Forest-friendly tech
Although cork is not infinitely customizable as plastic, it is positively more natural. By adding NXP HF, NFC, and Impinj RAIN RFID UHF semiconductors, we can create an environmentally friendly digital ID card. It bends, floats and gives guests a touch-free experience in the finest sustainable hotels.
Cork offers great conductivity which ensures that the read range is unaffected and can also be customised to smaller shape sizes, such as the RFID tag on our greener wearable tech range.
