Green Supply Chains and Enabling RFID Technology

Abstract

This chapter is proposing an empirical study to examine RFID sectors or businesses personal use of such technologies, especially with green of eco-friendly applications. For example, the Green Clean Institute defines this strategy as an attempt to promote the manufacturing of green products and services and using green business practices. This strategy hopes to accomplish products and services that cause no immediate, residual, or long-term harm to the environment. However, due to increased competitiveness and shorter product life cycles more and more attention is being paid to a reduction of resource usage and environmental protection. This chapter is meant to discuss the current and future practices of GSC management and how RFID can be incorporated into the business as a green, environmentally conscious enabler.
