Telenor is removing old, quarter-century-old SIM cards that were the size of a credit card. New, more environmentally conscious cards are constantly hitting stores and replacing the old old solution, read Telenor’s announcement. This step could reduce the packaging waste associated with new SIM cards by 50 percent, both in the volume of plastic surrounding the cards and in the volume of the foil sleeve.
With this move Transportation can become more efficient: half the size Savings of up to 15 percent can be achieved on SIM charging costs According to Telenor, by making smaller cards with less packaging and less weight, they also require lower fuel consumption in transit.
The half SIM is another component of many of our previous steps towards sustainable development, Attila Mizaros, Director of Corporate Communications at Telenor Hungary. He also added:
We supply our headquarters in Törökbálint with renewable energies, we have introduced the digital contract instead of the paper one, and more and more customers are using electronic billing.
The CEO also noted that Anyone in stores can turn in their old devices at any time, along with batteries and cables, professional recycling reduces the burden on our environment
