With the tightening of global plastic ban policies, the ID card industry is accelerating the transformation from "plastic-based" to "plastic-free". PETG card base film, due to its 100% recyclability and non-toxic combustion characteristics, has become a popular alternative to traditional PVC. Its tear resistance is more than three times that of PVC, and it shows no cracks after being bent repeatedly 100,000 times. It is suitable for traffic cards and access control cards that are frequently used in high-frequency scenarios.
At present, over 60% of ID card manufacturers in Europe have switched to PETG production lines, and the annual growth rate in the Asian market exceeds 25%. Industry experts predict that by 2025, the global scale of PETG card substrates film will exceed 800 million US dollars, and high-end fields such as medical cards and electronic passports may become new growth points.
