National Plastic Passport

A national digital traceability system for plastics, developed by A*STAR with Security Matters (SMX), using molecular markers and blockchain tracking to follow plastic materials from resin to recycled product. Billed as the world's first system of its kind, Phase 1 launched in Q1 2026, tagging and tracing over 5,000 tonnes of plastic waste annually. Directly relevant to any Polymr-style business sourcing recycled plastic feedstock, since it's designed to verify recycled content claims.
