When waste management depends on manual processes, traceability is lost from origin to destination. Organic recycling operators, WEEE, multi-material sorting plants, and managers of reusable industrial packaging within circular economy programmes need digital tools to control processes, meet regulatory requirements, and improve efficiency across waste and packaging operations.
Automatización de procesos logísticos y productivos, elimina procesos manuales.
Reduce unaccounted-for loss of reusable industrial packaging.
Real-time, unit-level traceability for regulatory compliance.
For organic waste and WEEE managers, multi-material sorting plants and SCRAP / returnable packaging operatorsthe challenge is to turn manual operations (routes, receiving, weighing, sorting, washing and dispatch) into reliable events to support the circular economy..
Without unit-level control, operational errors and a lack of evidence appear. With RFID, you automate status changes and get verifiable, real-time data.
The challenge: Dispatch processes by truck or at the dock, the receiving of goods by truck or at the dock, truck weigh-ins (containers or individual containers), tipping and cleaning are all usually controlled manually. This leads to errors and lower productivity, and in many cases these steps are skipped due to lack of resources, creating a critical lack of verifiable records.
With RFID, you get unit-level control per asset assign ownership and automate the control of dispatch and receiving, weigh-ins on the plant weighbridge, on the truck, or per container, as well as tipping control, inventory updates and cleaning certification.
Certifying washing, reconditioning, maintenance and end-of-life with manual records leads to errors and incidents.
With RFID, you automate control of wash cycles for reusable industrial packaging and record maintenance and reconditioning at unit level in real time,reducing returns and non-conformities.
Without unit-level control of reusable industrial packaging, it is difficult to verify and demonstrate the quality of packaging supplied by each provider.
With RFID, you get objective, real-time data on how each provider’s containers perform, enabling purchasing decisions based on reliable unit-level information.
Without unit-level control, possession of the packaging becomes unclear across stakeholders, and unaccounted-for losses appear, forcing you to increase your industrial container pool above what you actually need.
With RFID, you simplify and automate the management of returnable packaging, assigning accountability at every delivery and collection and eliminating unknown losses.
Compliance with waste regulations (Spanish Royal Decree 1055/2022 and Regulation (EU) 2025/40) requires traceability of reusable industrial packaging across the chain of custody, identifying the current asset holder at all times.
With RFID, you can certify origin-to-destination traceability in both closed-loop and open-loop flows (the latter are more complex), simplifying identification of the different holders of the packaging across the supply chain.
TAGTIO’s solutions for recycling plants are designed to integrate with your ERP, WMS, MES, etc., enabling phased deployment without disrupting your current processes or the way you work.
We design scalable, robust, low-maintenance architecturesbuilt for demanding recycling and circular economy environments.
TAGTIO’s RFID solutions are simple, quick to deploy and built for a rapid ROI.
Law 7/2022 promotes the circular economy and enables fees that reflect the real cost of the service, aligned with the “polluter pays“ principle. With RFID, you record per-container events with ID, date and weight; once integrated into ERP/GIS, these data provide verifiable evidence for audits and fair pay-as-you-throw (PAYT) billing. The EU Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC reinforces this principle, and Royal Decree 180/2015 on waste transfers requires robust traceability.
In a deposit return scheme (DRS), returns are tracked and off-channel use is discouraged; with RFID you can validate each return and close the loop. In industrial contexts, tracking IBCs links washing and delivery cycles to unit-level identification, helping you maintain custody of the asset and prevent unauthorized use-supporting circular economy goals and loss reduction.
