Materials

Sustainable materials

Dealing responsibly with our environment is particularly important to us. As an alternative to plastic cards, we offer environmentally friendly recycled materials as well as highly sustainable products made of biodegradable yet durable materials such as bio-PVC.

Recycled PVC Cards

Recycled PVC cards are an environmentally friendly, sustainable alternative to conventional plastic cards.

They are made of up to 100% recycled plastic and can be fully recycled again. Recycled PVC cards can be personalised with DoD and thermal transfer printing processes and combined with any finishing techniques.

All common printing and finishing techniques
Can be personalised just like PVC cards
Available with RFID chips, contact chips or barcodes

Environmentally and resource-friendly

Grass cards

Grass cards are real eye-catchers thanks to their unique texture, and they clearly demonstrate your company’s sensitivity to environmental issues.

Grass cards consist of 50% grass or hay and are biodegradable and compostable. Compared to paper and cardboard, which consume significantly more energy, water and wood in production, grass cards are an innovative, environmentally friendly alternative made from a fast-growing material.

Plastic

Plastic cards – we use them every day. They connect us to our bank accounts and health funds, identify us as loyal customers, grant us access or confirm our identity.

SINC NOVATION develops and produces any type of plastic card for your individual card project, including a broad range of feature options.

Cards made from bio-PVC

Bio-PVC is an environmentally friendly material for your cards.

While bio-PVC, like PVC, is made from crude oil and rock salt, it has substances added during the manufacturing process to make the material 100% biodegradable. Bio-PVC cards are just as durable as plastic cards and can be combined with any printing and finishing techniques.
