”
Traditional RFID tags, when discarded after
purchase, will inevitably cause environmental
pollution. Paper-based RFID clothing tags from
vendors such as Tageos, where the antenna is
printed on a paper substrate, without the use of
chemical agents, now offer a solution to this
problem. Those tags introduce a green and low cost
alternative for retail apparel apparel industry
applications where a large number of labels are
needed.
