Recycled SE 2018

Released in North America the 3rd week of February 2018 is the "Recycled 2018" Starbucks Card. This is the second year in a row that a "recycled" card was released in February - right after Valentine's Day. This Special Edition Starbucks Card is made from 100% recycled paper. In the past, Starbucks released similar designs including the "Woody" made of birch wood in 2013. In 2016 the "Burlap" Starbucks Card was released - made of recycled coffee bags. This design is a light colored blue/green with gold lettering. Some of the leaves on the front are embossed. Because it's made of recycled paper, a QR type bar code is printed on the back (instead of the standard swipe bar code seen on most Cards).
