ABSTRACT:
Products are delivered to customers using reusable containers. The reusable containers are equipped with a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag that is used by the vendor or deliverer to track whether the reusable container has been returned to the vendor or deliverer. The user can be credited with a deposit if he or she returns the container. The RFID can also be used to track the contents of a truck load or pallet load of containers.
