BIZ BUZZ: Green SIM cards, anyone?
The world is filled with discarded single-use plastics, and Globe Telecom Inc. is trying to recover some by turning them into SIM (subscriber identity module) cards.
The Ayala-led telco giant said that its SIM cards made from 100-percent recycled plastics are now available to prepaid users.
Previously, the eco-SIMs were only offered to postpaid users in 2022.
“The launch of our eco-SIMs is just one of the many ways Globe is working toward a greener Philippines,” Globe head of consumer mobile business Eric Tanbauco said.
This move is in line with the company’s support of sustainable development goal 12 on responsible consumption and production.
“We continue to look for areas in the business where our practice leads to greater impact,” Globe chief sustainability and corporate communications officer Yoly Crisanto said.
