Eliminate paper waste, Measure your impact
Traditional business cards are wasteful. Profyle’s sustainable business cards cut that waste for good, and give you the data you need for ESG reports.
The hidden cost of paper cards
A single card seems small. Multiply it across your organisation, year after year, and the waste adds up. Most of it is avoidable.
⏱️
88% of business cards are binned within a week
Printed. Handed out. Glanced at. Binned. Billions of cards end up in landfill each year, for just a few seconds of use.
Paperless networking cuts this waste for good.
🖨️
Every change means more printing
New title? Reprint. New number? Reprint. Office move? Reprint. Rebrand? Reprint the lot.
Each change starts another cycle of printing, shipping, and waste.
📦
Production and shipping add up
Paper, ink, printing, packaging, shipping.
Every box of cards has a carbon cost. Most firms have no idea what it is. It’s hidden waste.
📈
Sustainability commitments need measurable actions
Your company has ESG targets. Your team needs wins they can measure and report. Eco-friendly business cards are low-hanging fruit most firms miss, easy to track, easy to explain, easy to roll out.
How Profyle delivers real, trackable impact

1.55kg of CO2 saved per person, per year
The digital business cards environmental impact is clear: 1.55kg of CO2 saved per person, per year. For a 500-person firm, that’s 775kg – the same as driving 2,000 miles. Easy to track. Easy to report.
Cutting down trees for first impressions
Paper cards need wood pulp. Millions of trees are cut each year for cards that end up in bins within days. Digital cards need zero trees. Ever.
