Ortel Mobile wants to produce less plastic waste. An important step towards this is the redesign of the SIM card holder: the new shape, known as the “half SIM”, is only half the size of the former bankcard format. As a result, the company will be able to halve its plastic usage for SIM cards and save several tonnes of plastic in the long term. The packaging used for SIM packs will gradually be changed to envelopes made from 100 percent recycled paper.
