What Is a Recycled RPVC Smart Card?
A recycled RPVC smart card is built on a card body made from recycled PVC, which reduces virgin plastic use while keeping the familiar look, feel and reliable performance of a standard PVC card. It gives brands a practical way to improve environmental positioning without changing how their cards are printed, encoded or used.
CedaGlo supplies recycled RPVC cards with LF, HF / NFC, UHF or contact IC chips, so the same recycled-content format can serve access control, membership, retail, transit and ID programs — a cost-effective, ESG-friendly upgrade that behaves just like the PVC cards your systems already support.

No chips match your filter. Try a brand (NXP, Fudan, Unigroup), a part (FM1280, NTAG 424, THD89) or an application (access, transit, banking).
Part numbers are product-family / ordering codes; exact memory, package and delivery format are confirmed per project. Crypto-1 (MIFARE Classic-class) is legacy — for new secure deployments we recommend MIFARE Plus / DESFire, NTAG 424 DNA or ICODE DNA. CPU cards are not pin-for-pin drop-ins; migration is at the COS / personalization layer. Chip availability and specifications may change; confirm current status before design-in.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a recycled RPVC card, and how is it eco-friendly?
A recycled RPVC card is made from recycled PVC material instead of only virgin plastic. Its environmental benefit comes from using recycled content and reducing virgin plastic consumption, while keeping the familiar look, feel and reliable performance of a standard PVC card. It is still a PVC-based card and is not biodegradable, so the sustainability advantage is in recycled material and reduced virgin plastic, not compostability.
Which chip frequencies and standards do RPVC cards support?
Recycled RPVC cards can be built with LF 125 kHz, HF 13.56 MHz / NFC, UHF 860–960 MHz or contact IC, using common platforms such as MIFARE, DESFire, NTAG, iCODE and FM series. This makes them compatible with most access, transit, loyalty, retail and ID systems. The exact chip is selected to match your existing readers and security requirements.
Recycled PVC vs standard PVC vs PLA vs PETG — which should I choose?
Standard PVC uses virgin plastic. Recycled RPVC keeps PVC-like performance and cost while cutting virgin plastic use, making it a practical ESG upgrade for everyday programs. PETG is a durable, high-gloss, PVC-free and recyclable material for payment and long-life ID. PLA is a plant-based, biodegradable material for short- to medium-life promotional cards. We can help you choose based on cost, lifespan and sustainability goals.
What are the MOQ, thickness, finishes and lead time for custom RPVC cards?
Cards are available in CR80 or custom sizes at 0.50–0.84 mm thickness, with more than 100,000 read/write cycles and over 10 years data retention (both chip-dependent). Finishes include glossy, matte, frosted, brushed, holographic and epoxy options. We support OEM / ODM projects including printing, encoding, UID and packaging — contact us with your quantity, chip and artwork for exact MOQ, lead time and a project quote.
