PARIS, FR AND SINGAPORE, SG / ACCESS Newswire / December 11, 2025 / SMX (Security Matters) PLC (NASDAQ:SMX), the global leader in molecular-based material authentication and digital product passports, today announced a successful multi-day industrial pilot validating SMX’s ability to deliver full-chain traceability for cotton.

The pilot confirmed that SMX markers, applied during the mechanical recycling process, remain detectable and stable through fibre mixing, carding, yarn spinning, fabric formation, and into the final finished textile product.

This establishes a verifiable, scientific method to authenticate both material origin and the percentage of recycled cotton embedded in fabrics, addressing one of the biggest challenges facing global apparel supply chains.

Full-Chain Validation Achieved

During the industrial pilot, SMX demonstrated that its molecular markers:

• Can be applied to recycled cotton during shredding and spraying without affecting fibre quality.

• Remain fully traceable after blending virgin and recycled fibres in multiple ratios.

• Survive fibre opening, carding, and sliver formation with consistent detectability.

• Endure spinning processes, allowing clear verification in finished yarn.

• Persist through fabric formation and finishing, enabling authentication directly on the final textile.

This end-to-end validation confirms that SMX technology integrates with existing textile operations and provides a reliable, scalable mechanism for verifying recycled content – which could help brands, regulators, and manufacturers meet ESG and Digital Product Passport requirements.

A New Standard for Evidence-Based Sustainability, Trade Compliance, and Export Advantage

SMX believes that this industrial pilot marks a decisive advancement for the textile sector, proving that cotton can now retain an authenticated and machine-readable identity throughout its entire transformation journey. Beyond strengthening sustainability claims, SMX’s material-level verification equips manufacturers and exporters with trusted data needed to secure preferential tariff treatment, avoid misclassification penalties, and streamline cross-border documentation under origin-dependent frameworks.

The ability to scientifically confirm where fibres come from – and the exact recycled percentage embedded in the finished product – directly supports eligibility for free-trade agreements, reduced-duty corridors, and sustainability-linked trade incentives. In parallel, the data generated by SMX’s molecular markers integrates into the Product Digital Passport (PDP/DPP) ecosystem, enabling automated, regulator-ready records that document provenance, recycled content, and compliance attributes required under certain EU, US, and emerging Asian regulations.

By providing tamper-resistant verification that replaces assumption-based reporting, SMX can enable brands to strengthen ESG transparency, reduce exposure to customs audits and shipment delays, and accelerate market access for sustainability-certified goods.

Commercial Rollout

With the successful industrial proof now completed, SMX is ready to scale commercial deployment with leading apparel brands, recyclers, manufacturing groups, and global buyers seeking verifiable origin and recycled-content assurance.

SMX further believes that its ability to authenticate materials from recycling through to finished fabric could enable SMX to support customers in securing preferential tariffs, strengthening export competitiveness, meeting Digital Product Passport obligations, and protecting ESG claims with scientific certainty.

This milestone positions SMX as the enabling infrastructure for a new class of premium, traceable textile products – unlocking commercial value, accelerating compliance-driven adoption, and establishing a trusted global standard for material verification across the textile sector.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / November 14, 2025 / Gold has always enjoyed a reputation it never had to justify. It symbolized beauty, stability, and power. The world accepted its story without ever asking for evidence. That era is ending. Modern buyers want credentials. Regulators want verification. Brands want trust they can prove.

This is the environment where SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) and its majority-owned subsidiary, trueGold, are rewriting the rules of precious metals. They are not polishing old systems. They are introducing an entirely new way to authenticate luxury materials at the molecular level.

trueGold’s patented marker technology sits at the center of the shift. Every bit of gold receives an invisible molecular signature that stays with it from the moment it leaves the mine. It can’t be removed. It can’t be counterfeited. And, it can’t be separated from the material. When the gold is refined, alloyed, melted, recast, or recycled, the signature stays alive. SMX’s registry records each step, making the metal self-verifying. Gold gains a memory.

Luxury With Verification Built In
Luxury brands have always sold a story. Now the buyers expect receipts. Surveys from IBM and PwC show that traceability is no longer a novelty. It is a feature that commands real premiums. Consumers want proof of where their gold came from, how it was sourced, and whether any part of it is recycled.

trueGold gives them that in a single scan. Jewelers, watchmakers, and investors can instantly confirm the origin and authenticity of a piece through a digital passport linked to its molecular marker. The result is a piece of gold that carries its own history as part of its value. Sustainability is no longer marketing language. It becomes a quantifiable attribute of the product itself.

For brands that live or die on reputation, that is a meaningful shift. Verified provenance becomes a competitive edge rather than an optional claim.

Trust With Scientific Backing
The entire system rests on one essential truth: the science must withstand every attempt to challenge it. That is why SMX submitted its molecular-marker technology to one of the most rigorous evaluation frameworks available. Independent validation by Intertek, conducted under the globally recognized AnchorCert Pro 2 protocol, confirmed the marker’s safety and stability across the United States, Canada, Europe, and other major regulatory jurisdictions. The results were unequivocal.

