Perspectives for the Application of RFID on Electric and Electronic Waste

  • Conference paper
Advances in Life Cycle Engineering for Sustainable Manufacturing Businesses

Abstract

Concerning the End of Life (EOL) of Waste of Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), the idea of a wireless ID or wireless information attached to WEEE devices, may enable numerous concepts for increased traceability and increased recycling efficiency. Technologically RFID is already capable of realizing several of these theoretical options. The ongoing development towards more powerful, reliable and cheaper RFID transponder technology will enable more and more of these theoretical options. This paper will introduce different concepts and a three-generation perspective for the application of RFID to WEEE.
