Plastic Lifecycle Tracking Systems

SMX and Skypac Packaging have launched a partnership to bring traceability to flexible plastic packaging. The new system integrates SMX’s molecular marker technology and blockchain tracking into Skypac’s packaging products, allowing end-to-end visibility across the product lifecycle. The initiative promotes responsible plastic use by enabling companies to verify how packaging is managed post-use -- whether recycled, reused, or sent for energy recovery. The solution is especially relevant to regions like Singapore, where waste is incinerated rather than landfilled.

The alliance offers businesses a turnkey system to meet ESG targets and report accurately on packaging sustainability, providing proof points for both regulators and consumers. This alliance introduces a practical model for packaging accountability, offering companies supply chain clarity and regulatory readiness. It may also enhance brand trust and encourage broader adoption of smart packaging systems across the industry.