The marker is chemically inert. It does not react with skin, air, moisture, or alloys. It remains invisible even under close inspection and carries no sensory footprint. And, it does not change the weight, density, purity, or color of gold in any measurable way.

That level of scientific neutrality is what allows the technology to strengthen trust without interfering with craft. A jeweler can set a diamond, polish a bracelet, or finish a watch case exactly as artisans have done for centuries, and the marker remains present yet undetectable. Nothing about the metal’s hallmark, shine, or aesthetic signature is altered. The artistry and metallurgy stay untouched, but the authenticity becomes undeniable.

This blend of tradition and technology is what makes the approach so powerful. The gold behaves exactly as it always has in the hands of creators and consumers, yet it carries an invisible layer of assurance that lifts it beyond the limits of conventional verification. The piece still feels precious. It still looks flawless. It still holds emotional and financial value. The only thing that changes is the level of certainty surrounding it. Trust becomes empirical, not assumed – a natural extension of the metal itself rather than an external promise pinned to it.

Closing the Gaps the Industry Learned to Ignore
That’s a timely addition. The precious metals industry has long been held together by paperwork and trust between intermediaries. Certificates can be misplaced. Audits can be flawed. Supply chains are often global webs with far too many blind spots.

trueGold replaces assumption with evidence. Each transfer is logged in a single digital record. The marker cannot be forged or edited. The chain of custody is no longer a theoretical line on a PDF. It becomes a material fact embedded in the metal itself.

This level of clarity matters to institutional buyers too. It supports ESG disclosures, aligns with LBMA expectations, and positions brands for the incoming European Union Digital Product Passport requirements. Compliance with true verification becomes simpler and cheaper.

The Start of a Circular Precious Metals Economy
What makes this breakthrough more significant is its permanence. Since the marker survives the recycling process, gold can re-enter the supply chain with its identity intact. The industry gets a circular economy with proof, not guesswork.

The same gold that served one generation can serve the next without losing its story. Longevity becomes traceable and sustainability becomes searchable. For centuries, gold has been timeless. Now it is also transparent. And that combination has the potential to reshape how the world defines ethical wealth.

SMX and trueGold have taken a material known for permanence and added something more powerful. They gave it a voice, a history, and the ability to prove itself. And in a market that values trust as much as shine, that may end up being the most valuable feature of all.

NEW YORK, NY AND VALLADOLID, SPAIN / ACCESS Newswire / November 4, 2025 / SMX (Security Matters) PLC (“SMX”), the pioneer of molecular “physical-to-digital” marking for supply-chain transparency, and CARTIF, one of Spain’s leading non-profit technology research centres, have entered into a non-binding letter of intent, with the purpose of seeking to create a framework to integrate SMX’s end-to-end tracing platform into CARTIF’s extensive portfolio of sustainability and Industry 5.0 projects.

The goal of the Letter of Intent is to evaluate the application of SMX’s molecular marking technology for strategic material based projects led by CARTIF, to identify complementary technological synergies that can enhance the integration of SMX’s molecular tracking solutions within broader digitalisation and circular economy frameworks. In addition, the Letter of Intent contemplates CARTIF contributing technologically to SMX-led initiatives or joint projects through its expertise in advanced process digitalisation and waste valorisation.

SMX believes that any ultimate binding agreement between the parties could help local companies, communities and government departments in Spain’s Castilla y Leon region and its industrial sector and manufacturing hub, initially, with an ultimate goal to target the rest of Spain and throughout Europe, to track critical materials, authenticate products, and unlock new funding mechanisms that speed the transition to a circular economy.

The collaboration with CARTIF contemplated by the Letter of Intent is expected to put a powerful, digitalized traceability tool directly in the hands of one of Europe’s most versatile applied-research centres. By embedding SMX’s molecular markers and blockchain analytics into CARTIF’s pilot plants and living-lab programmes, it may be able streamline proof-of-concept testing, strengthen grant applications, and shorten the path from lab discovery to industrial deployment.

The combined platform is targeting measurable circular-economy gains for sectors as diverse as food and beverage packaging, renewable-energy components, construction materials, automotive plastics, and critical-raw-material refining, potentially giving CARTIF and its regional stakeholders a competitive edge as Spain and the EU tighten ESG disclosure and recycled-content targets.

The Letter of Intent contemplates a 120-day evaluation period, and the collaboration is subject to the execution of definitive agreements between the parties.

CARTIF Deputy General Manager and Head of R&D Programmes Department Sergio Sanz commented:
“As a non-profit innovation centre, our mission is to scout, validate and deploy technologies that help our stakeholders, whether public agencies or private enterprises, meet their sustainability goals. We believe that SMX’s platform offers exactly the kind of breakthrough capability our clients need to prove and improve circular performance.”

