“This award not only recognizes CompoSecure’s performance as a leading manufacturer of premium metal credit cards, but also attests to our long-standing commitment to sustainability and ethically sourced materials,” said Jon Wilk, CEO of CompoSecure. “Payment cards made of sustainable materials are a growing concern with customers, so a partnership with CompoSecure means best-in-class eco-friendly solutions that boost customer retention and elevate brand loyalty.”

CompoSecure won in the Feature Cards: Environmentally-Friendly category for their work in the manufacturing of the Truist Metal Card. This metal veneer dual interface card, manufactured in coordination with Fiserv as a personalization partner, is made with 54% post-consumer materials. For metal cards produced at CompoSecure, special machines are used to cut the metal sheets (which are made from 65% recycled metal) into cards. Even the carbon-based tool bits that are used during the unique mechanical engraving are recyclable.

In addition to winning in the Feature Cards: Environmentally-Friendly category, CompoSecure also was a finalist for several other payment card designs:

• Best Secure Payment Card for the AMEX Platinum Art Card x Kehinde Wiley
• Unique Innovation Prototype category for the PointCard Atlas
• Feature: Metal Cards category for the Sapphire Preferred for Chase
