How it works
1
Certification
PrintReleaf certifies the reforestation of your forest footprint according to the measurement and calculations defined in the PrintReleaf Standard.
Each month, you’ll be issued certificates for trees planted at reforestation projects of your choice.
At the same time, we’ll update your Lifetime Certificate and report on your growing reforestation impact across PrintReleaf’s network of global projects.
2
Verification
We have developed a rigorous audit process with our certifying body, SGS International, a leading global forestry auditor with expertise in Chain of Custody (CoC) certification, to uphold and maintain the integrity of the PrintReleaf Standard.
Each reforestation project is audited over an initial eight-year verification timeline, then ongoing, until capacity is achieved to ensure 100% net survivability of trees.
3
Measurement
Through PrintReleaf, your paper consumption is measured and trees are automatically reforested across our 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.
You’re in control
You decide where to certifiably reforest your consumption across our network of projects. All projects are audited for performance and survivability
British Columbia is characterized by abundant forests, rugged Pacific coastline, mountains, plateaus, and pristine lakes and rivers. Forests cover two-thirds of the province – an area of almost 60 million hectares. However, visitors will have noticed a marked difference in B.C.’s trees in recent years. Insect pests and diseases have decimated enormous areas of forest. These dead trees become fuel for wildfires, and in summer 2017 B.C. experienced its worst wildfire in history, with over 1.2 million hectares burned.
Trees will be planted along the contouring topography and in areas where the remains of previous vegetation offer additional protection (micro-shading).
Deforestation and poverty are devastating global problems which can’t be solved in isolation. Desperate to feed their families, poor farmers in Oaxaca and Chiapas, Mexico are driven to cut down trees for immediate survival despite the horrible disasters that result: farms become wasteland, springs dry up, flooding and landslides ensue, and the land is utterly depleted for future generations.

Our Brazil project was located in the state of Sao Paulo in the 60 million-year-old Atlantic Forest. The forest spans across the eastern coastline of Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay and is one of the world’s top five biodiversity hotspots, despite losing 85% of its original vegetation. The remaining forest was in far greater danger of disappearing than the more renowned Amazon Rainforest. For the past 5 years we have worked closely with WeForest to restore this land and successfully completed our work in April 2020.
Madagascar, due to its isolation from the rest of the world, has tremendous biodiversity and high rates of endemic species. 80% of the species of Madagascar are endemic to that country. That constitutes 200,000 species that exist nowhere else on earth.
Our India project was located in a little known state in north east India called Meghalaya (‘The Abode of the Clouds’ in Sanskrit) the East Khasi Hills form part of the Meghalaya subtropical forests ecoregion. Mining had degraded the ancient biodiverse forest. The indigenous Khasi people who are at the heart of this project actively restored the landscape to the native biodiverse forest, whilst helping to mitigate climate change through sequestration of carbon in forest ecosystems. For the past 5 years we have worked closely with WeForest to restore this land and successfully completed our work in May 2020.
We support forestry projects on land provided by private or public landowners, with help from a network of experts, forest managers and technicians who guarantee the sound management, quality and monitoring of the projects over time. The projects selected are covered by a multi-year, documented management plan that establishes the suitability and durability of the action taken to protect the forest.
With native woodland circa 1% of the surface area of Ireland, it has become vitally important not only to create new native woodlands for the future, but also to link existing fragments of native and or ancient planted woodlands as wildlife corridors.
Trees will be planted along the contouring topography and in areas where the remains of previous vegetation offer additional protection (micro-shading).
United Nations SDGs
Each PrintReleaf project is linked with UNSDG’s in accordance with the goals they accomplish. For example: If you select the United States Project, this will accomplish SDG’s #1, #8, #11, #13, #15

What are SDGs?
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or Global Goals are a collection of 17 interlinked global goals designed to be a “shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future”.
The 17 SDGs are: No poverty, zero hunger, good health and well-being, quality education, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, affordable and clean energy, decent work and economic growth, industry, innovation and infrastructure, Reduced Inequality, Sustainable Cities and Communities, Responsible Consumption and Production, Climate Action, Life Below Water, Life On Land, Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions, Partnerships for the Goals.
