Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has established itself as an effective tool for identifying various objects in all human and business areas. There are many studies describing the use of this technology. However, scientific articles only marginally address the issue of recycling or reusing radio frequency identifiers. Radio frequency identifiers are defined as electronic waste by European Union legislation. This article deals with the environmental burden resulting from the use of radio frequency identifiers in a selected logistics centre and courier company in the Slovak and Czech Republic territories. The research and its relevance have become topical in the context of pandemics and with the increasing demand for products and courier services. In order to access the level of the above-mentioned environmental burden in a relevant way, an analysis of the circulation of transport units (pallets) and radio frequency identifiers in the selected logistics centre was carried out. The research results showed that the selected logistics centre generated annually 5.7 t of the e-waste from radio frequency identifiers placed on received pallets. The amount of 139 kg of metal was present in the e-waste quantity. The partial results of the research were applied to the e-commerce area. This article’s conclusion is dedicated to the characterization of possibilities of reducing the environmental burden from the use of radio frequency identifiers in logistics.

Passive Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) has been used to monitor landslide displacement since approximately 5 years. This method allows soil displacement estimation at a high spatio-temporal resolution, and at a relatively low cost. In perspective of the previous years, this paper proposes to summarize the various challenges encountered with the longterm outdoor RFID localization method, and presents solutions that were implemented to overcome these challenges. Finally, displacement results from three monitored sites are shown in order to validate the implemented solutions.

“…Notably in outdoors scenarios, long-term RFID monitoring (months to years) in complex environments that generate high measurement noise, is a current and growing research field. In diverse application domains such as infrastructure monitoring [7], agricultural monitoring [8], [9], social insects behavior monitoring [10], ice formation [11] or snow depth monitoring [12], and of course earth surface processes monitoring [1], robust and synthetic RFID information is needed to ensure optimal data continuity and exploitation. Although not focused on displacement monitoring, these applications would clearly benefit from a data availability increase.…”

“…experiments [13]- [21]. In real-life scenarios such as retail environments [2] or outdoor landslide monitoring [1], [22], the acquired data is inevitably noisier and intermittent. At the same time, RFID generally yields abundant and redundant data that can enhance the data from each tag [23], [24].…”

<p>Localization of passive Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) tags has been used to monitor landslide surface displacement since 5 years. This method, applied on slow displacements lower than 1cm per day, allows a high spatiotemporal resolution at a relatively low cost. With the feedback of the previous years, this paper proposes to summarize the various challenges encountered with the long-term outdoor RFID localization method, and presents data-processing solutions that were implemented to overcome these challenges. We propose a complex-smoothing unwrapping algorithm, a multi-frequency merging operation, as well as multi-tag and multi-antenna phase combining method. The concept of an unwrapping reference guide is presented and applied with groups of tags showing coherent displacements, or with absolute reference measurements. These approaches allow a higher data availability up to 38% for one site over multiple years, and a better phase unwrapping. Earth surface displacement monitoring with RFID proves to be a robust and accurate solution, with four equipped sites across France and Switzerland.</p>
