White Paper: WG Green Tag - Source Tagging Leadership

Vendor source tag recycling is the process in which a retailer contracts with an EAS tag vendor to operate a reusable hard tag recycling program. This program enables a retailer to enjoy the benefits of EAS source tagging – i.e., deterrence to theft, lower shrink, and faster time-to-sales-floor – without using capital to purchase tags or incurring the ongoing labor expense of in-store tagging. As with other sustainable programs, tag recycling provides both eco-friendly benefits and enables retailers to strengthen their image as responsible corporate citizens.
