Another niche market involves an alternative to petroleum-based plastic cards. Larger manufacturers, such as Boston-based Arthur Blank and Company, are finding success with eco-friendly, biodegradable, corn-based cards. The cards can be composted, incinerated and mechanically recycled in industrial facilities. However, Hardy explained that corn cobs are currently only for manufacturing gift cards. “They don’t use [corn] for credit cards yet. Banking associations have standards set for Mastercards, Visa cards and American Express cards that require the use of polyvinyl chloride (PVC),” he said. PVC is valued for its durability and compatibility with other thermoplastics.
