Retail in the age of regeneration

Smart Tags and Recyclability

Connectivity with devices, such as smartphones and logistics systems in warehouses and retail stores, is needed for asset tracking. To connect packages with those devices, the primary technology is smart labels, which use small antennas to emit radio waves. With the need for asset tracking and the increasing market shift to sensor-enabled packaging, brands concerned with the sustainability are asking questions about the impact of smart tags on the recyclability of their corrugated packaging within typical recycling systems.
