Make "Made In America" Great Again: How Material Efficiency Can Strengthen U.S. IndustryNEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 8, 2026 / For American industry, material efficiency is no longer a secondary sustainability talking point. In a post-war world shaped by geopolitical conflict, supply-chain disruption, tariff pressure and rising compliance demands, it is becoming a strategic economic imperative. The ability to get more value, more certainty and more productivity out of every material stream is increasingly tied to national strength. That is the larger case now being made by SMX (Security Matters), whose work on material identity, traceability and digital infrastructure has evolved into a broader argument: material efficiency is crucial to maintaining American dominance in manufacturing, trade and resource security. Markets are moving away from vague claims and toward systems built on proof, verification and auditable data. It is not just an environmental or operational benefit, but a new economic model for how materials are identified, financed, traded and reused.
With Oil Prices Surging, Investors Gravitate to Physical Assets Like Silver; SMX Provides Digital Technology to CertifyNEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 8, 2026 / As silver pushes toward $70 an ounce and investors seek assets they can physically own, SMX is giving the precious metal something increasingly valuable: a persistent digital identity embedded directly into the material. Through its molecular marking technology, SMX can mark silver at the molecular level, creating an invisible, tamper-resistant identity designed to remain with the metal through refining, melting, manufacturing, transportation, storage, recycling and resale. That identity can be connected to a secure digital record documenting the silver's composition, origin, provenance and chain of custody, creating a new layer of certification that travels with the asset itself.

No Visa Required: SMX Passport Moves Physical Assets into the Digital EconomyNEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 7, 2026 / SMX built its Digital Material Passport Platform to give physical materials something they historically lacked: an identity that can survive every stage of their economic life. Now, as war, oil volatility, inflation and persistent supply-chain pressure redraw the economics of manufacturing, that digital passport is becoming increasingly important to a market where knowing what a material is, where it came from and what happened to it can directly affect what it is worth.
Good Intentions Don't Count; Measured Plastic DoesNEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 7, 2026 / The economics of plastic have turned recycling from an act of corporate responsibility into a financial imperative. SMX sits at the center of that shift, providing the authentication and traceability technology that allows recycled plastic to function as a trusted industrial material. With war, volatile oil prices, inflation, supply-chain pressures, higher diesel and transportation costs, tariffs and the threat of plastic taxes driving up the expense of virgin production, using recycled material is increasingly about protecting margins and controlling costs, not simply protecting the planet.

SMX: The Age of Parity is Permanent - and Certified Recycled Plastic Has Emerged as Its Economic OutcomeNEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 2, 2026 / The Age of Parity is permanent, and certified recycled plastic has emerged as one of its most important economic solutions. As war, oil volatility, tariffs, trade fragmentation and supply-chain nationalism alter the global economy, manufacturing with certified recycled plastic is no longer simply an environmental preference. It is a cost-efficient industrial strategy, an affordability tool and a direct response to a world where virgin oil-derived materials are increasingly exposed to price shocks, scarcity and geopolitical risk.
The Age of Parity Makes Affordability RealNEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 2, 2026 / It was there all along. SMX is unlocking new economic value from the enormous supply of plastic the world has already manufactured, much of it sitting in products, packaging and waste streams across the global economy. Now, as the economics of producing new plastic shift dramatically, that existing material is becoming far more valuable, turning what was once treated as waste into an increasingly competitive source of supply. SMX has developed the technology to authenticate that material, track its lifecycle and create an economic framework for putting it back to work.
The Age of Parity Has a Passport; SMX Has the StampNEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 2, 2026 / SMX built its Digital Material Passport Platform to give physical materials something they historically lacked: an identity that can survive every stage of their economic life.
