As banks aim to further resonate with consumers, they are ramping up their efforts to use sustainable payment card materials that appeal to eco-conscious customers. As pointed out in the blog post, Alternative Card Materials for Sustainable Banking, the payments industry has four primary green materials to choose from:

  • Recycled Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) 
  • Polyactid Acid (PLA)
  • Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PETG)
  • Reclaimed/Ocean Bound Plastic

As the forecast above showcases, rPVC is set to be the go-to sustainable material to replace traditional payment cards. By 2028, 2.5 billion rPVC payment cards will be in circulation worldwide.
