Go Green: Connection Between RFID and Environment


Connection Between RFID and Environment
Over the years, many people have used the word 'technology' as an antonym to a healthy environment. The word green technology may seem weird to such people, but it is a fact that such technologies exist. The technologies that are recyclable, energy-efficient, safe and healthy are known as green technologies or environmental technologies. Currently,  RFID may not be categorized under the green technologies but it might very soon be the newest addition to such Eco-friendly technologies. RFID can be utilized to promote a healthy environment among our society.

Impact of RFID

RFID technology can be used in recycling reward programs. RFID tags can be attached to the recycling bins of every resident of the community to track the amount of materials that are being recycled by each of the residents. Rewards should be given to residents who are recycling the most. The RFID-based recycling reward programs will definitely promote recycling, and it will be a big step towards a safer and healthier environment. RFID can also help in improving the waste management process. Utilizing RFID tags and readers in waste management market will improve the whole process. Hauling vehicles and bins that are RFID-enabled can track the missing containers and also automatically update the data entry for customer billing. Incorporating RFID with technologies like GPS, route mapping and monitoring of vehicles can be improved.

RFID can also help in reducing waste by providing an efficient way for smart packaging of products. It will add safety mechanisms such as tamper-proofing and will also provide the ability to measure the freshness of the product. RFID can impact environment in a positive way.
