Can/US Enviro-Energy, a logistics and engineering firm based in Montréal, with facilities in Champlain, NY, is using RFID technology to manage the mandatory recycling process of stationary batteries as well as uninterruptible power supply (UPS) equipment and direct current power systems for telecom applications and utilities' organisations. The company enlisted the assistance of Academia RFID to study its processes, build the business case and deliver a feasibility report for the use of RFID technology. Since early 2008, based on the results of a 3 month pilot, the company has included RFID technology in its battery replacement and recycling process, allowing its customers to be alerted as soon as their batteries have been accepted by their destined recycling stations. This real-time capability allows customers to immediately apply for return credits, receive an e-document attesting to its receipt (legally required) and assure that the battery will be properly recycled.
