Save trees

It would seem that a standard business card is so small and thin that it will be quite difficult to assess its negative impact on the environment. However, if one business card does not play a significant role, then multiplied by the volume, this situation becomes a serious problem for the survival of the planet and the preservation of forests. Let's try to prove this fact on real figures.

The average volume of wood in one tree that can be used for paper production is 330,000 cubic cm. Is it a lot or a little? To estimate this volume, we will add more initial data: in order to produce one A4 sheet, the density of which is 80 g / sq. m., you will need about 20 cubic cm of wood. So one tree is 16.5 thousand snow–white pieces of paper.

Well, now compare the business card and the A4 sheet. Of course, the business card is much smaller, but its density is much higher – 250-300 g/sq.cm. So the production of one small business card and about half of the A4 sheet will take the same amount of wood – about 10 cubic cm. It seems a little, if you don't think about the printed quantity.

A manager who is active and sells his products on a serious scale (especially if this is due to the participation of a large number of buyers) spends several dozen business cards a day – we can talk about 300 business cards a month in aggregate. This is approximately 3,000 cubic cm of wood. So one small company in a year may well put a full-fledged tree on business cards.

You can, of course, offer more impressive figures – for example, to understand how many trees per year are destroyed for business cards by employees of large corporations or government agencies. However, even without these shocking data, it becomes clear that the slogan "Give up a paper business card – save the tree" becomes more relevant than ever, and following the principles of environmental friendliness in the company's work ceases to be just a trend, but becomes a new way of doing business.
