We have chosen a new core material to reduce the amount of virgin plastic and PVC used in our cards.
Our new cards are made of 84% plant-based material (PLA). PLA is a biosourced and compostable plastic made from plant sugars and maize. This specific type of maize is not suitable for food, and is specifically grown to be used in food packaging, plastic utensils and other products. The remaining 16% consists of other essential parts, such as the chip, antenna for contactless payments, magnetic stripe and a layer of PVC laminate for durability.
