SMX’s Technology: The Circular Economy
At the forefront of SMX’s groundbreaking technology is their digital twin blockchain platform 3.0, which allows companies, and fashion brands in specific to efficiently recycle their own merchandise into higher-quality materials and products. This plug-and-play technology provides participating brands with a transparent, cost-effective, and scalable solution, revolutionizing production methods in the fast-paced, high-volume industry.
By adopting SMX’s technology, fashion brands can transition from a linear model of take-make-dispose to a circular model of take-reuse/make-recycle. This shift towards a circular economy not only reduces the need for raw materials and minimizes waste but also meets the financial goals and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) demands of the market and consumers. SMX’s Equilibrium Circular Economy business model paves the way for a more sustainable and future-proof fashion industry, and can be used across various other sectors that operate similarly to fashion.
Sustainable Fashion
SMX’s technology empowers fashion brands to achieve greater accountability, transparency, and ownership throughout the lifecycle of their products. By establishing an ethical and transparent supply chain, SMX enables real-time monitoring of the lifecycle and origins of materials, ensuring credible ESG reporting and compliance with international regulations.
Through SMX’s technology, fashion brands can authenticate and provide proof of quality, quantity, and origin of materials, assuring stakeholders, insurance providers, trading platforms, logistics, financing, and international customs. This heightened transparency not only builds trust with consumers but also strengthens the industry’s commitment to sustainability and responsible sourcing.
“With SMX’s B2B white label innovative technological offerings, the future of sustainable luxury is creating desire-inducing brand narratives that connect tangible sustainable ESG practices with the brand’s transparent traceability strategy, to create a profitable lifetime relationship with its customers that is circular rather than linear or transactional. Therefore, we are crafting tomorrow’s sustainable luxury with SMX’s technology.” said Zeren Browne SMX, Chief Strategy Officer
