Fraunhofer RFID Tags Track Timber

Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute researchers develop a wood-based RFID tag for timber-tracking applications.

The RFID transponder is synthesized from paper and lignin integrated with an antenna.

The identification data is read as trucks pass through portal-based readers.

Each RFID tag provides data about the wood origin, quantity, wood type and its destination.  …

…   “They created inexpensive small RFID responders out of paper and lignin connected to an antenna. “   …
