Shrinking bank cards: an essential step to protect personal data and prevent fraud
Bank cards, used every day for electronic payments and transactions, contain sensitive security information that can be fraudulently exploited if kept after expiry or cancellation. Shredding them into small pieces prevents cloning and reuse of components, protecting personal data and preventing financial fraud.
Benefits of Safe and Environmentally Friendly Bank Card Shredding
- Responsible financial data management: Controlled destruction of bank cards prevents unauthorized access to sensitive information and protects cardholders' identities.
- Promoting the circular economy: Plastics and metal materials resulting from the destruction of cards are collected and recycled, helping to reuse resources in other industries.
- Protecting the environment: Recycling materials from destroyed cards reduces waste and helps conserve natural resources.
Stages of the Processing Process
- Collection: Expired or deactivated bank cards are collected from financial institutions and safely transported to authorized destruction centers.
- Sorting: Cards are checked and separated according to material (plastic, metal, composite) and recyclability.
- Cleaning: Cards destined for recycling are cleaned of inappropriate items such as chips, magnetic stripes or electronic components.
- Knocking: The cards are mechanically destroyed by shredding so that personal data becomes unrecoverable.
- Reprocessing: The resulting materials are recycled and transformed into secondary raw materials that can be used in various industries, helping to protect the environment.
