SMX Moves into Latex and Rubber Gloves Traceability to Tackle Global Waste Stream

SMX Public Limited Company ( (SMX) ) has provided an announcement.

On December 31, 2025, SMX announced it is extending its industrial rubber traceability platform into latex and rubber gloves, adding a sixth application to its circular-rubber program and targeting one of the largest and most problematic post-use rubber waste streams. By embedding invisible molecular markers into glove compounds at the manufacturing stage, SMX aims to give each glove a persistent, scannable identity that can verify formulation, origin and use class, thereby enabling more informed sorting, contamination-aware segregation and the potential for safe recovery and reuse in a market exceeding 330 billion units annually. The company plans to begin working in the first quarter with glove manufacturers, major glove users in healthcare and industry, as well as waste handlers and recyclers, to pilot traceable glove materials and design safety-aligned workflows and recovery pathways, positioning SMX as a key technology partner for improving waste management, accountability and circularity in the global rubber gloves sector.
