Eco-Friendly Plastic Cards

Put sustainability at the top of your agenda and help reduce your environmental impact by using our range of high-quality eco-friendly plastic cards. Our 2020 range includes biodegradable plastic cards, recycled plastic cards, 100% PVC-free cards and paper cards – all of which help cut down on plastic usage and diverting waste from landfill.

All these eco-friendly cards have been tested by our experts to ensure there is no compromise to the quality of your printed plastic cards. They can be used to create ID cards, membership cards, loyalty cards, gift cards and more.

Biodegradable cards

Biodegradable cards contain chemicals allowing the plastic to break down in between one and five years – far reducing the amount of time traditional PVC sticks around if it is not recycled. Provided these cards enter the correct recycling stream at the end of life, they are a great green alternative to traditional plastic cards.

Recycled PVC cards

Recycled cards are made from recycled PET which makes up 50% of the card, actively diverting plastic from ending up in landfill. It’s an effective way of reducing single-use plastic dramatically when printing ID cards and is the most affordable green option.

100% PVC-free cards

100% PVC-free cards are made up of a chalk-based core (80%) combined with an outer overlay made from PETG. This means print quality is exactly the same as before and are a sustainable way of eliminating PVC plastics in ID issuance systems.

Paper cards

These cards are made from 87% paper and 13% OPP (Oriented Polypropylene) making them 100% recyclable. They are a great way to demonstrate your commitment to the environment when creating single-use ID for events.
