An new environmentally friendly debit card

’ Nice touch from Barclays with a ‘green’, environmentally friendly debit card. Barclays customers are set to go green with the launch of the UK’s first carbon neutral debit card. This new card, which is entirely blue including the edge, is being rolled out to the bank’s 11 million debit card users as their current ones expire. Barclays has worked closely with Axalto, its card manufacturer on this innovative card. Axalto, advised by The Carbon Neutral Company, has undertaken to finance projects that work to reduce carbon emissions in the developing world, effectively balancing out the harmful emissions of the card’s manufacturing process by preventing the release of the same amount of greenhouse gases somewhere else
