♻️ Recycle NFC Chip

Reuse older NFC chips with your dog profiles

⚠️ Important: This will erase ALL existing data on the NFC chip. Make sure you're not erasing something valuable!

✅ Compatible Chip Types

Web NFC supports these NDEF-compatible chips:

NTAG Series: NTAG213, NTAG215, NTAG216 (most common)
NTAG203: Older but still works great
MIFARE Ultralight: EV1, C, and original
MIFARE DESFire: When configured for NDEF
Topaz/Jewel: NDEF compatible variants
FeliCa: NDEF compatible models

Step 2: Choose Recycle Method

🧹 Format & Clear (Recommended)

Safely clears all data and prepares chip for reuse. Best for most chips.

📝 Force Overwrite

Writes new data without clearing first. Good for stubborn chips with write protection.

💣 Deep Clean (Nuke)

Most aggressive method. Use only if other methods fail. May take longer.

💡 Pro Tip: If you're recycling a chip from a business card, hotel key, or old device, use "Force Overwrite" first. If that doesn't work, try "Deep Clean."
