GoHenry, a financial education platform for children ages 6-18, has announced the launch of its first fully biodegradable debit card for kids. Unlike traditional plastic debit cards, GoHenry's is made from plant by-products that allow the card to decompose after use.
The shift to eco-friendly debit card materials makes sense for a brand that specifically targets Gen Zer's -- a generation known for environmental activism. According to the company, the new biodegradable debit cards will break down as quickly as six months when exposed to soil and sunlight.
“Not only are we helping kids and teenagers educate themselves on the importance of financial literacy to help their future, we have given them a debit card that won’t negatively affect the environment of the generations after them,” said Dean Brauer, the president and co-founder of GoHenry.
