A wireless tracking system for tracking and monitoring assets is disclosed herein. The wireless tracking system comprises wireless tags. A wireless tag is configured to track a respective asset during delivery to a shipping address. After the asset has arrived at the shipping address, the wireless tag is released to a delivery service to be delivered to the return address for recycling or renovating an electronic component of the wireless tag, e.g., by wired or wirelessly recharging the energy source. In some embodiments, the wireless tracking system remotely monitors a performance level of the energy source via a wireless communication with the wireless tag and, responsive to the performance level of the energy source being below a threshold level, transmits a notification to a user of the wireless tracking system to ship the wireless tag to the return address for renovation or recycling.
