Eco-Friendly Manufacturing

Sustainable innovation without compromise

As demand for greener solutions grows, ABCorp leads the industry in environmentally sound card production. From recycled materials to capital investments in sustainable manufacturing practices, we deliver secure, eco-conscious cards without sacrificing quality.

Our Eco-Forward Approach

The payment card ecosystem has long relied on first-use plastics. As the industry seeks to reduce the environmental impact of card production, spurred by Mastercard’s announcement to eliminate virgin PVC plastics from payment cards by 2028, interest in more sustainable card manufacturing has never been higher. 

We leverage a multi-pronged approach to reduce the environmental impact of the cards we manufacture for our customers. From recycled materials and sustainable manufacturing practices to our innovative partnership with Plastic Bank, ABCorp is at the forefront of environmentally-sound card manufacturing.

Eco-Friendly Card Construction Materials

We offer a wide variety of eco-friendly card construction materials including recycled plastics, renewable plant-based materials, and responsibly sourced recycled paper.

Sustainable Manufacturing Practices

Our global manufacturing model delivers efficiency at scale. Investments in solar power, electric-powered machinery, and non-solvent based inks help reduce the environmental impact of card production.

Partnership with Plastic Bank

We partner with Plastic Bank to offer plastic net-zero card products, backed by transparent reporting and blockchain technology.
