SMX SEC MATTERS PLC Stock Price, News & Analysis

SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) has announced a strategic partnership with CETI (European Center for Innovative Textiles) to implement molecular traceability in the European textile industry. The collaboration aims to integrate SMX's molecular markers and blockchain-backed digital passports into CETI's textile R&D programs.

The partnership focuses on three key objectives: accelerating lab-to-market pathways for recycled fibers, enabling sustainability-linked finance through real-time data tracking, and creating an ecosystem multiplier effect across fashion, sportswear, and luxury sectors. This initiative supports EU Digital Product Passport regulations and ESG reporting requirements while promoting textile recycling and reuse.

SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) has achieved a significant breakthrough in plastic recycling technology through successful trials with BT-Systems - Competence Center REDWAVE for NAFRA. The two-day demonstration showcased 99-100% accuracy in sorting various plastics at 2 m/s conveyor speed.

The trials focused on two key areas: food-grade plastics on Day 1 and flame-retardant black plastics with NAFRA on Day 2. The technology combines SMX's molecular markers with REDWAVE's detection systems, creating a blockchain-backed digital passport that enables full traceability from raw materials through recycling.

A major highlight is the breakthrough in sorting carbon black plastics, which were previously impossible to recycle due to their light-absorbing properties. The system successfully processes food-grade materials, fire-retardant compositions, and carbon black plastics, transforming plastic waste into certified, valuable commodities for supply chains.

SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) has successfully completed proof-of-concept trials with RedWave, demonstrating advanced sorting solutions for food-grade, flame-retardant, and carbon black plastics. The two-day trials, conducted in collaboration with NAFRA and A*Star, achieved 99-100% accuracy in detecting and separating SMX-marked plastics at commercial speeds of 2 m/s.

The breakthrough technology combines SMX's molecular markers with RedWave's detection systems and blockchain-backed digital passport, enabling full traceability from raw materials through production, recycling, and reuse. The system successfully processed 22 kg of material across multiple design runs, particularly addressing the challenging recyclability of carbon black plastics and ensuring proper sorting of food-grade materials.

SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with BT-SYSTEMS GmbH's Competence Center REDWAVE for a 12-month collaboration to develop advanced sorting and certification solutions for the recycling industry. The partnership aims to integrate SMX's molecular marking and blockchain-backed digital passport technology into BT-SYSTEMS' high-speed detection and sorting platforms.

The collaboration focuses on three key objectives: integrating SMX technology into REDWAVE's offerings for real-time material verification, enabling large-scale circularity for recycled materials, and establishing traceability standards. Following the 12-month period, both companies will evaluate potential definitive agreements for product development and commercialization.

Security Matters (NASDAQ:SMX) has announced a strategic partnership with Singapore's A*STAR to launch the world's first national plastic circularity platform. The initiative combines SMX's molecular marking technology with A*STAR's advanced research capabilities to create a comprehensive plastic tracking system.

The program will launch in Phase 1 with capacity to track 5,000 tonnes of post-consumer plastics annually, starting with semi-industrial integration in Q1 2026 and full-scale commercial showcase in Q2 2027. The system will enable tracking plastics from manufacturing to recycling using molecular "barcodes" and blockchain technology.

The partnership aims to transform Singapore's plastic recycling rate from its current 6% to over 36%, potentially creating S$100 million in annual value through reduced incineration costs and PCR sales. The initiative includes the innovative Plastic Cycle Token (PCT), a digital asset backed by verified recycled plastic, designed to replace traditional carbon credits.

SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) has announced a strategic partnership with Bio-Packaging Pte Ltd, a Singaporean sustainable packaging manufacturer. The collaboration integrates SMX's molecular marking technology into Bio-Packaging's product lines to create traceable sustainable packaging solutions.

The partnership embeds SMX's invisible molecular markers into Bio-Packaging's PCR, biodegradable, and certified-compostable products during production. Each scan creates a blockchain-verified "digital twin," providing real-time authentication of origin, material type, recycling loops, and composting outcomes. The solution aims to support Singapore's upcoming Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme and combat greenwashing through verifiable sustainability claims.

SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) has announced a 7:1 reverse stock split effective August 7, 2025. The consolidation will reduce the company's outstanding ordinary shares from approximately 9 million to 1 million.
