Plastic cards have a wide range of applications and they have become a significant part of our ecosystem. Major industries such as transportation, hospitality, factories, supermarkets, water-parks, and enterprises are all using plastic cards for various purposes.

However, the billions of cards we print every year are not environmentally friendly. This is a huge deal breaker. Most of these cards end up in the bin within a week. As we all know, this is not good at all for the environment. In order protect the environment, we supply two kinds of environmental plastic card.

1. PLA card

Corn or PLA (poly lactic acid) cards are extracted from corn and are an excellent alternative for environmentally conscious organizations and individuals. Aside from the renewable nature of corn, corn cards require far less energy in production and produce less green house gas than the common petroleum based alternative of PVC. Corn cards are biodegrable and produce no toxins when destroyed during incineration, the ground and atmospheric based environmental advantages of corn cards are significant. The durability, life span and printing of the corn cards is very similar to PVC cards.

2. PETG card

PETG ( Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol ) is one of the most environmentally friendly to produce plastic cards and PETG has been wildly used for leading plastic card retailers and credit cards. It exhibits the same characteristics as PVC plastic cards. PETG cards can be recycled without creating any harmful gases or even polluting the environment. Reasons for using PETG for plastic cards; a wide range of innovations and tailor-made specifications thanks to the co-extrusion process, high mechanical strength and excellent flex tests with PETG and the wide spectrum of card applications can be made. Finally and more important are ecological considerations since PETG is environmentally friendly.
