MGM China has signed a partnership agreement with a local Macau tech company under which they will launch a new recycling solution it says transforms used playing cards into eco-friendly packaging materials.

According to MGM, the solution – developed alongside Fnetlink Technology Company Limited – is expected to recycle around 3,000 tons of used playing cards annually, achieving a 100% recycling rate.

This, the concessionaire explained, will make it the first Macau integrated resort to implement a fully localized recycling system for playing cards.

“This groundbreaking initiative gives new life to our used playing cards,” said Keith Lei, MGM’s Senior Vice President of Human Resources and Sustainability.

“It empowers the circular economy and supports Macau’s development into a low-carbon, diversified economy. Partnering with a local tech company highlights how innovation can play in driving green transformation. It sets a new standard for sustainable growth in the integrated resort industry. Moving forward, MGM will continue to explore advanced technologies to support China’s dual carbon goals and the Long-term Decarbonisation Strategy of Macao proposed by the local government, helping push the city toward a more sustainable future.”

MGM said it started co-developing the world’s first smart, automated card-shredding solution alongside Fnetlink in 2023 to boost operational efficiency while reducing the risk of occupational injuries.

The two companies furthered their collaboration this year by launching Macau’s first local program that recycles the used playing cards into high-quality recycled fibers without using water. These fibers are then turned into eco-friendly packaging products.

The new solution is said to reduce the amount of solid waste significantly compared to existing methods while also eliminating carbon emissions associated with the need to transport shredded cards out of Macau.

Elaine Wong, General Manager of Fnetlink Technology Company Limited, said, “As a locally certified tech enterprise, Fnetlink is proud to partner with MGM, a company which embraces new technologies, pursues high-quality growth, and adopts a people-centric approach.

“Their bold implementation of low-carbon environmental technologies offers feasible solutions for Macau’s economic diversification, while creating practical development opportunities and service platforms for the city.”

MGM and Fnetlink signed a partnership agreement for the playing card recycling solution at the 2025 Macao International Environmental Co-operation Forum & Exhibition last week.
