    That’s a pretty stunning figure. Wonder how large a portion of that is private individuals vs. companies.

    I changed my SIM for the first time in a decade earlier this year. Do people change SIMs more frequently than that?

      18,000,000 kg / 7,000,000,000 = 0.0025 kg per person on earth. 2.5g per person. Its not a big number at all.

      Granted, not everyone has a phone or sim, so the number may be 2-4x higher, but we are talking about such a tiny amount of waste that its a rounding error in the scheme of things.
