Abstract
Four environmental applications of radiofrequency identification tags are discussed: (1) reduction of traffic congestions through RFID-enabled congestion pricing; (2) rewards for recycling using RFID transponders on curbside recycling bins; (3) environmental information about products accessed through consumer cell-phones or PDAs; and (4) use of RFID tags on products to make recycling and reuse easier. In addition, environmental drawbacks of RFID are discussed, as well as options for resolving these drawbacks.
