Each plastic unit now includes a digital identifier to track its full life cycle from production to post-use recovery.<\/p>\n<p>This integration supports SMX\u2019s Plastic Cycle Token (PCT), which assigns monetary value to verified recycling activities.<\/p>\n<p>This token allows recycled plastic to be traded as an authenticated asset within an open-market framework.<\/p>\n<p>It transforms sustainability practices into economically viable actions backed by blockchain verification.<\/p>\n<p>Through PCT, supply chains can validate, price, and monetise sustainability initiatives in real time.<\/p>\n<p>The approach shifts recycling from a compliance task to a measurable revenue-generating activity. SMX noted that its technology ensures that environmental efforts are transparent, auditable, and financially relevant.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, SMX has also partnered with Aegis Packaging, a developer of the O\u2082X high-barrier coating for flexible plastics.<\/p>\n<p>The O\u2082X technology enables monomaterial packaging to achieve performance levels once only possible with unrecyclable laminates.<\/p>\n<p>By embedding SMX\u2019s traceability system, the packaging can now self-verify its origin, use, and end-of-life handling.<\/p>\n<p>The packaging\u2019s life cycle data is recorded and secured on a blockchain platform, reducing dependency on manual oversight. This combination of physical and digital traceability enhances compliance and operational transparency.<\/p>\n<p>            <!-- sponsored-whitepaper sponsored hidden sponsored-with-form --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Newsletter banner start --><\/p>\n<p><!-- <link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"\"> --><\/p>\n<div class=\"grid-container\">\n<section class=\"gdm-newsletter-banner__container\">\n<div class=\"grid-x gdm-newsletter-banner__wrapper-container gdm-newsletter-banner__wrapper-container--article\">\n<div class=\"cell large-9 gdm-newsletter-banner-info__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"gdm-newsletter-banner-logo__container\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.packaging-gateway.com\/wp-content\/themes\/goodlife-wp-B2B\/assets\/images\/newsletter-new.svg\" alt=\"Email newsletter icon\"\/>\n                <\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"gdm-newsletter-banner__heading wp-noreslt\">Sign up for our daily news round-up!<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"gdm-newsletter-banner__sub-heading\">Give your business an edge with our leading industry insights.<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- Newsletter banner end --><\/p>\n<footer class=\"article-footer\">\n                                <!-- article-actions start --><\/p>\n<p><!-- .gdm-article-actions -->                                <!-- article-actions end --><br \/>\n                            <\/footer>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.packaging-gateway.com\/news\/smx-skypac-form-traceability-partnership\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The move marks a continuation of SMX\u2019s growth in the ASEAN region.
