A Discover spokesperson says, “We are well pleased with the interest
we’ve seen from consumers and our card members about the biodegradable
card.”
Discover announced the launch of a biodegradable Discover Card
option, made of biodegradable PVC, a substance that allows 99
percent of the card plastic to be safely absorbed when exposed to
landfill conditions.
The company also offered card holders an
additional opportunity to help the environment by enrolling in
paperless statements.
Now a credit card may seem like too small a piece of plastic to worry
about, but with 1.5 billion cards in use in the United States, well,
that’s a lot of plastic to throw into our landfills.

Harap pihak yang mengeluarkan kad kredit kepada para pengguna dapat menyokong usaha ini demi untuk menjaga alam sekitar kita.
It is good if the local banks support this effort in using biodegradable credit cards.
I like this idea! Hope to see more alternatives for us going green.
This is indeed a good idea, so we can reduce plastic in landfills. These are biodegradable.
1.5 billion of cards in landfills at United States alone, if every country throw away a significant amount of cards each year, it can fill up pretty fast.
