Biodegradable Credit Cards - Disintegrate Spending With This Green Discover Card
Disintegrate Spending With This Green Discover Card
Published: Jan 2, 09

A lot of credit card companies are jumping on the greenwagon by offering affinity cards that kick back a portion of their fees to green organizations. Now Discover has launched the first truly green card—one that is biodegradable. 99% of the card’s substance is made from biodegradable PVC, which is said to degrade into the environment with minimal impact within 5 years.

So where did this magical biodegradable PVC come from? Treehugger speculates that since the idea is relatively new/rare, it might be purchased from a company named BIOflex who makes a PVC from a mix of limestone, plasticizer, and 20 percent petroleum. (treehugger)
