SIVA IoT Launches EndurWave™ Pro: Microwave Safe RFID Label

Microwave-Safe, Washable RFID Labels for Food Packaging RTIs

Reusable food packaging is transforming how the food industry manages logistics and sustainability. From ready-meal trays to returnable containers used in commercial kitchens, these items must endure repeated microwave heating and high-temperature dishwashing cycles. 

Conventional RFID labels tend to fail when exposed to the combination of moisture, microwave, and detergents. Adhesives weaken, substrates deform, and the inlay’s delicate electronics can be compromised. which leads to data loss, inconsistent reads, and costly replacements—breaking the very efficiency RFID systems promise. 

SIVA’s EndurWave™ Pro has been engineered precisely for this challenge. Designed for returnable and reusable food packaging (RFPs), this industrial-grade UHF RFID label withstands repeated microwave exposure and dishwashing cycles while maintaining reliable read performance and inlay integrity. 

By combining robust material engineering with advanced antenna design, EndurWave™ Pro offers a dependable solution that performs consistently through multiple use cycles—helping brands, logistics providers, and food packaging systems embrace circularity without compromising traceability.

Why it Matters?  

The EndurWave™ Pro label is a key enabler of reusable and circular packaging ecosystems—helping food producers, logistics operators, and hospitality sectors move toward sustainability without losing visibility or control. 

• Ready-Meal Packaging: Enables direct microwave heating without label removal, improving convenience and ensuring continuous traceability through consumer use. 

• Reusable Trays and Containers: Withstands frequent cleaning and heating cycles in industrial kitchens, catering systems, and institutional food services, where packaging reuse is central to cost and waste reduction. 

• Returnable Transport Items (RTIs): Enhances asset tracking efficiency and durability in closed-loop logistics systems. 

• Food Delivery and Smart Vending: Ideal for intelligent meal-tracking applications where packaging undergoes heating before serving. 

By maintaining RFID performance through these demanding cycles, EndurWave™ Pro reduces re-labeling costs and downtime, extending the operational life of each asset. 

Key Features 

• Designed to withstand repeated dishwasher and microwave cycles 

• Performs reliably from sub-zero to high temperatures 

• Optimized for plastic, glass and ceramic containers 

• Compatible for printing and encoding using most industrial grade thermal transfer UHF printers 

SIVA’s EndurWave™ Pro aligns with the global push toward sustainable, circular business models. As reusable packaging becomes standard practice across food and hospitality industries, RFID solutions must match this durability. EndurWave™ Pro bridges that gap—ensuring reliable identification and lifecycle traceability through every wash, heat, and reuse. 

By offering high mechanical strength, stable RF performance, and proven endurance, it empowers brands and logistics operators to confidently adopt sustainable packaging strategies without compromising on performance or safety. 

Whether used in returnable meal trays, smart kitchen systems, or automated food logistics, EndurWave™ Pro ensures that sustainability and technology work hand in hand—helping businesses build smarter, safer, and more circular food packaging containers.
