Application of RFID Technology in Waste Recycling Management

Using “RFID tags” to help garbage classification is more scientific

In our lives, a lot of garbage is generated every day. If these garbage are not properly classified, tracked and handled, they may cause pollution and even harm health. Now, there is a technology called RFID that is quietly helping us solve this problem.

How can RFID help us deal with garbage better?

1. Medical waste management
Hospitals generate a lot of special waste, such as used syringes, drug packaging, etc. If not handled properly, it may cause infection. After attaching RFID tags, each barrel of waste can be tracked in real time, knowing which department it comes from, what type it is, and what stage it has been processed at, so as to avoid omission or littering.

2. Hazardous waste control
If the waste generated by some factories leaks, it will pollute water and soil. The RFID system can monitor the location and status of these wastes at any time during transportation and processing. Once an abnormality is found, it will immediately alarm to prevent danger.

How does a complete “smart garbage management” system work?

The label is attached to the trash can to record the type and source of the garbage;

RFID readers and antennas can identify garbage information at a long distance;

The backend system is responsible for receiving this data, analyzing, alarming, and generating reports;

The operation interface allows managers to clearly see the “flow route” of the garbage, which is convenient for management and optimization.

End: Smarter and greener life

In general, RFID technology makes garbage recycling management smarter and more efficient. It can reduce manual operation errors, improve work efficiency, and protect our environment. If every trash can can “speak” in the future and tell us who it is, where it comes from, and where it is going, this is the power of RFID technology.
