Why businesses need a plastic-free card solution
12 September 2025
For decades, businesses have focused on recycling programmes and reducing energy consumption. Whilst these are worthy courses, as the climate crisis intensifies, customers, employees and stakeholders are demanding tangible, measurable action.
This is where a simple change like removing plastic from your ID, membership cards, cruise ship key cards, etc., can make a powerful impact. Whilst PVC plastics have been the industry standard, they come with significant environmental costs.
But what if you could remove all plastic from your card programme in one simple swap? Choosing a PVC plastic-free solution, you aren’t just doing the right thing. It’s a strategic business decision that can enhance your brand.
The ROI of sustainability
Enhancing brand reputation
Across the board, eyes are on businesses and their conscientious efforts to reduce their environmental impact. Whilst this has led to improvements and more eco-friendly programmes, it has also led to a rise in greenwashing, which has destroyed the trust of customers and stakeholders alike.
By committing to a programme that combines tangible actions with accredited reviews, suddenly small changes like removing plastic from your card programme has a massive impact and measurable results. Perfect for ESG and CSR reports.
In a crowded marketplace, proving that your business is taking measurable actions is a powerful differentiator from the crowd.
Achieving ESG and B Corp goals
Often laughed at 10 years ago, the Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) has now become a trading norm and can have massive ramifications on your business. Now part of the long term business strategy, the ‘E’ part of the compliance can be the hardest to fulfil.
