PulpaTronics shares details on fully recyclable, paper-based RFID tags

Startup PulpaTronics has found a unique way to make RFID a more sustainable strategy.

At the AIPIA & AWA Smart Packaging World Congress in Amsterdam, Chloe So, co-founder and CEO of the company discussed the significant waste resulting from current-day RFID solutions.

PulpaTronics has developed fully chip-less and metal-free smart tags made from paper that cut CO2 emissions by 70%  as well as brings down the cost by two times versus standard metal tags.

The technology involves using laser technology to induce a conducive circuitry directly from the substrate.

The process results in tags that are recyclable through existing systems 'for a more circular economy'
