From whatever angle you look at it, plastic cards are harmful for the environment. Over the years, card production, the printing process and the processing of residual products have improved, and as a result the cards we use today are more environmentally friendly. The Lotsa Group 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 to standard PVC cards. PLA cards are 100% biodegradable and produce no toxin when disposed of. The Lotsa Group can offer you all the accessories like magnetic stripes, signature panels and hot stamp 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. The Lotsa Group is one of the first card suppliers based in China to offer this material and has been able to offer this product at affordable prices.
PET
PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is a good alternative to 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 to PVC cards. These cards have an average life span of about 6 to 7 years and are even less harmful for the environment than standard PET cards.
The Lotsa Group is also able to provide other environmentally friendlier cards, 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. Please contact our sales department for more information.
