Paper RFID Tag

A method to produce RFID tags entirely from paper, with no metal or silicon components needed, all to tackle the waste from disposable electronics. With the support of a startup PulpaTronics, they've designed a chipless, fully paper-based Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) tag.

Do you know those electronic trackers stuck on products commonly found in clothing stores? Traditional RFID tags churn out a whopping 18 billion each year, a serious case of "overdesign." Forget the typical ones with chips and antennas embedded in a mix of paper, metal, and silicon that end up in landfills. This RFID tag design relies solely on paper.
