New York Times analysis shows war-driven gasoline and diesel costs are raising the price of everyday life - strengthening the case for certified recycled plastic as an economic solution NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 22, 2026 / The war is no longer just raising the price of gas. It is raising the price of modern life.

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 22, 2026 / The material once dismissed as too expensive, too messy, and too difficult to scale has become one of the most practical tools for keeping modern life affordable. Recycled plastic, long treated as the greener but costlier alternative to virgin plastic, is being redefined by war, oil volatility, supply-chain pressure, tariffs, regulation, and new verification technology.

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 13, 2026 / The economics of plastic are entering a new phase. What was once assumed to be cheap, abundant, and endlessly available is now being tested by conflict, oil volatility, tariffs, resource pressure, and supply chain disruption.

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 12, 2026 / Last week, SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) outlined what it called the "Age of Parity" - the moment when recycled plastics and virgin plastics begin converging in cost due to war, oil volatility, supply chain disruption, tariffs, and resource pressure. But parity may prove to be only the beginning.

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 7, 2026 / SMX (Security Matters) PLC (NASDAQ:SMX; SMXWW) is entering the next phase of the plastic-pricing reset: moving the conversation from cost parity to cost control. On March 27, SMX outlined how rising energy prices, regulatory pressure and verification costs were reshaping the economics of virgin and recycled plastic.

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 7, 2026 / As geopolitical tensions and ongoing conflicts continue to unsettle global energy markets, the cost of everyday essentials-ranging from food and apparel to packaging and household goods-is climbing.
