Sustainable Gifting: Shop Eco-Friendly Gift Cards for World Sustainability Day

World Sustainability Day is this Saturday, October 26th, and it’s the perfect time to reflect on how we can make our choices more environmentally conscious.

One simple yet impactful way to do this is through sustainable gifting. At Card.Gift, we offer a range of eco-friendly gift card options that allow you to give meaningful gifts while respecting the planet.

The Digital Gift Card Advantage

This World Sustainability Day, consider going digital! Our digital gift cards eliminate the need for physical production, packaging, or wrapping, significantly reducing waste. With over 150 gift card options on Card.Gift, you can find the perfect gift that offers a thoughtful, personalised digital unboxing experience—no paper, no plastic, just pure convenience.

Digital gift cards are an ideal way to show you care, both for the recipient and for the environment. They’re easy to send, exciting to receive, and can be used instantly, making them a smart, eco-friendly gift for any occasion.

Physical Gift Cards Made Sustainable

For those who prefer a physical gift card, Card.Gift and The Card Network have taken steps to ensure that our tangible gift cards are as sustainable as possible. We produce approximately 6 million gift cards per year, many of which have traditionally been made from PVC. While PVC cards can theoretically be recycled, they often end up in landfills due to human error.

That’s why we’ve shifted to using 100% biodegradable, FSC-approved, paper-based gift cards. These eco-friendly cards meet compostable EN standards and are responsibly manufactured in one of the world’s most environmentally friendly paper mills. Powered by bio-energy, this mill ensures that no fossil fuels are used in the production of our cards. So, when you give a physical gift card from Card.Gift, you’re making a positive impact on the planet.

Card.Gift Green Mastercard: A Symbol of Sustainability

One of our top eco-conscious choices is the Green Mastercard Gift Card. Created as a symbol of our commitment to sustainability, this card allows you to gift responsibly while empowering the recipient to choose what they truly want.
