SMX says certified recycled plastic nears cost parity with virgin material as oil prices rise
  • SMX analysis flags rising oil prices near $100 a barrel as a renewed cost shock for virgin plastic tied to fossil-feedstock economics.
  • Recycled plastic is positioned as an affordability hedge, offering a supply stream less directly exposed to oil-price volatility.
  • Report frames an “Age of Parity” as certified recycled resin becomes cost-competitive with virgin material on economics, not sustainability claims.
  • Key constraint remains verification; without audit-ready proof of origin and recycled content, recycled inputs struggle to scale or command value.
  • SMX points to molecular markers linked to digital material passports to support certification across sorting, recycling, manufacturing, and reuse.
