The material of these cards will be composted and returned to nature in a few months. Courtesy
On the path to becoming the first Neto Positivo bank and banking with a purpose, BAC continues to redesign its bank cards, changing the current material (PVC plastic) to a natural material called PLA.
This innovation aims to reduce the use of plastic and transform it into a material that can be composted through BAC at the end of its life, thus creating positive environmental value.
With this premise, BAC has expanded its BIO card portfolio, now incorporating the AMEX and VISA brands, to offer customers more choice across all brands on the market.
The cards are made from 82% non-food corn-based material (PLA: Polylactic Acid), which requires 26% less energy to produce and emits 66% less greenhouse gases than plastic. Additionally, when the material is composted, it returns to nature in a matter of months, whereas plastic would take hundreds of years.
The remaining 18% of the card corresponds to the chip, band, antenna and design. For the latter, the ink used is water-based, not solvent-based, so no toxic fumes are produced. The card is packaged in a 100% recycled cardboard envelope, promoting a circular economy in all processes related to the BIO card.
“At BAC, we are very excited to integrate the VISA and AMEX brands into our BIO card portfolio, completing all brands in the national market. Together with our customers, we are reimagining banking to have a positive impact on people and the environment. Our commitment is to continue working towards a more sustainable present and future” Fernando González, President of the El Salvador BAC.
