Become a sustainable development actor with our innovative Eco Card offer
Taking action for the environment and sustainable development is a commitment for Gemalto and its customers. Working on ways to minimize the environmental impact of our products from initial design, production then disposal at the end of the product life cycle implies :
- paying close attention to their chemical content (hazardous substances list sent to our suppliers, additional investigations like toxicity analyses at key stages…)
- anticipating and complying with regulations throughout the supply chain.
In addition to the Eco Card, our
packaging solutions are also evolving to
include new material from Bio sources. The entire issuance chain has been re-visited
to make use of recyclable material, optimize energy consumption and minimize the
impact on the environment.
In the summer of 2011 Gemalto introduced our new DIAMs module, which requires less metal to produce, further reducing the environmental impact of the manufacturing process.

Creating eco-friendly products
Raiffeisen Bank
Austria’s leading banking group Raiffeisen has rolled out
biosourced payment cards for its Austrian cardholders. The
Visa-branded EMV cards are from Gemalto’s Clarista range of
payment solutions, and will offer special-edition prepaid
cards to end users as part of the Raiffeisen Climate
Protection Initiative.
In the first phase of the project, the Raiffeisen Visa
biosourced cards will be available as preloaded cards with a
prepaid balance. They will be supplied with Gemalto’s
customized EcoPack – a packaging made from recycled material.
The biosourced card – based on the latest state-of-the-art
product technology – offers a solution with full security
and functionality, which fits perfectly with Raiffeisen’s
values, particularly its Climate Protection Initiative.
