The document discusses the environmental benefits of Tageos RFID labels compared to traditional RFID tags. Tageos labels use 50% less glue in manufacturing and have no plastic components, creating up to 90% less waste. They also have a lighter carbon footprint, using 90% less carbon dioxide in the production process and saving 2.3 tons of plastic for every 10 million labels. Additionally, Tageos labels require 10 to 100 times less metal in their antennas while maintaining equal performance to traditional tags.

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.
