Bank of America to Make Its Credit Cards From Recycled Plastic

Bank of America Corp. said it will make all of its plastic credit and debit cards from recycled material beginning next year. All of the cards, which will feature a recycling logo, will be manufactured using at least 80% recycled plastic, Bank of America said in a statement Thursday. The Charlotte, North Carolina-based company said it’s the first U.S.-based bank to make the change across all its debit and credit cards, with the transition intended to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and energy and water use.
