Sustainable Card
A Sustainable Card refers to a card that is designed, manufactured, and managed with a focus on reducing its environmental and social impact. It’s part of a growing trend in financial services towards ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles.
Why Choose a Sustainable Card?
-
Reduce Plastic Waste: Directly prevents plastic bottles from entering landfills or oceans.
-
Lower Carbon Footprint: Supports a lower-emission product lifecycle and funds carbon offset projects.
-
Align Spending with Values: Allows consumers to make their everyday financial activity contribute to environmental causes.
-
Drive Industry Change: Consumer demand for these products pushes the entire financial sector towards more sustainable practices.
PLA Card (Polylactic Acid)
Biobased & Renewable: Sourced from annually renewable plants, reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
Reduced Carbon Footprint: The manufacturing process of PLA generates significantly fewer greenhouse gases compared to PVC.
Industrial Compostable: Under the right conditions (high temperature and humidity in a commercial facility), the card body can break down into compost.
Full RFID Functionality: Compatible with LF (125kHz) and HF (13.56MHz) RFID inlays, offering the same performance as conventional cards.
Smooth Printing Surface: Excellent for high-quality printing with eco-friendly inks, perfect for branding your sustainable initiative.
Key Features
Made from Polylactic Acid (PLA), a biodegradable and compostable bioplastic derived from renewable resources (e.g., corn starch, sugarcane, or cassava). Significantly reduces reliance on petroleum-based plastics (like PVC) and lowers carbon footprint.

PET Card
PET stands for polyethylene terephthalate, which is a plastic resin and form of polyester.
PET cards are made up of a combination of PVC and polyester that’s highly durable and heat-resistant.
Typically made of 40% PET materials and 60% PVC, Composite PVC-PET cards are constructed to be stronger and to withstand high heat settings, whether you laminate or print with retransfer ID card printers.
OEM/ODM Services: Customized designs, sizes, thicknesses
Personalized Customization: UV printing, embossing, magnetic stripes, RFID embedding, barcodes, QR codes, etc.
PET is a desirable fuel for Waste-to-energy plants, as it has a high calorific value which helps to reduce the use of primary resources for energy generation.
PETG Card
PETG sustainable card is a polyester obtained by copolymerization modification of polyacid polyol. PETG material is briefly a transparent plastic.
Advantages of PETG sustainable card
High transparency, high gloss, scratch resistance, anti-aging resistance, anti-static, chemical resistance, hydrolysis resistance, good fluidity, strong tinting strength, easy molding processing, good sanitation (conforms to FDA).
The environmental protection of PETG is due to its degradability, and the chemical elements contained in it are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen like paper. After the products made of this material are discarded, they will eventually become water and carbon dioxide.
