are concerned about plastic waste in landfills
CPI consumer insights fielded November 2022 n2100
The rPVC card product is an economical, eco-focused option that makes an ideal entry-point for financial institutions looking to appeal to environmentally-conscious consumers. Substituting traditional PVC with a recycled option represents a reduction in first-use plastic and extends the useful life of plastic waste that otherwise may have gone directly to a landfill.
CPI estimates that for every one million Second Wave® payment cards produced, over one ton of plastic will be diverted from entering the world’s oceans, waterways and shorelines.
Adopting dual interface chip and antenna technology can be a compelling reason
to shift to eco-focused card materials and combine efforts into one initiative.
CPI developed a portfolio of eco-focused card products featuring upcycled materials to reduce the use of first-use plastic in the card’s construction.
Leading the way towards a more environmentally-friendly future for payments, CPI offers upcycled material options and can help you decide which material is best suited for your debit or credit card program. Carry your sustainability mission through to your carriers and collateral. We can help with recycled options for companion materials.
CPI was the first company to become a licensee of the ICMA EcoLabel Standard Program, created by the International Card Manufacturers Association (ICMA), to recognize card manufacturer members for their commitment to sustainability and for specific card products that meet program requirements. The program establishes measurable criteria for assessing the environmental impact of transaction and identification cards for the purpose of ICMA EcoLabel Standard Program certification.
All of CPIs eco-focused products have achieved certification under the ICMA EcoLabel Standard Program.
