New eco electronic NFC bag tag product available to buy!
We’re very pleased to the first usable prototype electronic bag tag from vayakora!
We have been testing this for some time to make sure that it works.
This product is hand made in Moruya, NSW, Australia. Its three layer core construction is made from natural flax, bamboo and cork materials so it is biodegradable and thus designed to decompose (well ok not the chip inside but you can’t have everything can you, since compostable electronics is not yet a thing). Plus it comes from a zero waste household.
The loop component is made from viton, a very durable (and expensive) fluoroelastomer polymeric material which will not degrade or break easily like normal rubber. We don’t want your bag tag separating from your bag, right? This product is designed to last as long as possible, reduce the use of our reliance on plastic while still being mostly eco.
Using and modern NFC-enabled smartphone, you can program the embedded NFC chip with your preferred contact details such as your name, number, email or website. Then, if your bag gets lost or misplaced, whoever finds it can simply tap this with any modern NFC enabled smartphone to find out who it belongs to. Easy! This way, no one can read where you live while standing next to you in the queue at the airport!
At the moment there is a choice of either beige or black with either a green or brown loop strap
(black loop straps will be available in a few months’ time)
We may just submit this one as a contender for the next red dot design awards…
