Have you ever opened your mailbox at home and for a second gotten a little excited thinking that you had mail, but on further inspection realized it was only junk mail? Not only is it an annoyance, but it is a complete waste of paper. With PaperKarma, you can eliminate this problem. Founded by Brenda Ribera and Sean Mortazavi, PaperKarma is an app that can help you eliminate paper waste and lower the clutter in your mailbox.

The founders of PaperKarma saw a problem: each U.S. household receives about 850 pieces of unwanted mail per year. For every piece mail you want, you receive about 20 unwanted ones. This adds up to more than 100 billion pieces of mail per year for the United States. That is a huge amount of paper waste that could be avoided especially in an age where paper products are dying. Almost everything is and can be electronic, so junk mail is even more of a waste.

PaperKarma works by you taking a picture of your junk mail, sending the picture through the app and then PaperKarma unsubscribes you and takes you off the mailing list. It’s that easy. So whether you care about your carbon footprint, or you just want to stop getting those ridiculous amount of junk mail, PaperKarma will definitely make your mail a little less cluttered.
