RPC enhances its range of plastics substrates for cards

RPC Cobelplast-Montonate has enhanced its range of plastics substrates for cards with a new product manufactured in the biodegradable material PLA.

Reflecting a growing consumer demand for environmentally friendly card solutions, RPC Cobelplast-Montonate, Italy has teamed up with NatureWorks using a PLA material for biodegrable plastics cards.

Developed by NatureWorks, PLA (Poly Lactic Acid) is a sustainable maize-based polymer that degrades in industrial compost facilities. As it is produced from annually renewable resources, PLA offers a significant branding opportunity to emphasise ‘green’ initiative credentials.

RPC Cobelplast-Montonate has worked with Natureworks to create a new plastics substrate - Hi Print HC 81 - offering outstanding print reproduction and the lowest environment impact of any of its products. Potential applications include the gift card and telephone card markets.
