Yes, eSIMs are more environmentally friendly compared to physical SIM cards. Traditional SIM cards are made of plastic and require manufacturing, distribution, and disposal processes that contribute to plastic waste and carbon emissions. In contrast, eSIMs are built into the device's hardware, eliminating the need for physical cards. This reduction in plastic waste aligns with eco-friendly initiatives and helps reduce the environmental impact of our increasingly connected world.
