HID, a worldwide pioneer in trusted identity solutions, has introduced its Seos® Bamboo™ credentials made from sustainably sourced bamboo instead of PVC.
The credential is part of HID’s award-winning Seos security solution and is the first in a range of physical access security Eco Cards™.
FSC® certification
The bamboo is certified by the Forestry Stewardship Council® (FSC®), an assurance that the material comes from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits.
Recent market reports, including HID’s State of Security and Identity Report, indicate a majority of organisations rank climate and sustainability as corporate priorities. As a result, they are turning to renewable and eco-friendly materials as much as possible, in addition to reducing energy consumption and waste.
Alternative options
Introducing highly secure access cards made from bamboo demonstrates HID’s innovation without compromising security
Introducing highly secure access cards made from bamboo, a renewable resource that grows quickly and requires less water and pesticides than traditional card materials demonstrates HID’s continuous innovation without compromising security and customer experience.
“Our journey to offer alternative options to plastic cards and badges began 10 years ago with the introduction of HID Mobile Access®, a first in the industry,” explains Martin Huddart, Senior VP and Managing Director of Physical Access Control at HID.
Eco-friendly value chain
“Seos Bamboo offers an additional option for sustainability within the physical access ecosystem, as it supports a more eco-friendly value chain in areas where physical access cards are still required.”
Seos Bamboo cards also support organisations seeking green building certifications, including the internationally accepted Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM®), and the Zero Waste to Landfill certification.