COMPELLING FUTURE IMPACT

The potential SMX-CARTIF partnership would position Valladolid as a launch-pad for Europe’s next generation of circular-economy solutions. By fusing world-class research with industrial-scale traceability, it could deliver three decisive advantages:

1. Scientific proof, commercial speed – Lab-to-market pathways to be shortened, potentially giving manufacturers a rapid route to compliant, high-value recycled inputs.

2. Finance-ready transparency – Real-time, tamper-proof data designed to unlock sustainability-linked finance, potentially turning environmental performance into tangible cash-flow benefits.

3. Ecosystem multiplier – Open innovation across packaging, renewables, construction, automotive and critical-minerals sectors, potentially creating a network effect with the goal of raising Spain’s competitiveness in meeting EU Green Deal targets.

SMX believes that circularity requires more than ambition – it needs verifiable data that every stakeholder can trust. SMX is seeking with CARTIF to move beyond pilots to build an ecosystem where every molecule has a digital passport and every recycled resource commands its true market value, with an ultimate goal of Spain, and Europe, leading the global transition from linear consumption to regenerative growth.

Integrating molecular traceability into recycled plastics to deliver transparent, auditable, and regulatory-ready reporting-to bridge the recycled content gap, lower costs for American companies, and empower new generations of consumers to choose sustainable products.

NEW YORK, NY AND MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / October 1, 2025 / SMX (Security Matters) PLC (NASDAQ:SMX), a pioneer in digitizing physical objects for a circular economy, and Tradepro Inc., a U.S.-based leader in plastics recycling and distribution, today announced a strategic collaboration to accelerate the adoption of sustainable plastics across multiple applications. By combining SMX’s molecular traceability platform with Tradepro’s extensive recycling and distribution network, the two companies aim to deliver a new level of material efficiency and supply chain reliability to the U.S. plastics market.

Bridging the Recycled Content Gap

The collaboration is designed to bridge the demand gap for recycled content across a wide spectrum of plastics-not limited to PET-ensuring U.S. companies can access verifiable recycled materials for packaging, manufacturing, and consumer goods. With SMX’s molecular markers embedded at the material level, brand owners, regulators, and auditors would gain trusted, auditable data on recycled content percentages and product origin.

Unlocking Efficiency and Reducing Foreign Dependency

Beyond sustainability, the collaboration is being positioned as a cost-saving and efficiency driver for American companies. By enabling localized sourcing and transparent verification of recycled materials, Tradepro and SMX are looking to help reduce reliance on imported chemicals and materials, while cutting transportation costs tied to overseas and inland supply chains. This is expected to create a stronger, more resilient U.S. plastics ecosystem.

Meeting Consumer Expectations

With a significant cross-section of the U.S. population placing a premium on sustainable product choices, the collaboration is expected to create an industry standout opportunity. By delivering plastics that are digitally certified for recycled content and origin, Tradepro and SMX’s collaboration would enable American consumers to make confident, sustainability-driven purchasing decisions-supporting a new generation’s demand for authenticity and accountability.

Key Outcomes of the Collaboration

• FDA Compliance: SMX’s molecular marker was integrated into Tradepro’s rPET resin in line with FDA regulations for Food Contact Substances (21 CFR), confirming its industrial applicability for food-grade packaging.

• End-to-End Durability: The marker was consistently detected across all process stages-resin, compounding, and final bottle production-proving its durability and reliability.

• Non-Destructive Verification: Using SMX’s proprietary reader, marked rPET was identified and traced post-production without altering product performance or appearance.

• Quantitative Accuracy: SMX technology accurately detected varying recycled-content percentages in Tradepro’s rPET, providing a robust quality and compliance tool for the supply chain.

• Digital Certification: The system is designed to enable Tradepro to authenticate origin, quantify recycled content in real time, and deliver auditable reports to regulators, auditors, brand owners, and customers.

Steven Schmutter, President of Tradepro Inc., said:
“For more than 35 years, Tradepro has supplied recycled plastics to industries worldwide. Partnering with SMX allows us to take the next step-delivering not only high-quality recycled materials but also the verified data that American companies and consumers are asking for. Together, we are expanding recycled content into new applications and building a more efficient, reliable U.S. market for sustainable plastics.”

Haggai Alon, CEO & Founder of SMX, added:
“This partnership is about more than traceability-it’s about efficiency. By embedding molecular identity into recycled plastics and pairing it with a digital certification platform, we’re enabling American companies to cut costs, reduce foreign dependency, and meet the expectations of younger generations who want sustainable products. This is how material efficiency becomes a competitive advantage.“

Driving a New Industry Standard

By embedding traceability at the molecular level and linking it to a secure blockchain record, SMX and Tradepro are laying the groundwork for a new industry reporting standard-one built on verifiable data rather than self-declaration. This aligns with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s “Sustainable Management of Plastics” program and responds to growing demands for transparent, auditable circularity practices.
