SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) has achieved a significant breakthrough in plastic recycling technology through successful trials with BT-Systems - Competence Center REDWAVE for NAFRA. The two-day demonstration showcased 99-100% accuracy in sorting various plastics at 2 m/s conveyor speed.
The trials focused on two key areas: food-grade plastics on Day 1 and flame-retardant black plastics with NAFRA on Day 2. The technology combines SMX's molecular markers with REDWAVE's detection systems, creating a blockchain-backed digital passport that enables full traceability from raw materials through recycling.
A major highlight is the breakthrough in sorting carbon black plastics, which were previously impossible to recycle due to their light-absorbing properties. The system successfully processes food-grade materials, fire-retardant compositions, and carbon black plastics, transforming plastic waste into certified, valuable commodities for supply chains.
SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) has successfully completed proof-of-concept trials with RedWave, demonstrating advanced sorting solutions for food-grade, flame-retardant, and carbon black plastics. The two-day trials, conducted in collaboration with NAFRA and A*Star, achieved 99-100% accuracy in detecting and separating SMX-marked plastics at commercial speeds of 2 m/s.
The breakthrough technology combines SMX's molecular markers with RedWave's detection systems and blockchain-backed digital passport, enabling full traceability from raw materials through production, recycling, and reuse. The system successfully processed 22 kg of material across multiple design runs, particularly addressing the challenging recyclability of carbon black plastics and ensuring proper sorting of food-grade materials.
SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with BT-SYSTEMS GmbH's Competence Center REDWAVE for a 12-month collaboration to develop advanced sorting and certification solutions for the recycling industry.
