The environmental impact of SIM card waste

Globally, nearly 5 billion SIM cards are manufactured annually. Although they’re small, their environmental footprint is large.

Producing SIM cards requires raw materials, energy, chemicals, and plastic, much of which ends up in landfills. On top of this, SIM cards often come embedded in plastic holders the size of credit cards, which are discarded immediately.

Each SIM card swapped adds to global pollution, waste, and CO2 emissions, contributing significantly to environmental harm.
