I would support Vardharajan statement that RFID gives visibility of the product at anty point of time . Its just like DHL  Tracking its couriers through radiofrequency detectors  where one can see the exact status of the packet at any point  of time . this can give directions  to make the product to be  available at the least amount of time the ideal critical path . This  also helps us to find the best logistics , bestpackaging and the least amount of road miles travelled with would reduce the carbon footprint . We can also look at lesser packaging so that there is less material sent to landfill .Utimately Grren supplu chain = Profitability = competitive advantage of the company . But I would like to reiterate that it deopends on the industry

RFID will definitely help in green supply chain - green supply chains strive to reduce environmental degradation resulting from activities performed to suppor the supply chain functions. RFID is a tool that helps track inventory from its point of origin till goes into the hands of the customer. This allows efficient tracking of inventory and its timely replenishment. In short it improves visibility in the supply chain. increased visibility leads to reduced consumption of fuel, electricity etc. and hence use RFID will contribute to reduction in environmental degradation.
