Board

Eco PVC
Not all plastics are equal in their environmental impact, Ecocard offers an alternative to PVC based plastic cards
Ecocard is specialist plastic material developed for plastic cards. Ecocard plastic is based on polypropylene, this has several significant environmental advantages over PVC.
ABS
ABS plastic is a thermoplastic and amorphous polymer, made up of three monomers called Acrylonitrile, Butadiene, Styrene.
Heard of LEGO? ABS is the material it is made from, tougher than PVC and harder waring you'll not find a better option for a membership or library card on the market!
Recycled PVC
Recycled PVC made from off cuts and waste plastic. We are not creating more plastic which means we are not creating/using any more chemicals.
Recycled PVC cards are again the most cost-effective product compared to a standard PVC card, you do not have any restrictions when using recycled PVC, for example, you can have a chip, Magstripe & barcode on this material.
Wooden Cards
Wooden Cards are the most sustainably source material on the market.
Wooden Cards are gaining in popularity each day. Reducing your carbon footprint by up to 50% as well as being as durable and reusable they are a worthy opponent against any PVC card.
