SMX, CETI Launch Traceability Standard

SMX Security Matters PLC, in collaboration with Centre Européen des Textiles Innovants, has introduced a new standard for audit-proof traceability in the nonwovens and fiber industries. This breakthrough involves embedding a chemical-based marker directly into materials, creating a tamper-proof identity that remains throughout the product lifecycle. The technology, already proven in fashion and textile supply chains, aims to close the gap between sustainability claims and verifiable data, addressing tightening regulatory standards and increasing scrutiny. Centre Européen des Textiles Innovants provides independent validation for this system. The platform integrates embedded chemical markers, reader technology, and a secure blockchain-enabled digital platform to ensure trusted data. This innovation is expected to have a measurable impact on industries like filtration, hygiene products, medical textiles, and automotive components by supporting regulatory compliance, increasing supply chain transparency, and improving recycling outcomes.
