The Problem with Paper Business Cards

Traditional business cards, while seemingly insignificant, contribute significantly to environmental degradation. An estimated 7.2 million trees are cut down annually to produce paper business cards. Not only does this have a profound impact on deforestation, but the chemical processes involved in paper manufacturing also release harmful emissions.

The Sustainable Solution: Digital Business Cards

Digital business cards, like those offered by Popl, offer an innovative and environmentally friendly solution to this problem. By utilizing NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, Popl enables the instant sharing of contact information, social media profiles, and more, directly to a phone. This solution not only enhances networking efficiency but significantly reduces the environmental impact.

Popl's digital business cards are reusable and do not contribute to the waste associated with traditional business cards. As highlighted in our blog post about the death of paper business cards, this translates into tangible environmental benefits such as decreased deforestation, fewer carbon emissions, and less water pollution.
