Enviricard empowers businesses and consumers to protect global forests through climate-friendly choices 

Enviricard, a pioneer in sustainable card solutions, today announced how its eco-conscious Retail and Trade Cards directly align with the goals of The International Day of Forests 2025 (March 21), empowering businesses and consumers to protect global forests through climate-friendly choices. 

Backed by groundbreaking findings from The Carbon Quota Report (January 2024), Enviricard’s innovative products demonstrate how ditching plastic for sustainable alternatives can significantly reduce environmental harm while supporting forest ecosystems.

Key Findings: Enviricard’s climate and forest impact

According to The Carbon Quota Report, Enviricard’s products deliver:

• 88% reduction in carbon footprint from substrate materials alone by replacing PVC plastic with bio-based (paperboard) alternatives.
• 57% lower overall carbon emissions compared to traditional PVC cards across their life cycle (production, use, disposal).
• Biodegradable composition: Made from paperboard and (plant-based) PLA laminate, Enviricard products break down under industrial composting, reducing toxic landfill waste that harms ecosystems.

How choosing Enviricard supports forests

Reducing plastic demand

By eliminating petroleum-based plastics, Enviricard curbs reliance on fossil fuels—a major driver of deforestation for oil extraction and mining.

Lowering emissions

Forests act as carbon sinks, but climate change threatens their survival. Enviricard’s reduction of carbon footprint to 57% of PVC cards helps mitigate global warming, safeguarding forests from wildfires and ecosystem collapse.

Promoting circular materials

Enviricard’s bio-based design prioritises industrial composting, diverting waste from landfills and reducing pressure on forest-derived raw materials.

Cards with a purpose

“Every Enviricard purchase is a vote for forest preservation,” said Graham Lycett, CEO of Enviricard. “Our data proves that businesses can drive tangible change—protecting ecosystems while meeting customer demand for sustainability.”

“This International Day of Forests, we invite the facilities management, retail, membership organizations, and fintech industries among our many potential users, to join us in innovating for the planet” he added.

Commitment to future innovation

Enviricard’s roadmap includes advancing recyclability and expanding partnerships with reforestation NGOs, ensuring continuous alignment with global forest conservation goals. 

As stated in The Carbon Quota Report, the company remains dedicated to maintaining its leadership in sustainable card development through ongoing carbon reduction strategies.
