PulpaTronics develops more sustainable RFID tags, which are used for item tracking and inventory management. Our alternative combines novel technologies to create paper-only RFID tags that do not require an antenna or a microchip, eliminating metal mining, streamlining manufacturing and reducing environmental impact. Our RFID tags are recyclable and significantly cheaper than current tags. PulpaTronics makes the technology more accessible, helps retailers achieve their sustainability goals, while empowering customers to confidently dispose of RFID tags and make more conscious decisions.
