To find out how to recycle their card, your employees can visit our help page: How do I recycle my Swile card and its packaging?
Below, we answer all the questions you might have as an administrator 😊
We’ve analysed the environmental impact of recycling to set sensible minimum thresholds for the number of cards to recycle with each collection method.
- Between 1 and 49 cards to recycle, and for remote workers: We recommend sending cards individually using the freepost service.
- Between 50 and 199 cards to recycle: It’s best to send them together in a Decomatic envelope.
- More than 200 cards to recycle: The best option is to send them together using our recycling box.
Here’s how each method works in detail! 👇
👉 Who is this method for?
- Sites where fewer than 49 employees have a card that’s about to expire
- Remote workers
👉 How does it work?
Your employees simply write the following address on a standard envelope, with no need for a stamp. You can put up to 3 cards in the envelope (no more, or the post will be returned to you!)

The envelope will be sent directly to our recycling partner, who will then give the card a new lease of life!
👉 Who is this method for?
- Sites with between 50 and 199 employees who have a card that’s expiring (expiry, switching from Bimpli to Swile, etc.)
👉 How does it work?
As an administrator:
- Step 1: Contact your Swile account manager directly. They’ll explain the steps to follow and send you the envelope. You can download a poster here to personalise with your details and share with the relevant employees.
- Step 2: Collect the cards from the relevant employees.
- Step 3: Once you’ve finished collecting, simply hand the sealed envelope to your postman or Chronopost courier (if you use this service). We’ll take care of the rest.
The envelope will be sent directly to our recycling partner, who will then give these cards a new lease of life!
💡 Good to know: Sending cards together in a Decomatic envelope is more environmentally friendly than sending them individually once you have 24 or more cards. Below this number, group sending uses more resources than individual sending. That’s why we’ve set the minimum threshold at 50 employees, to avoid dropping below 24 cards collected.
👉 Who is this method for?
Sites with more than 200 employees who have a card that’s about to expire (expiry, switching from Bimpli to Swile, etc.)
👉 How does it work?
- Step 1: Contact your Swile account manager directly. They’ll send you a recycling kit with instructions. You can download a poster here to share with your employees.
- Step 2: We recommend leaving the box out for around 3 months (adjust as needed, for example if another batch of expired cards is due in 4 months, leave it out a few weeks longer).
- Step 3: Once you’ve finished collecting, simply hand the sealed envelope to your postman or Chronopost courier (if you use this service). We’ll take care of the rest.

💡 Good to know: Sending cards together in the recycling box is more environmentally friendly than sending them individually once you have 45 or more cards. Below this number, the box uses more resources than individual sending. That’s why we’ve set the minimum threshold at 200 employees, to avoid dropping below 45 cards collected.
