What is sustainability
Sustainability is based on a simple principle: Everything that
we need for our survival and well-being depends, either
directly or indirectly, on our natural environment.
Sustainability creates and maintains the conditions under
which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony,
that permit fulfilling the social, economic and other
requirements of present and future generations.

Importance
Sustainability is important to making sure that we have and
will continue to have, the water, materials, and resources to
protect human health and our environment.

How to obtain sustainability?
1. Waste production: minimize the amount of waste produced
during manufacturing process
2. Material management : use and reuse material in the most
productive and sustainable way across their entire life cycle
3. Pollution prevention: reduce or eliminate waste at the source
by modifying production processes, promote the use of
reusable materials
4. Product enhancement: create better products that have longer
lifetime to ensure less trash for environment.

Our project
By using RFID technology, we reduce the antenna size which
means we reduce the material cost.
For most of the part, we use computer to do the simulation
first then the fabrication.
To maximize the material efficiency, we are going to use 3-D
printing technology to rebuild the marker
* Use copper tape instead of copper
