The article, published September 28, looks at the growing importance of verification as recycling regulations evolve and highlights SMX's technology as a potential solution for establishing greater transparency and accountability across material supply chains.

The coverage comes as governments, manufacturers and recyclers increasingly confront the gap between setting recycling targets and proving that those targets have actually been met.
