Upcycled Plastic Payment Card from CPI® Earns
Top Honors in Business-to-Business Products Category
CPI Card Group Inc. (OTCQX: PMTS, TSX: PMTS) (“CPI” or the
“Company”), a payment technology company and leading provider of
credit, debit and prepaid solutions, today announced that it was
named a Gold Stevie® Award winner in the 19th Annual
American Business Awards®. The Company’s Earthwise™ High
Content Card received the highest honors awarded in the Product
& Service – Business-to-Business Products Category.
The American Business Awards are the U.S.A.’s premier business
awards program. All organizations operating in the U.S.A. are
eligible to submit nominations – public and private, for-profit and
non-profit, large and small. “The American economy continues to
show its resilience, and as we’re poised on the beginning of what
should be a phenomenal period of growth, we celebrate the
remarkable achievements of a wide range of organizations and people
over the past 18 months,” said Stevie Awards president Maggie
Gallagher. “This year’s Stevie-winning nominations in The American
Business Awards are testament to the ingenuity, the commitment, the
passion, the adaptability, and the creativity of the American
people. We look forward to celebrating this year’s winners during
our virtual ceremony on June 30.”
Introduced in June 2020, the Earthwise™ High Content Card is the
first card made with up to 98 percent upcycled plastic, depending
on design, and is EMV® compliant and dual interface capable. The
Earthwise™ High Content Card is made with rPETG and was recognized
for the manufacturing innovation and expertise behind it, as well
as its overarching purpose: to reduce first-use PVC in payment
cards by using plastic waste that might otherwise end up in a
landfill. The card is part of Earth Elements™, CPI’s portfolio of
more eco-focused payment cards, which includes Second Wave®, the
first to market, EMV® compliant, dual interface capable, payment
card featuring a core made with recovered ocean-bound plastic, and
the Earthwise™ Recycled PVC Card, which features up to 85 percent
upcycled PVC, dependent on design. Second Wave® payment cards were
honored with 2020’s Gold Stevie® Award in the same category.
“Plastic waste in the Earth’s environment is a complex and
multifaceted issue. This is why each of CPI’s eco-focused cards is
designed to combat plastic waste in landfills, our oceans or
elsewhere – all by helping reduce first-use plastic in the payments
industry,” said Guy DiMaggio, SVP & GM of Secure Card and
Sustainability Solutions, CPI Card Group®. “We are thrilled
to see the Earthwise™ High Content Card recognized by the American
Business Awards and hope to show industries everywhere the
advantages of uniting product innovation and environmental
stewardship.”
