Eco Card and sustainable production
Thanks to our extensive experience, state-of-the-art technologies, careful selection of materials and production techniques, our products are sustainability-minded. We constantly strive to increase efficiency and reduce our impact on the environment.
Here’s why:
WE MINIMIZE WASTE:
we recycle 100 percent of production waste and use reusable and recyclable packaging.
OUR PRINTING PRESSES ARE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY:
we use “chemist free” printing technologies and state-of-the-art machinery certified as CO2 neutral.
WE MAKE HIGH-QUALITY PRODUCTS
also using environmentally friendly materials such as recycled PVC, SICOECO bio-PVC, Cellulose Pulp and Wood, which account for 60% of the materials used
WE EXPLOIT RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES
50% of the energy we use comes from photovoltaic systems, and our goal is to reach 100%
WE PROMOTE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY.
At every stage of our production process
01
Card in Bio-PVC SICOECO
SICOECO Bio-PVC is white, transparent and colored, printable on both sides, with the same mechanical performance as standard PVC. It is the right material for those who seek the durability of a PVC Card and simultaneously want to limit their impact on the environment.
Bio-PVC is specially treated to degrade faster than classical PVC, thanks to microorganisms that break down its structure faster, without creating microplastics that would be harmful to the environment. The resulting PVC can be disposed of with undifferentiated waste and if burned does not produce toxic substances.
Le Card prodotte con PVC SICOECO sono identiche nell’aspetto alle tessere standard e si degradano nell’ambiente in molto meno tempo; supportano gli stessi spessori, effetti, tecnologie e personalizzazioni delle tessere con PVC standard.

PVC Card Recycled80%
Recycled PVC is made from 80% waste and is printable on both sides. The basic color of the material is white. Recycled PVC cards are obtained by recycling already processed and printed PVC from production waste or defective cards. The scraps are carefully collected, sorted and subjected to a rigorous cleaning process. Then the material is ground and melted to create new pvc. The mechanical performance is slightly lower than that of standard PVC. Recycled PVC cards support the same thicknesses, effects, technologies and customisation as standard PVC cards.
03
Plastic Free Card
Cellulose Pulp is the solution for those who pay close attention to their impact on the environment Cards made from Cellulose Pulp have a Surface Protective Varnish that preserves the integrity of the print. The basic color of the material is white. The basic color of the material is white. Cellulose Pulp cards support the same thicknesses, effects and personalization as standard PVC cards.
FSC Certification provides information on the nature and origin of the materials used to make the finished product (www.fsc.org) . For more information download the data sheet (Symbol-Card-2SC.pdf)

Wood Card
Wood cards are made from high-quality natural materials such as bamboo, birch, cherry, cedar, walnut, birch, and maple and use formaldehyde-free glues. They are REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) certified: this regulation on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (EC/1907/2006) requires proof that everyday products do not contain chemicals harmful to human health.
The wooden cards can be integrated with RFID & NFC technologies. They are printable and customizable on both sides on the surface and support the same effects, technologies and personalization as cards with standard PVC.
