Rugged RFID Bin Tags for Waste Management
Rugged RFID Bin Tags are purpose-built transponders designed to streamline and automate waste collection processes, supporting pay-as-you-throw, recycling incentive programs, and route optimization. Utilizing passive RFID technology, these tags provide accurate data collection without manual input, improving invoicing precision and service accountability in waste management operations. Constructed to withstand demanding outdoor conditions, each Bin Tag features high resistance to water, salt mist, oil, petroleum, and physical impact. They are engineered for easy installation into standard DIN 30745 nests found on most plastic and metal waste bins. These tags offer tamper-resistant designs with a unique four-cavity spanner screw, deterring unauthorized removal in the field. Available in LF, HF, and RAIN® UHF formats, the tags ensure broad compatibility with global RFID standards, providing exceptional read performance whether mounted on plastic or optimized for metal surfaces.

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.
