Effective sustainable change with Apprico
At Apprico, we believe that enacting positive environmental change is a shared responsibility. That’s why we help you introduce sustainability into your business with our Managed Workplace Services, all while working towards our goal of achieving Net Zero by 2030.
Key initiatives include PrintReleaf, a platform that reforests trees based on the amount of pages you print, and The ACE Line, which provides refurbished print devices to reduce e-waste and keep perfectly functional equipment out of landfills.
You can read more about these initiatives below.
Certified Reforestation with PrintReleaf
A key component of any ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategy, certified reforestation is easily integrated into your business’s print strategy through the PrintReleaf platform, available as part of our Managed Print Service.
With PrintReleaf, each page you print is automatically tracked, and the equivalent number of trees is planted in critically underfunded forests across the globe.
What is PrintReleaf?
PrintReleaf is the world’s first platform that automatically converts your paper footprint into real trees. As you print, trees are planted in forests that need restoration worldwide.
This initiative allows your business to help restore forests based on your paper usage. PrintReleaf provides certificates and detailed reports about the forests you’ve helped restore over time.
We’re proud to contribute to the Trillion Trees Movement, aiming to restore one trillion trees globally by the end of the decade. Nature-based solutions like reforestation could help reduce up to one-third of the emissions required by 2030 to meet the Paris Agreement targets.
Our Commitment
Apprico is dedicated to finding new ways to support a sustainable planet. We’re pleased to offer our clients an automated sustainability program focused on reforestation through PrintReleaf. With the rapidly changing environment, we’re proud to contribute to the PrintReleaf reforestation initiative and its positive impact.
How it Works
PrintReleaf calculates your paper footprint based on your cumulative printing. The platform automatically tracks your paper consumption through device and fleet data collected by print management software.
Your paper usage is then converted into the number of trees needed to offset that consumption. Trees are planted in certified reforestation projects worldwide, and the survival of the trees is monitored through an 8-year audit process.
