PVC vs. Steel: The Environmental Impact
Why switching to a long-lasting metal card might be slightly better for the planet than disposable plastic.
It seems counter-intuitive: How can a heavy steel card be eco-friendly? The answer lies in lifespan.
The Single-Use Plastic Problem
Banks issue 6 billion plastic cards every year. Most of these are made of PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), which releases toxic chlorine-based chemicals when it decomposes. Because they peel and crack easily, consumers often request replacements every 18-24 months.
The "Buy It For Life" Philosophy
Stainless Steel is 100% recyclable. More importantly, it is durable. A metal card housing does not crack. By using a metal card, you are opting out of the disposable plastic cycle. You are choosing a permanent tool over a temporary accessory.
