Abstract

An information system concept with a Web interface is proposed for integrating recycle chain managements. In this paper, recycled items are consistently numbered by using RF-ID tags individually. Tag ID is directly read in each recycle chain and is sent to an integrative management system which is designed to be opened to retail shops or recycling manufactures through the integrative Web interface. Gathered information is stored in a database of the system and is used to make reports to corresponding recycling law or so. Thus efficient and inexpensive information management for recycled items can be realized.
