Let's do more together

Many payment card providers offer solutions that claim to be eco-friendly, ‘green’ or sustainable – but if you look a little more closely, they have more work to do to make their products truly sustainable. When it comes to payment cards, that’s especially true. Most providers offer ‘eco’ cards that only contain a portion of recycled material – with the rest being ‘virgin’ PVC – making an already dire environmental problem worse.
Here at G+D, we don’t think that’s good enough. That’s why we’re committing to eliminating virgin plastic from our cards altogether. We aim, by 2030, to have all our cards virgin plastic-free, but we’re pleased to say that our Convego® Beyond range of sustainable payment card bodies is made from entirely recycled or compostable plastic. Right now.
So, if like us, you agree that less than 100% is simply not enough – why not get in touch with us today?

G+D walks the talk with our Pledge 2030
Giesecke+Devrient (G+D) pledges to replace all virgin plastic in its payment card products latest by 2030 to further enable banks and customers to fulfill their sustainability commitments.
Discover the real difference our eco-friendly cards make and learn more about our missions. Together, let's put an end to deceptive environmental claims and create a more sustainable future for the payment card industry.
