CPI®’s Second Wave™ Receives Top Honors
in Business-to-Business Products Category
CPI Card Group Inc. (OTCQX: PMTS, TSX: PMTS) (“CPI” or the
“Company”), a payment technology company and leading provider of
credit, debit and prepaid solutions, today announced that it was
named a Gold Stevie® Award winner in the 18th Annual
American Business Awards®. The first payment card featuring
a core made with recovered ocean-bound plastic, Second Wave™
received the highest recognition awarded in the Product &
Service – Business-to-Business Products Category.
The American Business Awards are the U.S.A.’s premier business
awards program. All organizations operating in the U.S.A. are
eligible to submit nominations – public and private, for-profit and
non-profit, large and small. “Despite the toughest business
conditions in memory, American organizations continue to
demonstrate their commitment to innovation, creativity, and
bottom-line results,” said Stevie Awards president Maggie
Gallagher. “This year’s Stevie-winning nominations are full of
inspiring stories of persistence, ingenuity, resourcefulness, and
compassion.”
CPI’s Second Wave™, which is both EMV® compliant and dual
interface capable, was recognized on the merits of its innovation
and eco-focused purpose – to help reduce first-use plastic in
payment cards and divert plastic waste from entering the
environment. CPI estimates that for every one million Second Wave™
payment cards produced, over one ton of plastic will be diverted
from entering the world’s oceans, waterways and shorelines. Second
Wave™ is part of Earth Elements™, CPI’s portfolio of more
eco-focused payment cards, which also includes the Earthwise™ High
Content Card, produced using post-industrial upcycled plastic.
These products empower financial institutions and the consumers
they serve to become a part of the movement to protect the
planet™.
“We recognize that combating the issue of plastic waste in
Earth’s environment calls for a unified effort from people and
businesses everywhere. At CPI, we’re proud to have pioneered
solutions that allow issuers and cardholders to support this cause
through a payment card,” said Guy DiMaggio, SVP and General Manager
of Secure Card and Sustainability Solutions. “We are honored to
receive this recognition from the American Business Awards and look
forward to leading the payments industry in an effort to reduce the
impact of plastic waste on our planet.”
