Ricoh Australia partners with PrintReleaf

March 17, 2025

Ricoh announced a new partnership in Australia with PrintReleaf.

PrintReleaf, delivered by wholesale solution supplier Dynamic Software Solutions (DSS) in Australia, is a platform that automatically converts an organisation’s paper footprint into new trees. 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.

Sul Koralege, Product Manager, Ricoh Australia said Ricoh is committed to sustainability and it was a logical step to partner with an organisation such as DSS. 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.

“PrintReleaf can be directly integrated into existing managed print service monitoring software, thus automating the collection of data,” said Koralege . “The platform’s cloud-based infrastructure and unique APIs allow customers to get involved without requiring any additional hardware or software in the printer fleet.

“PrintReleaf gathers the data and then reverse calculates how many trees were required and how much carbon was emitted as a result of the paper being consumed.

“Trees are then automatically replanted at certified global reforestation projects of the customer’s choice. As an example, approximately 8,333 A4 sheets of paper is equivalent to one standard tree while 117,647   sheets represents 1 metric tonne of CO2.“

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 United States.

“The entire process is completely automated with end-to-end integration from printers through to the planting of trees,” said Andrew Tsiorvas, General Manager, Dynamic Software Solutions “The ecosystem is also verified by independent third-party verifiers.”

Tsiorvas said DSS recognised Ricoh’s green initiatives and genuine commitment to sustainability alluring.

“The company has an unwavering commitment to achieving a sustainable society through comprehensive environmental, social and governance initiatives, all of which align with DSS’s own green credentials as well as those of PrintReleaf,” said Tsiorvas.

Koralege said Australian organisations are expected to welcome the opportunity to reduce their environmental impact through the use of an automated sustainability program.

“PrintReleaf makes it easy for them to understand the impact of their printing and offset that impact to make a positive difference for the planet,” said Koralege. “Customers will receive a certificate for each biomass or carbon offset issued as well as annual and lifetime summaries which are continually updated.

“We 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.”
