PrintReleaf Plants 500,000th Standard Tree

Press release from the issuing company

Planting Rate Now Exceeds 1,000 Per Day

Denver, Colorado, USA - PrintReleaf has announced that  more than 500,000 standard trees have been planted as part of their certified reforestation program.  Discussing the milestone, PrintReleaf CEO and Founder Jordan Darragh commented: "We are pleased to have planted more than a half-million standard trees on behalf of our printing industry partners and their clients.  A standard tree is equal to 8,333 sheets of standard 8.5 x 11 inch US letter paper.  The actual number of trees planted varies from reforestation site to reforestation site depending on climate, soil conditions, tree mortality after planting, and the time necessary to grow a tree to maturity.  The PrintReleaf reforestation program--now active around the world, with projects in Brazil, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Madagascar, India, Ireland, and the United States--currently plants trees at a rate exceeding 1,000 actual tree seedlings per day.  With the introduction of PrintReleaf to the commercial printing industry at PRINT 17 in Chicago, we look to significant reforestation growth in the future.  Only PrintReleaf offers print customers a certified and verified means of ensuring their paper usage is reforested."
