MTN Nigeria Communications Plc has introduced biodegradable, paper-based SIM cards as part of its sustainability efforts to reduce carbon emissions and plastic pollution in the country. This initiative supports the company’s Project Zero goals, aiming for net zero emissions by 2040.
The eco-friendly SIM cards, made from 100% biodegradable paper, offer a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic-based SIM cards. This shift helps minimize waste pollution, reduces carbon emissions during production and disposal, and promotes circularity.
