Leonardo Hotel Amsterdam Rembrandtpark Chooses Recycled PVC Key Cards by PrintPlast

PrintPlast is pleased to announce our partnership with Leonardo Hotel Amsterdam Rembrandtpark, one of Amsterdam's largest and most well-connected hotels. With 446 rooms and a steady flow of international guests, the property has chosen recycled PVC RFID key cards from PrintPlast to align its daily operations with its commitment to environmental responsibility.

For a hotel of this size, the impact of switching to recycled materials is significant. Hundreds of key cards are programmed, distributed, and collected every day. By choosing recycled PVC over conventional virgin plastic, Leonardo Hotel Amsterdam Rembrandtpark ensures that each of those cards contributes to a more circular approach to resource use in the hospitality industry.

Amsterdam's Skyline Hotel at Rembrandtpark

Leonardo Hotel Amsterdam Rembrandtpark is a striking high-rise property located next to the green expanse of Rembrandtpark and conveniently positioned along the A10 ring road. The hotel's 17th-floor restaurant, Floor17, offers panoramic views across the Amsterdam skyline, giving guests a perspective of the city that few other properties can match. The Skybar on the same level provides a stylish setting for evening drinks above the rooftops.

The hotel serves a diverse mix of travelers. Business guests appreciate the eight meeting rooms with panoramic views and the direct tram connection to Dam Square in approximately 20 minutes. Leisure travelers enjoy the proximity to Rembrandtpark for morning walks and the easy access to Amsterdam's museums and canal district. A shuttle service to Schiphol Airport adds further convenience for international visitors.

With a fully equipped gym, sauna, and contemporary room interiors featuring air conditioning and in-room coffee and tea facilities, Leonardo Hotel Amsterdam Rembrandtpark delivers a modern, comfortable experience at scale. The decision to partner with PrintPlast for recycled PVC key cards adds a sustainability dimension to that experience.

Recycled PVC at Scale: Why Volume Matters

When a 446-room hotel operates at high occupancy throughout the year, the volume of key cards in circulation is substantial. Each guest receives at least one card at check-in, and many request duplicates for travel companions. Over the course of a year, that adds up to tens of thousands of individual cards. The material choice for those cards has a real, measurable environmental impact.

100% recycled PVC (RPVC) is produced from post-consumer and post-industrial plastic waste that has been collected, processed, and reformed into card-grade material. This process diverts plastic from landfills and reduces the energy consumption associated with manufacturing virgin PVC. For a high-volume property like Leonardo Hotel Amsterdam Rembrandtpark, the cumulative effect of this choice is considerable.

The recycled PVC material performs identically to conventional card stock. Print quality, durability, chip integration, and card lifespan all meet the same industry standards. The only difference is the origin of the material, and that difference matters for hotels that take their environmental commitments seriously.

Leonardo Hotels: A Brand Committed to Responsibility

Leonardo Hotels operates over 280 properties across Europe and is part of the Fattal Hotel Group. The brand has made sustainability a core element of its operational strategy, implementing energy-efficient systems, waste reduction programs, and sustainable procurement practices across its portfolio. The adoption of recycled PVC key cards at the Amsterdam Rembrandtpark property is consistent with this broader brand commitment.

For hotel groups operating at this scale, standardizing sustainable practices across individual properties sends a powerful message to guests, partners, and the wider industry. When a guest checks into a Leonardo Hotel in Amsterdam and receives a recycled PVC key card, they see firsthand that the brand's environmental promises are backed by tangible action.

RFID Technology and Operational Reliability

Every key card PrintPlast produces for Leonardo Hotel Amsterdam Rembrandtpark is embedded with RFID technology compatible with the hotel's electronic access control system. The cards provide encrypted, contactless room access that meets the security standards expected by modern travelers.

For a hotel with 446 rooms and high guest turnover, operational reliability is critical. Key cards must work consistently from first use through the guest's entire stay, regardless of how many times they are tapped against a lock. PrintPlast's quality control process ensures that every card passes functional testing before delivery, minimizing the risk of faulty cards that could disrupt the guest experience.

• Sustainable material - 100% recycled PVC diverts plastic from landfills
• Volume efficiency - large-scale production ensures consistent quality across thousands of cards
• Brand integration - custom design reflects Leonardo Hotels' visual identity
• Security standard - encrypted RFID prevents unauthorized card duplication
• Operational fit - compatible with existing lock infrastructure, no hardware changes required

Amsterdam: A City That Expects Sustainability

Amsterdam consistently ranks among Europe's most environmentally conscious cities. The municipality has set ambitious targets for waste reduction, circular economy adoption, and carbon neutrality. Hotels operating in the city are increasingly expected to demonstrate their environmental credentials, both by local regulations and by the preferences of their guests.

International travelers visiting Amsterdam often arrive with sustainability expectations already in mind. They have chosen a city known for cycling, renewable energy, and green spaces. When they check into their hotel and receive a key card made from recycled materials, it reinforces the consistency between the destination and the property. It tells guests that the hotel understands where it is, and that it operates accordingly.
