From whatever angle you are looking at it, plastic cards are harmful for the environment. Obviously through the years, the card production, the printing process and the processing of the residual products have improved. And as a result of this, the cards we are using today are more environmental friendly. Lotsa Lanyards has a number of environmentally friendlier alternatives for PVC. These materials are available for a small additional cost, and just like the standard cards without a minimum amount of purchase.
PLA (Corn Cards)
PLA stands for Poly Lactic Acid, or Bio cards. They are cards extracted from corn or starch, making them an excellent environmentally friendly alternative for the standard PVC cards. The PLA cards are 100% bio degradable, and produce no toxin when disposed. The Lotsa Group can offer you all the accessories like Magnetic stripes, signature panels, hot stamp etc for PLA cards.
In the United States PLA cards are a huge hit, and large environmentally conscious companies or political parties use PLA for their membership or gift cards. Lotsa Lanyards is one of the first card suppliers based in China to offer this material and have been able to offer this product against affordable prices.
PET
PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) is a good alternative for the standard PVC cards. These cards have a long life span (4 to 5 years) and are less harmful on the environment.
PETG
PETG (Polyethylene terephthalate glycol) is an even better alternative for PVC cards. These cards have an average life span of about 6 to 7 years en are even less harm full for the environment as the standard PET cards.
Lotsa Lanyards is also able to provide other environmentally friendlier cards, like for example cards made with recycled PVC. Please note that for this item there is a minimum order of 50.000 cards, and the lead time will be slightly longer.
