Using RFID technology, consumers can scan products
and access information about a product, such as:
- its carbon footprint (CO2 production)
- other waste/pollution produced
- how far it traveled to reach the place of purchase
- what percentage of recycled products are used in the manufacturing
process
- how this product will be disposed of/recycled
- the environmental policy of the manufacturer
Web pages are colour coded to allow for easy identification of “greener” products
The webpages contain links to further pages with different levels of information. For example, a plastic bottle may contain 20% plastic recycled. The consumer can then access information about the recycled materials and the process of their production
