I don’t know, there’s so many credit card products out there…. I guess I just keep mine simple and keep the same cards. I feel like I’m supposed to “upgrade” or something, but it’s easier just to keep the ones I have. The one card I’ve had ever since first year university (even though they’ve had to send me renewals, etc.).

I suppose this is a small step that can give discover a slight edge against competition for those who are Extremely green minded. Hopefully the science behind this can be applied to other items!

Old Chemist Guy, the point here is that Discover believes it has come up with biodegradable PVC, which is different than what you describe. How effective it is, time will tell. But I think it’s a little premature to be calling it greenwashing.

This seems like greenwashing. Both PVC and the Phthalates added to them are toxic to make, toxic to hold and break down into toxic compounds.
