RFID application in municipal waste management system

Abstract

An integral part of the consumer unit's life cycle includes its disposal or disposal of the distribution packaging. RFID tag used to identify the product can provide identification of the product itself as well as the packaging. This information can be used in the waste selective sorting process with regard to the safe management of waste and to optimize its secondary use. However, at this time the implementation of the RFID tag to each consumer unit is still a vision for the future, the use of RFID technology in waste management is already a real issue.

Automatic identification and data capture of municipal waste containers emptying process can provide very useful information. Such information is important both for the customer who can be sure that he pays for the real services, as well as for the service providers, allowing them to easily and reliably prove the contractual service of the collection and treatment of waste. This article deals with the application of RFID technology to identify the time and place of containers with municipal waste emptying and the benefits of the system based on this principle.
