You thought that Wal-Mart was using RFID to just get its business straight and improve its financial health then you are simply wrong as the retailer is also using this technology to make this world a better place to live. By bringing down the error rates Wal-Mart plans to reduce any unnecessary truck deliveries and even frequent trips of customers to their stores by keeping their stocks up to date. A whopping twenty four million customers visit their stores everyday and even if around 100,000 unnecessary trips are avoided by keeping the stocks up to date a lot of pollution in the air could be avoided by bringing down the emission rates.

The retailer is even looking to use RFID for reducing waste stream for electronic goods and the company is a part of the group looking for grant with the Environmental Protection Agency so that RFID could be used for benefiting the environment around us.

This is an appreciable step by Wal-Mart to take care of planet earthlinks by using RFID besides ensuring its financial well being. The popularization of RFID as an environment friendly tool by Wal-Mart can surely give the needed push to this technology. Now RFID can be marketed as a green technology.
