Convert Your Paper Footprint Into Trees

The PrintReleaf Exchange [PRX] is a patented software platform that empowers businesses to sustain and grow our global forestry system…one print job at a time.

Most organizations today are concerned about sustainability, but finding effective ways to reduce your operations’ environmental impact is not a simple task. In the digital age, paper in the workplace has stubbornly refused to go away, and paper consumption remains a significant part of most offices’ negative environmental impact.

To offset paper usage and support reforestation worldwide, Global Office has partnered with PrintReleaf to offer a tree planting program to our customers.

How it Works

Your paper footprint is measured based on your cumulative printing. This calculation is done automatically through integrations with market-leading software applications. Then, your organization may select where to reforest their consumption through a network of PrintReleaf Certified Global Reforestation Projects. The entire process runs in the background.

Automatic, Precise & Verified

PrintReleaf is the world’s first platform that automatically converts your paper footprint into actual trees. As you print, you actively replant trees in forests that need it most around the world. With PrintReleaf, resources borrowed from the earth can be returned and multiplied after use. A verified reforestation process guarantees 100% net survival of the trees you plant.

• Cloud-based: There is nothing to install on your server
• Your paper footprint is calculated automatically
• You choose the reforestation projects to support
• You receive reports & certificates of tree planting
• Reforestation projects are audited and certified by SGS International

Measure Your Footprint

Through PrintReleaf, your paper consumption is measured and trees are automatically reforested across a global network of certified reforestation projects.

PrintReleaf guarantees every sheet of paper a customer consumes will be reforested at a rate of 8,333 sheets of standard letter (8.5 × 11″ 20lb paper) or 37.16kg per tree (40ft height × 7in width or 12.192m × 0.1778m).

This open-source formula is widely and generally accepted as the industry standard as established by the Environmental Paper Network.
