InsideOutdoor | WINTER 2022 6 PRINT RELEAF Inside Outdoor magazine, in conjunction with its printing company Walsworth, is proud to share that it is PrintReleaf Certified. As you flip through these pages, keep in mind every single piece of paper used to print this publication will be fully offset through ongoing reforestation projects. Colorado-based PrintReleaf tracks paper use all the way from a mill order to a vendor’s supply chain to print production, collecting detailed paper consumption data along the way to provide an accurate count of exactly how much paper was used for a print project. Once the paper consumption is measured, trees proportionate to that paper use are automatically reforested across a global network of certified reforestation projects. The patented PrintReleaf technology also monitors reforestation partners to ensure fulfilment, said the group. Currently, PrintReleaf’s network of Certified Global Reforestation Projects includes reforestation initiatives taking place in Brazil, Canada, Dominican Republic, India, Ireland, Madagascar, Mexico and the United States (at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota). 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 37.16 kg per tree (40 ft height × 7in width or 12.192 m × 0.1778 m). This open-source formula is generally accepted as the industry standard as established by the Environmental Paper Network. Third-party audit and verification processes are administered for PrintReleaf by SGS International, a leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company with more than 70,000 employees operating throughout a network of more than 1,350 offices and laboratories around the world. SGS International certifies The Global Forestry Partners and leads field audits across the network of projects to verify 100 percent net survivability of the forests. All projects are liable to replant any loss short of 100 percent net survivability during an ongoing eight-year audit cycle. Each issue, PrintReleaf provides a digital certification for trees planted at the reforestation projects of our choice. At the same time, PrintReleaf will automatically update our Lifetime Certificate and report on the growing reforestation impact across PrintReleaf’s network of global projects. It is our intention to share these updates with our readers in futures issues of the magazine.
