Mastercard launched its Sustainable Card Programme in 2018. Since then more than 330 issuers in 80 countries have signed up, working in partnership with major card manufacturers to transition more than 168 million cards across its network to recycled and bio-based materials. From January 1 2028, all newly manufactured Mastercard plastic cards will be made from more sustainable materials, such as recycled or bio-sourced plastics, for instance rPVC, rPET or PLA, and approved through a certification programme. //
