PrintReleaf has launched three new reforestation projects on three different continents.

The business helps companies meet their sustainability goals by automatically reforesting the equivalent of their paper and fibre-based materials consumption and offsetting the carbon emissions associated with their paper and packaging products.

It said its new reforestation projects in Malaysia, Tanzania, and California (Lassen) marked “a significant step forward” in its commitment to positive global environmental impact via reforestation for restoration efforts, with Malaysia representing its first reforestation project in Asia.

The new projects are managed by two of PrintReleaf’s certified forestry partners, One Tree Planted and Plant With Purpose. They provide PrintReleaf’s partners and their customers with additional geographic locations in which to make a positive contribution to the environment while offsetting their forest impact.

Its customers offset their paper and fibre-based materials consumption with certified, automated reforestation and carbon offsets, and can choose from projects around the world that best align with their company’s goals.

Each PrintReleaf project addresses multiple United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals such as: No Poverty, Clean Water and Sanitation, Decent Work and Economic Growth, Sustainable Cities and Communities, and Climate Action.

“We are thrilled to introduce these new reforestation projects in Malaysia, Tanzania, and California,” said Jordan Darragh, PrintReleaf founder and CEO.

“This expansion not only amplifies the opportunities for our customers to drive positive environmental change but also reinforces PrintReleaf’s dedication to listening to customer feedback.”

PrintReleaf said Asia has become a new focus for some multinational partners, while with many partners in North America there is also a lot of interest in US-based projects, so the Lassen post-wildfire restoration project in California would hold important meaning.

It said Tanzania, meanwhile, would address the continued interest in reforestation projects in Africa, following the successful completion of a project in Madagascar.
