SMX industry note on recycled plastic economics and verification
SMX published an industry note arguing recycled plastic is nearing cost parity with virgin resin as oil-price volatility lifts petrochemical feedstock costs.
Analysis framed plastic recycling as a supply-chain hedge, positioning recovered waste as domestic inventory amid energy shocks and trade disruption.
Report flagged verification as a key constraint, citing molecular marking and a Digital Material Passport to support auditable recycled-content claims.
SMX also highlighted a Plastic Cycle Token to link authenticated physical material to a tokenized record for tracking recycling activity.
