Recycled PVC and Recycling Program
2/9/2010 OCS New Year's Resolution We will only send you a newsletter if it contains important and valuable information. To that end, please know that with roughly 17 billion plastic cards produced annually, adding 75 to 100 million pounds of PVC to landfills, Optimum Card has found a cost-effective program that recycles used plastic gift cards into new cards. Finally, a gift card plastic stock that can be classified as a cost-effective, 100% recycled product. Going "green" can often have many underlying effects that do more harm than good, not to mention a higher price. And, until now because most gift cards contain magnetic stripe, they really could not be recycled in an effective manner. So they ended up in a landfill or became part of a high-priced plastic stock that was not cost-effective. Optimum is happy to quote your card production using this revolutionary green component. Even better, this same company that produces the recycled card stock will use your previously sold gift cards and obsolete inventory in their recycled stock. They shred them, mag-stripes and all, and process them into new cards that perform similarly to brand new PVC cards. The only materials that cannot be recycled are metallic films or foils. This program has no processing fees or additional charges. The only cost to you is the shipping costs to get it from your offices to their production plant. Surely that is much cheaper than having your old cards shredded and hauled off. So, with the upcoming 40th Anniversary, celebrate 2010 Earth Day by considering printing this year's gift card inventory using this revolutionary recycled stock. And collect your previously sold cards to help produce a new batch of this card stock. This program is a great way for your company to show its support in the green movement. Keep your company's gift cards out of landfills and in the consumer's hands! If your company is interested in these options, please call OCS at 630-458-0077 and ask to speak with a sales representative.  |
