Only U.S. Biodegradable Consumer Credit Card in the Marketplace

Discover Financial Services today announced the launch of a biodegradable Discover(R) Card option, the only U.S. biodegradable consumer credit card currently available in the marketplace.

The biodegradable Discover Card is made of biodegradable PVC, a substance that allows 99 percent of the card plastic to be safely absorbed when exposed to landfill conditions. The card plastic will begin to break down in soil, water, compost or wherever microorganisms are present; with it fully degrading within five years. The biodegradable card can be identified by the biodegradable symbol that will be visible on the back of the card.
