I work for a US retailer, and have been investigating new gift card options. We currently reuse our cards as much as possible, and send spent cards to Earthworks.

However, I am very disappointed in the selection of alternatives to PVC out there for our gift cards. Yes, there are certain bio-plastics and other biodegradable materials, but they all use food sources, and, worse, GMOs in production (whether intentional or not). Our company tries to stay away from GMOs so this is not an option.

So far, Recycled PVC from Earthworks is the best option I've found, but I'm curious if anyone has found anything better.

Thanks
