15.10-15.20Green-washing or a true industry effort? The reality of recycled, and recycling of, polycarbonate documents - IDEMIA

15.10-15.20Green-washing or a true industry effort? The reality of recycled, and recycling of, polycarbonate documents - IDEMIA

The adoption of polycarbonate for identity documents has soared in recent decades, with growth projected to continue at a 10% CAGR (IDEMIA internal source). Polycarbonate has proven to be the top choice for ID documents, offering unmatched security, seamless integration of fraud-resistant features, and greater durability in extreme weather conditions. However, the durability of the material poses significant challenges when it comes to recycling the expired documents. Attempts to use recycled polycarbonate in the first place seem to have hit a roadblock given the disadvantages the recycled material brings. In this presentation, IDEMIA Smart Identity will take a close look at the real progress we have made and will try to answer the question 'How green can the identity industry really be?'
