Abstract

Abstract Reusable packaging has been used as a case study for development of durable and sustainable smart tags that can provide both identity management and potentially also condition monitoring capabilities. Four different smart tag technologies have been investigated, including laser engraved 2D bar codes, printed 2D bar codes with combined temperature indicator, printed NFC (Near‐Field Communication) tags and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags as labels. All technologies showed excellent durability towards repeated washing and heating when protective layers were used. SWOT analysis was also carried out to weight the advantages and disadvantages of the different technologies summarizing the choice of the technology per use and end‐of‐life requirements. Sustainability of the investigated technologies is discussed from the smart tag recyclability perspective and the challenges that can be seen related to the use of electronic functionalities and/or plastic‐based protective layers.

用于身份管理和状态监测的耐用和可持续智能标签:可重复使用包装和可回收数据载体的案例研究

摘要:可重复使用的包装已被用作开发耐用和可持续的智能标签的案例研究，可以提供身份管理和潜在的状态监测功能。研究人员研究了四种不同的智能标签技术，包括激光雕刻二维条形码、打印带有组合温度指示器的二维条形码、打印NFC(近场通信)标签和RFID(射频识别)标签作为标签。当使用保护层时，所有技术对反复洗涤和加热都表现出优异的耐久性。还进行了SWOT分析，以衡量不同技术的优缺点，总结了每次使用技术的选择和寿命结束要求。从智能标签可回收性的角度讨论了所研究技术的可持续性，以及与电子功能和/或基于塑料的保护层的使用相关的挑战。
