The quick win for sustainable businesses

Going green can seem like a huge, multi-year, multi-million-pound project. However, the reality is that you can make a real positive impact without breaking the bank or completely overhauling your operations.

What if we told you there is a single, simple change you can make this month that removes plastic from your entire gift card programme and sends a clear message to your customers? Ready to ditch the massive project and make one single, power switch?

The hidden plastic in your marketing – PVC plastic gift cards

Gift cards are a staple of commerce, convenience and customer loyalty with your brand. But have you ever considered what they are made of? The vast majority of gift cards, membership cards and ID cards are still made of plastic. Plastic that contributes towards the growing plastic waste problem in our landfills and oceans.

For businesses committed to sustainability, whether through ESG or CSR, plastic cards that are often used once and discarded represent a significant and often overlooked area of improvement.
