RFID Plug Tags for Plastic Waste Bin Tracking
Plug Tag transponders provide a rugged and cost-effective solution for tracking residential, commercial, and industrial waste bins using low-frequency RFID technology. Designed to insert seamlessly into standard bin designs, these tags enable accurate and automated data capture, supporting pay-as-you-throw billing, recycling incentive programs, and improved route planning—all while eliminating the inefficiencies of manual data entry.
Key Features
Secure & Tamper-Resistant: Inserts into pre-drilled bin holes and locks into place with a ridged shaft design to prevent loss or tampering.
Built for Harsh Conditions: Operates in environments ranging from –20°C to +85°C; fully waterproof (IP68) and resistant to shock and vibration.
Reliable Read Performance: Ensures consistent readability even in waste handling and high-impact scenarios. Compact Form Factor: Designed to be unobtrusive, fitting within the structure of the bin without interfering with operations.

Types of Material
PA6 with PUR potting
PA6 (Polyamide 6), commonly known as Nylon 6, is a strong, durable thermoplastic known for its excellent mechanical properties, wear resistance, and toughness. It performs well under high stress and in harsh environments, making it ideal for industrial RFID tag housings. PUR (Polyurethane) potting is used to encapsulate and protect the internal components of RFID tags from moisture, dust, shock, and vibration. This combination ensures the tag remains operational in extreme conditions such as exposure to chemicals, temperature fluctuations, and physical impact, making PA6 with PUR potting a reliable choice for rugged and outdoor RFID applications like waste management, logistics, and asset tracking.
Types of Detailing on Labels/Tags
Logo Printing
Enhance your brand visibility with custom logo printing available on both the front and back of the labels, ensuring a professional and recognizable design for all your products.
Sequential Numbering
Add unique sequential numbers on the label or release paper for accurate tracking, identification, and enhanced operational efficiency.
Encoding Data
Securely encode essential information directly onto the label, allowing for quick access and accurate tracking of product details, inventory, and more.
