If RFID tags are comolded into plastics, as is already done with many products, the plastic can be separated from the recycle materials and fed back, most likely to the original manufacturer. This just needs the will to implement it. It just happens to help retailers as well, since RFIDing all products makes things like mass purchase work (passing a cart by a reader to purchase).

@AxMi-24 ok. But I don't see that as either/or. Look if you're a thinking person this is not a simple thing. I try to recycle everything with a triangle on it, but they don't (in California) want to do just dump dirty plastics into the recycle bin. So over to the sink it goes. So fine, I recycle plastics, but I am wasting water, a no-no in California. We need to try different solutions. A lot of plastics are already RFIDed, and we don't have any solutions to the mixed plastics problem". So lets try the solution about reducing the different kinds of plastics. Lets try marking plastics. I don't use disposable water bottles, but here in California, everyone and their dog uses them, even people who call themselves "green". IE., lets try stuff out and not just shoot down other peoples solutions.
