Dyestar C-BIO-WH: 760 Micron White Biodegradable PVC Cards (Pack of 100)

The C-BIO-WH is a CR80 standard card manufactured from a specialised bio-PVC resin. Unlike traditional plastics that persist in the environment for centuries, this material is formulated to break down in oxygen-free environments (such as landfills) or commercial compost conditions. It maintains a graphic-quality surface, ensuring that photo IDs, fine text, and barcodes remain crisp and legible for the duration of the card's use.

Primary Applications

The versatility of the C-BIO-WH makes it ideal for various sectors that require high-volume card issuance:

• Sustainable Corporate Branding: Perfect for employee ID cards and name tags for companies with "Green" initiatives.

• Education & Campus Life: Eco-friendly student ID cards, library passes, and union cards.

• Hospitality & Events: Biodegradable hotel key cards and event delegate passes that significantly reduce post-event plastic waste.

• Retail & Loyalty: High-end gift cards and loyalty scheme cards that appeal to environmentally conscious consumers.

• Healthcare: Durable staff identification and visitor management badges for NHS trusts and private clinics.

Environmental Performance

The "C-BIO" range utilises an organic additive that makes the PVC attractive to microbes. Importantly, this process does not affect the card’s performance or lifespan during normal use; it remains moisture-resistant and physically robust. The biodegradation process only triggers once the card is disposed of in a microbe-rich environment, where it breaks down into carbon dioxide, water, and biomass, leaving no toxic residues or microplastics behind.
