| Abstract: | The potential RFID (radio frequency identification device) for improving the current waste and resource management system in Switzerland is studied here. The following three possible options are presented for utilizing RFID tags to support waste management processes: "at source automation" (using a "smart" trash can), "end of pipe I" (combination of the current system with an additional separation of recyclabels before incineration) and "end of pipe II" (replacement of the current recycling infrastructure by sorting at the incineration plant). |
