IDENTIFIERING AV ELEKTRONIKSKROT

Sammanfattning: This report is the result of a survey carried out by two students at Halmstad University. The study was conducted at the request of the recycling company, with the purpose to explore opportunities for streamlining the screening pro- cess of electronic waste products. The question that was asked was if RFID could be used for identification of the scrap. The project members started their work to investigate if RFID was the best identification method where the advantages and disadvantages of various automated systems were com- pared. The conclusion drawn was that RFID could be a viable solution in the future, provided that manufacturers of electronics integrate RFID tags into their products. Given that increasingly more producers are using RFID to locate and identify their products during production and the falling price of passive tags, it is possible that labeling products with RFID tags could become a standard, both for more efficient logistics and a more efficient re- cycling process.
