World-first platform that automatically converts an organisation\u2019s paper footprint into new trees.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ricoh has partnered in Australia with PrintReleaf, a leading industry sustainability solution provider, on an innovative carbon offset program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PrintReleaf, delivered by wholesale solution supplier Dynamic Software Solutions (DSS), is a world-first platform that automatically converts an organisation\u2019s paper footprint into new trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As paper is consumed in printers, either an equivalent volume of trees (biomass) is planted in targeted forests or the emissions associated with the paper consumption is offset through verified projects around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sul Koralege, Product Manager, Ricoh Australia, said Ricoh is committed to sustainability and it was a logical step to partner with a trusted organisation such as DSS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PrintReleaf platform makes it easy for businesses to track their forest impact or carbon footprint resulting from printing and ensure it is fully offset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPrintReleaf can be directly integrated into existing managed print service monitoring software, thus automating the collection of data,\u201d says Koralege. \u201cThe platform\u2019s cloud-based infrastructure and unique APIs allow customers to get involved without requiring any additional hardware or software in the printer fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPrintReleaf gathers the data and then reverse calculates how many trees were required and how much carbon was emitted because of the paper being consumed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTrees are then automatically replanted at certified global reforestation projects of the customer\u2019s choice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based in Boulder, Colorado, PrintReleaf was launched in March 2014 and is currently being used by more than 40,000 organisations around the world. The company has certified reforestation projects in a number of countries including Brazil, India, Ireland, Mexico and the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe entire process is completely automated with end-to-end integration from printers through to the planting of trees,\u201d said Andrew Tsiorvas, General Manager, Dynamic Software Solutions.\u201cThe ecosystem is also verified by independent third-party verifiers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tsiorvassays DSS recognised Ricoh\u2019s green initiatives and genuine commitment to sustainability alluring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe company has an unwavering commitment to achieving a sustainable society through comprehensive environmental, social and governance initiatives, all of which align with DSS\u2019s own green credentials as well as those of PrintReleaf,” said Tsiorvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Koralege says Australian organisations are expected to welcome the opportunity to reduce their environmental impact through the use of an automated sustainability program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPrintReleaf makes it easy for them to understand the impact of their printing and offset that impact to make a positive difference for the planet,\u201d said Koralege. <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCustomers will receive a certificate for each biomass or carbon offset issued as well as annual and lifetime summaries which are continually updated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe welcome our partnership with DSS and believe that PrintReleaf will provide our customers with genuine and concrete environmental benefits in the years ahead. It offers a highly reliable and practical system for sustainable printing and is a vehicle through which our customers can monitor and reduce their environmental impact.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
