At Universal Smart Cards, we know that sustainability is no longer a “nice to have”, it’s a business priority. Organisations everywhere are taking action to reduce energy consumption, cut waste, and meet ambitious net-zero targets. But one area often overlooked is access control. 

That’s where HID® Mobile Access®, available through Universal Smart Cards, makes a real difference. It’s a solution that combines next-generation security with measurable environmental benefits. 

The Green Advantage

Traditional access control relies heavily on plastic cards, which need to be manufactured, distributed, reissued, and eventually disposed of. This cycle consumes resources and generates waste. 

HID Mobile Access removes the need for physical cards by turning smartphones, tablets, and wearables into secure digital credentials. The impact is significant: 

  • Reduced plastic waste: No more reliance on single-use access cards.
  • Lower emissions: Fewer resources spent on production and logistics.
  • Sustainable by design: Digital credentials eliminate disposal challenges. 

For businesses committed to eco-friendly operations, it’s a powerful step towards reducing environmental impact. 

Smart, Secure, and Sustainable 

HID Mobile Access is about more than cutting plastic – it’s about building smarter, more flexible workplaces. 

  • Efficient credential management: Administrators can instantly issue or revoke access via the HID Origo™ portal.
  • No printing, no shipping: Credentials are delivered digitally, saving time and resources.
  • Seamless user experience: Employees simply tap their phone or use the patented “Twist and Go” gesture to gain access. 

Aligned with Market Trends 

According to HID’s 2025 State of Security and Identity report, businesses are rapidly adopting mobile-first solutions. The appeal is clear: stronger protection powered by Seos® encryption technology, alongside sustainability gains that support corporate ESG strategies.
