PLA RFID Cards represent a revolutionary step forward in sustainable technology. Made from Polylactic Acid (PLA)—a bioplastic derived from renewable resources like corn starch or sugarcane—these cards offer a powerful alternative to traditional petroleum-based PVC cards.


SGS certificate


  • Biobased & Renewable: Sourced from annually renewable plants, reducing dependence on fossil fuels.

  • Reduced Carbon Footprint: The manufacturing process of PLA generates significantly fewer greenhouse gases compared to PVC.

  • Industrial Compostable: Under the right conditions (high temperature and humidity in a commercial facility), the card body can break down into compost.

  • Full RFID Functionality: Compatible with LF (125kHz) and HF (13.56MHz) RFID inlays, offering the same performance as conventional cards.

  • Smooth Printing Surface: Excellent for high-quality printing with eco-friendly inks, perfect for branding your sustainable initiative.


  • OEM/ODM Services: Customized designs, sizes, thicknesses

  • Personalized Customization: UV printing, embossing, magnetic stripes, RFID embedding, barcodes, QR codes, etc.

FAQ
Is PLA a sustainable material?
Polylactic Acid (PLA): The Environmentally Responsible Plastic. PLA is the talk of the sustainable packaging town. And for good reason, it's a bioplastic made from renewable, plant-based materials like corn, cassava and sugarcane.
Why PLA is sustainable?
The manufacturing process for PLA is also more environmentally friendly than traditional plastics. Ingeo PLA bioplastic produces 80% less greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional plastic derived from fossil resources
Why PLA is also called "Corn plastic"?
PLA is derived from natural, renewable starch rich crop such as corn, potato.
How does PLA decompose?
Under compost condition PLA will decompose into lactic acid when polymers are broken down. Lactic acid will decompose into water and carbon dioxide by bacteria
How long does it take for PLA to decompose?
It will take 90-180days under compost condition according to different sizes and thickness of the products.
Will PLA products start decompose under normal temperature?
No, it will not. Same as the petroleum-based plastic products, PLA products can be used under normal condition. However, as PLA is not heat-resistant, it is recommended to be used under the temperature of 50ºC.
Any special precaution for PLA storage and delivery
1). Storage: Dry, ventilated and cool environment with optimal temperature 5~35℃.

2). Delivery: Prevent from direct sunshine and pressing, use strong carton box, control temperature during container load byapplying insulated materials.
Can our existing machine and molds for petroleum-based plastic products produce PLA products?
Yes. Machine and molds for petroleum-based plastic products can produce PLA products by adjusting the mold temperature and relevant production techniques as per the characteristics of PLA.
Which areas shall we pay attention to during the production of PLA products?
1). Temperature
2). Pressure
3). Moisture content of the material
