World Cleanup Day, now observed annually on September 20 as part of the United Nations calendar of international days, mobilizes people in more than 200 countries to confront the waste crisis through local action and systemic change. QRFunnels’ contribution focuses on everyday business habits–how professionals exchange contact details–and how small choices at scale can reduce waste. (Source: WorldCleanupDay.org.)

Why paper reduction in business matters

Paper and paperboard are consistently among the largest components of municipal solid waste (MSW) by weight in the United States. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates 67.4 million tons of paper and paperboard were generated in MSW in 2018 (about 23% of total MSW that year), underscoring the impact of reducing short-lived printed materials.

Independent, peer-reviewed life-cycle assessments (LCA) further show that producing paper carries significant embedded greenhouse-gas emissions. A production-weighted analysis of 252 U.S. pulp and paper mills reported an average ~942 kg CO-equivalent per metric ton of paper, with ranges depending on paper grade and process energy. While business cards are a small item, their impacts scale with volume and reprinting. (Source: BioResources peer-reviewed study.)

A practical example: real-estate teams

To make impacts tangible, QRFunnels provides an environmental impact calculator that estimates potential annual waste avoided when teams move from paper to digital cards. For a real estate brokerage with 50 agents, typical paper business card use equates to about 19,800 cards discarded annually–roughly 0.8 trees, 2,972 gallons of water, and 99 pounds of CO.

“Business cards are often viewed as harmless, but the reality is they are one of the most disposable paper products in circulation,” said Adrian Babutan, Founder of QRFunnels. “On World Cleanup Day, we want to draw attention to this hidden environmental cost and provide businesses with a better alternative.”

Digital cards: durable, updateable, measurable

QRFunnels’ digital cards let professionals share contact details, websites, portfolios, and social profiles via QR code or link. Profiles are updateable in real time, reuse-friendly across channels, and compatible with analytics, helping teams understand engagement without recurring print runs. For marketing teams, digital cards can also support privacy-respecting measurement and retargeting–allowing follow-ups with people who have already expressed interest.

“Moving from paper to digital is both a sustainability step and an operational upgrade,” Babutan added. “It reduces reprints, prevents outdated cards from being discarded, and gives teams clearer insight into what’s actually working.”
