Dubai: Virgin Mobile UAE has launched new biodegradable SIM cards in the country. The company claimed that the new SIM cards are made from an oxo-biodegradable plastic. The new SIM will break down into tiny pieces and will slowly degrade in the presence of oxygen and UV light. When placed in a landfill, the degradation process can take between four to six months. The normal plastic SIM will take hundreds of years to degrade.
