Also , as each item can be uniquely identified and the consumer can be given location-specific information about recycling the packaging waste , improving the chances of recovery rather than landfill .
“ PragmatIC ’ s flexible integrated circuits ( FlexICs ) are poised to bring intelligence at a cost point orders of magnitude lower than possible with traditional silicon integrated circuits ( ICs ), making it feasible to integrate inlays into potentially trillions of consumer products ”
