SOunds Great doesnt it , but read the makeup more closely
it is filled with a silica filler, in much the same way
as fine bonded card is filled with clay (also silica).
Its main structure is polyolefin-based , ie made of plastic more particularly polypropylene by products.
IT IS another oil based derivative , with a clever way
of breaking down in composting .

Teslin Loaylaty Cards are made with additional Polyester Loyalty overlaminate with a Poloyethylene thermal adhesive applied to 2 sides to give durability. The combination of materials do not make it recyclable nor does it degrade in a landfill.

I have nearly 3000 pounds of Teslin that was printed as table tops. Do you know of where I can sell this material? John

But how eco friendly is the plastic butterfly pouches and laminates need to actually form the cards? Teslin is only 1/3 of the equation. Just saying.
