PrintReleaf partners with Virginia universities
January 17, 2019
The reforestation programme has announced Radford University and Lexington’s Virginia Military Institute as its latest pair of partners.
Under the agreement—put in place by their managed print services vendor, Richmond-based Virginia Business Systems—the paper used in the universities’ copiers will be measured, and a number of trees, equivalent to the paper taken, will be planted by PrintReleaf in a stressed forest area.
The platform creates a global sustainability standard by certifiably guaranteeing to releaf the paper consumption of its customers. PrintReleaf describes itself as “the only technology platform that measures customers’ paper usage and certifiably reforests that usage on an equivalent basis.” The patented PrintReleaf technology not only tracks paper consumption, but also monitors PrintReleaf reforestation partners, “to ensure fulfillment.”
“PrintReleaf has become a major factor in our offerings to managed print services clients,” explained Rick Lingon, Vice President of Sales at Virginia Business Systems. “The availability of PrintReleaf convinced these leading Virginia schools that their faculty and students could sustainably use the paper in copiers on campus. PrintReleaf plants trees well in excess of those required for mere paper use equivalency, to fully account for tree mortality.”
“We are impressed with the ease of PrintReleaf implementation and the fact that our clients may select, from seven sites around the world, a precise area to be reforested,” Lingon added.
PrintReleaf’s founder and CEO, Jordan Darragh, said that the company was “pleased to welcome Radford University and Virginia Military Institute to the fast-growing PrintReleaf family.”
“In adopting PrintReleaf,” Darragh continued, “VMI and Radford join the University of Virginia—an early adopter of our reforestation services. All around North America, schools and in-plant print operations are finding their use of PrintReleaf to be an effective response to the desire for sustainability and resource replenishment.”
