The European card market comprises more than 4 billion plastic cards, of which over 70 per cent are made from PVC polymers; this equates to 28,000 tonnes of plastic (source: ICMA). In recent times, there has been growing interest in all things ‘eco-friendly’ when it comes to materials used in card manufacturing. The paths to obtaining new and better materials for the future – especially for future generations – may vary, but they are always vital for protecting our environment.

There is indeed a possibility within our reach to improve and protect the ecosystem, which lies in using the right raw material for each specific need. For this reason, APLICARD offers materials other than PVC, from which high-quality cards can be manufactured depending on the specific application.
