Switching from traditional business cards to digital cards provides significant environmental benefits by reducing paper waste and the resources involved in printing and distribution. Traditional cards contribute to deforestation and require energy, water, and chemicals for production, as well as fuel for transportation. In contrast, digital cards eliminate the need for paper, ink, and physical distribution, cutting down on carbon emissions and waste.
