Danske Bank is to phase out all existing payment cards and replace them with cards made from 86% recycled plastic.
Initially, the new more eco-friendly cards will be launched for Danske Bank’s Pocket Money account, which is aimed at children between eight and 14 years of age.
After a trial period, the new cards will begin to replace the standard plastic payment cards - both Visa/Dankort and Mastercard - for all customers.
Rene Thejsen, ead of cards and consumer payments, Danske Bank, says : "We’re well aware that our more eco-friendly payment cards aren’t going to solve the world’s climate challenges, but they are a small step in the right direction."
