Arizona Tribune - Media Profiles Highlight SMX's Growth, Technology, and Innovation

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 6, 2026 / A major profile in the Sept. 28, 2026 edition of the Boston Herald is just the latest major media report on SMX and how its technology is reshaping the recycling industry. As surging oil costs brought on by war and market turbulence bring parity to manufacturing costs, SMX is gaining media attention with its technological advances, including its digital material passport and other platforms.

SMX coined the recent tectonic changes to the market the Age of Parity, where recycled plastic has moved from environmental gesture to economic infrastructure - a way to sustain modern life as oil volatility, tariffs, plastic taxes, supply-chain shocks, inflation, and rising input costs pressure everything from packaging and food protection to medicine, electronics, textiles, transportation, and consumer goods.

Here are just a few of the recent media profiles.
