In the Democratic Republic of Congo, the way we handle money can have a real impact on the environment. The way we pay for things every day has a bigger impact on the environment than most of us realize. From the energy used to print cash to the mountains of paper receipts handed out at checkouts, traditional payment methods come with hidden costs. illicocash is helping to change that by making digital payments simple, secure, eco-friendly and reduce cash waste.
The hidden costs of paper and cash
Every printed receipt requires paper, ink, and energy. Now imagine millions of them being printed every year. Add to that the resources that go into producing, transporting, and replacing banknotes and coins. It’s a lot of waste, and it leaves a mark on the environment.
