SMX and CARTIF to Evaluate Strategic Circular Economy Collaboration

SMX (Security Matters) PLC has announced a non-binding letter of intent with CARTIF, a leading technology research centre in Spain. This collaboration aims to integrate SMX's molecular marking technology into CARTIF's sustainability and Industry 5.0 projects. The goal is to enhance material tracking, authenticate products, and accelerate the transition to a circular economy.

The partnership could aid companies and communities in the Castilla y Leon region in Spain, with a broader vision for Europe. By embedding SMX's technology in CARTIF's pilot projects, the initiative aims to streamline testing and strengthen grant applications.

Key sectors targeted include packaging, renewable energy, automotive, and construction materials. The initiative aligns with tightening ESG disclosure requirements. The evaluation period is set at 120 days and awaits final agreements.
