The Challenge


The leading swiss credit card company Viseca wanted its business to reflect growing public demand for the use of renewable raw materials. Viseca was therefore looking for a sustainable alternative to conventional plastic credit cards.

The Solution


Swiss Wood Solutions developed a wooden payment card with a 100% compostable card body. The newly developed card underwent Visa and Mastercard’s rigorous testing procedures and was certified by both companies. The result is the world’s first ISO-certified, plastic-free wooden card.

The Result


The newly developed Timbercard looks and feels amazing. Its material hardness also ensures that it is extremely scratch-resistant. A range of wood types, colors and patterns offers a variety of design options and makes every card unique. The Timbercard can be laser-engraved with precise lettering and labeling for perfect customization. The use of wood as a material supports sustainable, local forestry.

Thanks to the terrific partnership with Swiss Wood Solutions, we went from initial idea to functioning prototype in just three months. Wherever I present the wooden chip card, the reaction is always the same: “Wow!” The cards have excellent qualities and offer an outstanding opportunity to play a role in reducing global plastic waste.
