SMX says virgin plastic rises to ~$950-$1,100 per ton; recycled plastic climbs to ~$1,200-$1,400 per ton

SMX published a market analysis saying energy price volatility and regulatory measures are narrowing the cost gap between virgin and recycled plastic, shifting markets from trust-based sustainability claims to proof-based verification.
The analysis cited benchmark prices of about USD 950-1,100 per ton for virgin plastic and USD 1,200-1,400 per ton for recycled plastic.
SMX said combined oil and gas price shocks and added regulatory costs could move virgin plastic toward about USD 1,840 per ton and recycled plastic to about USD 1,430 per ton.
The report described SMX’s approach of embedding molecular markers in plastic linked to digital records to verify origin, composition, and recycled content and reduce verification costs.
It also outlined a concept called Plastic Cycle Token, described as a tradable digital asset tied to verified units of recycled plastic recorded by batch and facility.
