SMX says certified recycled plastic gains cost parity with virgin resin amid oil volatility and trade disruption

• SMX published an industry analysis arguing oil volatility, tariffs, trade fragmentation, war risk, and supply-chain disruption are making recycled plastic cost-competitive with virgin resin.
• The report framed this as a permanent “Age of Parity,” shifting recycled plastic from an environmental choice to an input that can hedge price shocks.
• SMX positioned certified recycled plastic as a strategic response to tighter supply security needs across essential plastic-dependent sectors.
• The analysis highlighted verification as the key constraint, citing rising demand for auditable proof of recycled content as circular markets expand.
• SMX said its molecular marking system can authenticate origin and recycled content, supporting compliance, procurement, and product-passport style reporting.
