Study on sustainability and life cycle assessment of RFID antenna

摘要

This work gives a unique insight into evaluating sustainability, life cycle assessment and environmental emissions of the specified RFID tag antenna that validates the potential for ultra-low cost mass production for green electronics. We have designed a printed RFID antenna that employs commercially available paper substrates, and has capability to endure itself at varying environmental effects. The geometry and dimension of the antenna has been set as per requirement of read range of RFID tag. The environmental emissions profiles global warming, acidification potential, ozone layer depletion and human toxicity potentials are illustrated in this paper.
