Circularity-as-a-Service (CaaS) platform, an end-to-end ecosystem built for the global plastics industry. The platform combines molecular marking, reader infrastructure, Digital Material Passports, the (SMX) Recycled Plastic Registry, marketplace functionality, and Plastic Cycle Tokens to help transform recycled plastics into verified, certified, traceable, and tradable industrial assets. According to the company, the platform is designed to serve participants across the plastics value chain, from collectors and recyclers to manufacturers, brand owners, retailers, and commodity traders.

By combining physical material authentication with digital data, (SMX) aims to provide companies with the tools needed to verify recycled content, document chain of custody, support environmental reporting, and meet an increasing number of global traceability and circular economy requirements.

Capitalizing On A Global Shift

(SMX) operates at the intersection of supply chain technology, material traceability, and the circular economy, markets benefiting from growing demand for recycled-content verification and supply chain transparency.

The global circular plastics market is projected to grow from approximately $73B in 2024 to nearly $198B by 2035, driven by stricter regulations, corporate sustainability initiatives, and increased recycling adoption.

As governments and major brands push for greater traceability, companies are increasingly seeking technologies that can verify material origin, recycled content, and chain of custody. (SMX)'s molecular marking technology and Digital Material Passport platform are designed to help address these evolving industry needs.
