"Ghost Plastics" No Longer Haunt Infrastructure With SMX Plastics Passport (NASDAQ: SMX)

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / September 18, 2025 / The strength of a nation is measured not only by its military or its economy but by the resilience of its infrastructure. Airports, hospitals, data centers, energy grids, defense facilities, and high-rise buildings are the quiet backbone of modern life, and when they fail, the consequences ripple far beyond the site of the accident. A single fire in a data center can cripple financial systems. A faulty panel in a hospital can put patients at risk. A misrepresented cladding in a high-rise can ignite tragedy on a scale that scars a generation. All of that sends a common and urgent message: National security is not just about borders; it's about materials
