Discover Card Offers a Biodegradable Credit Card - To Go Along With Your Degrading Money And Jobs
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.Discover Financial Services Introduces Biodegradable Discover(R) Card

I agree with Stephanie, the title itself simply describe the entire content. Anyway, I think this so-called Biodegradable Credit Card should also apply in other country and not just on US Marketplace. The concept was pretty great and all I can do for now is to wait for the spread of this new kind of credit card.

This is nothing new. PVC-free credit card has been issued in the UK via Barclays Breathe Card and MBNA WWF Visa.
The main differences is that Discover Biodegradable Credit Card reward you with Cash Back, but nothing was given back to environment casue or project in such nature.
