ASK C.ticket® the worldwide known contactless paper tickets range, expands with SRT512 and SRI 2K chips, a 512 bits ISO 14443 type B chip and a 2 Kbits ISO 14443 type B chip.
These two different memory size chips enhance C.ticket® application possibilities in access control or multi-application and offer mass transit operators using ISO14443 type B contactless smart cards new applications for occasional users.
C.ticket® is part of the ASK global sustainable development policy. All limited used tickets are based on the same environment-friendly technology of silver ink ROHS printed antennas on paper and die chip. C.ticket® uses FSC "Forest Stewardship Council" paper contributing to conservation, responsible management, and community level benefits for people near the forests that provide this paper. The silver ink antenna and paper are recycled and production waste sent to a non-polluting dedicated factory. The additive process of printing only the antenna design on the substrate uses less raw material than copper-etching whereas no chemical process is required to print the antenna.
Less raw material, plastic free products, a full recycling process for ASK and its clients’ wastes make C.ticket® definitely an asset for a high technology contactless product delivered by millions around the world. ASK contactless paper tickets contribute to reduce wastes generated by Fare Collection systems.
