Credit Card Holder made from recycled circuit board
This credit card holder is made from recycled circuit board, comprised of many strong layers of copper and silicon. This creates a very strong and sturdy card holder that can fit neatly into your pocket.
The PCB boards are highly detailed with superb intricate patterns of complex circuitry and can carry up to 12 credit cards or ID's. Inside you will find 6 strong translucent pages in which to slot the cards when used.

These items have been recycled by a UK based organisation known as Revolve. Revolve have set up a unique network that allows them to collect materials that can't normally be recycled. They do a fantastic job, as it prevents highly toxic waste from going into landfills or being burnt and discharged into our local atmosphere.

In today's global village of instant communication and on-demand services, electronic equipment is cheaper and more widely available than ever before. Much of this equipment is designed to be of a throw away nature instead of being repairable.
Every piece of electronic equipment needs some type of printed circuit board (or PCB) in order to work, as it is the base from which the product is built. Consumer electronic products are constantly being updated and redesigned due to innovation and competition and, although these products are becoming smaller in size as time goes by, their numbers continue to increase.
Where does Revolve get their circuit boards from?
Most PCBs are produced in large volumes by electronics manufacturers and ultimately become either obsolete or fail stringent control checks, after which they are incinerated or dumped into landfill sites. It is these circuit boards that Revolve rescue and uses to make their unique giftware and stationery products. All of the PCBs used would have otherwise been UK waste
What do they look like?
The recycled PCBs have a flat finish and have never had components attached to them with any type of solder or glue. Consequently, the heavy metals associated with electronic equipment are not present. Around 95% of the PCBs are green in colour, but occasionally they get gold, red and (most rarely), blue. Some boards are single sided with a brown back and green front and others are green both sides.
What does Revolve do to them?
Each of the recycled PCBs is cut into shapes by their fantastic shape cutting machine and is always hand finished to create the final product. This is to ensure no sharp edges are left. The boards can generally be cut into any 2 dimensional shape, the only limitation is our imagination!
