How about not buying the trash card and instead opting for regular paper or fully electronic?

Each tiny piece of complex trash adds to a horribly polluted landfill...

Recycling indeed is not cost effective or even impossible. Even cardboard can be contaminated with wax or paint enough to prevent recycling or require use of expensive and dangerous solvents.

Perhaps Asian way of outright banning bad packaging and products is the solution.

Fully electronic cards don't count as cards.
