“…In the proposed system, RFID tags play as the middleware connecting the wastes in the physical world with the software applications in the digital world. An integrated system was also developed using RFID to track the location of WEEE (Sun, Li, and Chao 2013). The tracking service is capable of tracking, reporting and integrating the status of WEEE parts across the product lifecycle.…”

“…In the manufacturing and distribution phases, an automatic tracing approach has been applied for years, and recently many companies used the RFID technology for tracing products from production to the final distribution (http://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/weee/pdf/faq.pdf; Decathlon, 2017; Gianni et al , 2017; Xia et al , 2015; Rudiger et al , 2012; Sun et al , 2013; Guin et al , 2016; Conti et al , 2011; Ritrovati et al , 2014; Zhang et al , 2016; https://ec.europa.eu/easme/en/news/advanced-technologies-tracing-waste-electrical-and-electronic-equipment). All the examples reported in http://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/weee/pdf/faq.pdf, Decathlon (2017), Gianni et al (2017), Xia et al (2015), Rudiger et al (2012), Sun et al (2013), Guin et al (2016), Conti et al (2011), Ritrovati et al (2014), Zhang et al (2016) and https://ec.europa.eu/easme/en/news/advanced-technologies-tracing-waste-electrical-and-electronic-equipment show not only the low cost of the RFID technology, but also the economic advantages given by the application of product tracing.…”

“…The technical feasibility of RFID in the context of WEEE recycling has been deeply investigated in Rudiger et al (2012) with a test installation on a pilot plant. The idea of using a cloud-based service coupled with a RFID-based tracking technology has been targeted by Sun et al (2013), who proposed a RFID-based WEEE tracking service specifically conceived and built to trace, integrate and report the data and status of WEEE part across their entire lifecycle.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe a system and a database structure for the tracing of the waste of electric and electronic equipment (WEEE) using radio-frequency identification tags. Design/methodology/approach The problems related to the management of WEEE and the international directives have been presented and analyzed. The authors propose a traceability system to extend the tracing in the reverse logistics. Findings The proposed systems allow a more efficient management of the reuse, repair and recycle phase of the products and components, thus reducing the disposal of the electric and electronic equipment. There are many possible positive impacts of the system. The authors investigate, in particular, the impact of the single component tracing on the disposal cost reduction and on the reliability improvement using reused components. Research limitations/implications The system has been tested in the production chain of a company that produces electronic equipment for elevators. Up to now, the results and impact are limited to the company. Practical implications The system has been applied in the management of reused components of a specific company. The immediate result was that the system allowed the redesign of the electronic product with a cost reduction and reliability improvement. Social implications The authors think that the proposed solution allows a step forward in the reduction of WEEE. Originality/value The database structure and the web application, used to track the entire working life of an electronic appliance, are original. Original is also the idea of tracing all the single components of the electronic products.
