“…In addition to the Energiewende energy plan, there is the Germany Renewable Energy Act, a very complex regulation that has been subject to numerous modifications, the last of which is from 2017. The aim, in line with what was also asserted by the previous authors, would seem to abound the form of FIT incentive, in favor of public auctions organized and monitored by the Federal Network Agency-Bundesnetzagentur [47].…”

Shifting from fossil to renewable energy sources is a major global challenge, and in this context, the European Union has promoted sustainable and environmentally friendly growth as early as the Maastricht Treaty of 1992. To date, European institutions have promulgated a series of environmental regulations and directives aimed at promoting and imposing adoption by member states of internal regulations. This paper is focused on Western Europe, and it explores, for each state under analysis, energy policies adopted, the results achieved and recommendations for the future growth of renewable energy. The results show that in countries where energy policy is not fragmented, the yield in renewable energies has been higher, and also in the states where more and various forms of subsidies are foreseen, growth seems to be greater. Finally, the paper provides useful recommendations and future policy implications for states that have not met the 2020 targets.

Tags on hazardous goods, such as household chemicals, will define the material, how, and where to dispose of these [113].

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology that enables communication between everyday life using different sensor actuators that work together to identify, capture, and distribute critical data from the planet. Massive machines and devices are therefore linked and communicate with them. The use of resources in this area presents new challenges for this technology. The goal was to find a green IoT that focuses on energy efficiency and IoT efficiency. Green IoT is an energy-efficient way to reduce or eliminate the greenhouse effect of current applications. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is one of the Green IoT and Master IoT components that identifies a person or entity in a high-frequency electromagnetic spectrum when combining electromagnetic or electrostatic couplings. If the predictions are also correct, energy use issues arise as active battery-powered RFID detection needs to be addressed by incorporating new solutions for Green IoT technology. Past studies and assessments have attempted to evaluate RFID technology and its functions. Unfortunately, however, they concentrated on a single RFID view of technique and technology. This paper examines holistically and systematically the impact of RFID applications on green IoT, focusing on three categories: the challenges, environmental consequences, and the benefits of green IoT RFID applications. The impacts, performance and safety of RFID IoT applications have been carefully described. The benefits and examples of RFID applications, including their key advantages and disadvantages, are also discussed. Overall, this paper highlights the potential efforts of RFID to address existing Green IoT issues.

“…Only dedicated equipment can erase and rewrite data. For example, the RFID tag implements multiple rewriting of tag information through wired contact or writes data information to the RFID tag in a non-contact manner through a dedicated device [15][16][17]. The rewritable ID card is generally a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) format card.…”

With the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology, two-dimensional (2D) barcodes are widely used in smart IoT applications as a perception portal. In industries with many circulations and testing links like traceability, since the existing 2D barcode cannot be changed once it is printed, it can only be replaced with more expensive radio frequency identification (RFID) labels or new 2D barcodes, causing a waste of human resources and costs. For better circulation efficiency and resource utilization, we propose a new design of the rewritable and sustainable 2D barcode based on the fault-tolerance mechanism. The ability to add new information in the 2D barcode can be achieved through data encryption and the insertion of a rewritable layer. It means the message of 2D barcodes could be changed, and increases the flexibility and liquidity of the 2D barcode application. Besides, the encoding and decoding method of the proposed 2D barcode is presented. Experimental results have illustrated the superiority of rewritable and sustainable 2D barcodes in the traceability of herbal medicine compared with the conventional 2D barcodes, and demonstrated the feasibility of the design. The findings show the potential for significant application in the field of traceability in smart IoT, as well as in the manufacturing industry and logistics.
