LEXINGTON, Ky., April 22, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In
support of its commitment to innovative and sustainable imaging
solutions, Lexmark has partnered with PrintReleaf to offer
customers an automated sustainability program focused on
reforestation. Through PrintReleaf, Lexmark customers can now
reforest their paper consumption by planting an equivalent volume
of trees in certified forestry projects around the world.
The patented PrintReleaf technology measures total paper
consumption through device and fleet data collected by print
management software on Lexmark print devices. Total paper
consumption is converted into an equivalent number of trees which
are then automatically and certifiably planted around the world.
PrintReleaf also monitors reforestation partners to ensure
fulfillment.
PrintReleaf reforests at a rate of 8,333 sheets of paper per
standard tree which is openly detailed in the PrintReleaf Standard.
Lexmark customers may choose their reforestation sites or allow the
software to automatically choose for them. Additionally, Lexmark
customers may track their progress as well as share the ongoing
impact through social media, all from their own online PrintReleaf
portal.
"Our partnership with PrintReleaf further underscores Lexmark's
commitment to innovation, transparency, and the environment," said
John Gagel, Senior Manager of Global
Corporate Sustainability. "Lexmark is already a customer and now we
are excited to partner with PrintReleaf and leverage their
automated sustainability program to provide our customers a
solution for neutralizing paper waste and sustaining our global
forests."
"PrintReleaf is pleased to partner with Lexmark and expand our
global footprint," said Jordan
Darragh, PrintReleaf Founder and CEO. "We share the same
common interest to strengthen sustainability commitments with
customers and grow our global forests."
