Climate positive materials to the core
We've made a long-lasting Spring products out of the most environmentally friendly materials we could find, bringing contactless QR and NFC technology to a new level of sustainability.
The natural one - Wood
Using bamboo at its core for strength, we wrap it with real wood veneer made from premium beech hardwood and bond it with natural plant-based glue.

The strong one - Recycled Plastic
In order to give our plastic a second life and make it last longer, we used less virgin plastic material in the manufacturing. Fashioning our offcuts into new material means 60% of each and every Spring product is made from recycled plastic. Your cards will still look the same, they’ll just be a little more mindful.

The biodegradable one -Pulper® smart paper
The new reality is that we can't use plastic for everything. Yes, it's long-lasting, but this is the problem, it's too long-lasting. If you're running a short campaign or expect light usage, Pulper® is the material for you. It's meant to degrade, that's the point.
When we couldn’t find a paper that met our standards of ultimate durability and sustainability, we invented our own. Our naturally textured 727gsm paper is lightweight yet incredibly durable. Pulper has also been certified Plastic-free by A Plastic Planet.
Made of wood pulp from sustainable forests. Chlorine free, tear-resistant and tested to be recyclable. After use, simply throw Pulper in the mixed paper bin.

Better for the planet
Recyclable electronics
We developed a biodegradable products that can be easily recycled by using silver ink instead of metal to make a contactless antenna and by reducing the RFID chip size by 44 per cent. Made from wood or pulper our printed electronics material combination has no negative environmental impact on recycling systems, landfill operations, or emissions.
