Gateway Bank has carefully developed these cards with our partners to ensure they function just as well as a normal PVC card. Even when incinerated, the card does not emit any hazardous or toxic gases leaving only ashes. PLA cards will degrade up to 20 times faster than conventional PVC in land fill, and adds no chemicals to the soil as they degrade. When the card needs to be disposed of, all you need to do is cut the card up through the chip and your personal details to ensure secure disposal in your normal waste. The manufacturing process also generates 68% fewer greenhouse gases and PLA contains no toxins. Producing PLA uses 65% less energy than producing conventional plastics, according to an independent analysis commissioned by Nature-Works. PLA cards are as strong and durable as PVC cards, but are far less harmful to the environment as they degrade much faster than any other petroleum-based plastics and do not produce microplastics. PLA is also industrially compostable, typically breaking down in industrial conditions within 6 months, can be safely incinerated and will not release chemicals if discarded in a landfill. PLA is non-toxic, and is often used in food handling and medical implants that biodegrade within the body over time.
