NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 27, 2026 / SMX (Security Matters) PLC (NASDAQ: SMX)(NASDAQ: SMXWW) has recently been featured in Forbes, Miami Herald, TIME, Rolling Stone and other media as attention builds around a new materials reality: recycled plastic is no longer the backup plan. It is becoming the answer. In what SMX calls the Age of Parity, recycled plastic moves 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. SMX technology and capabilities provide the answer, as detailed in these recent articles:
