Effective Sustainability Solutions for Direct Mail

Sustainable practices are the expectation and no longer the exception. We're onboarding direct mail partners to bring sustainability solutions to this important and evolving marketing and advertising ecosystem.

PrintReleaf partners with companies and their customers who have a forest footprint. Whether it’s postcards or letters and envelopes, brochures or catalogs, all fiber-based materials can be automatically offset through reforestation and carbon reduction projects. This results in newly planted trees in forests around the world designated for restoration and conservation, and initiatives that combat global climate change by reducing the carbon in the atmosphere.

Make every mail piece matter — for your audience and the environment.

Certified Net-Positive Environmental Impact

Direct mail marketers are increasingly adopting sustainable practices — using recycled paper, biodegradable inks, windowless envelopes, and minimizing material use. PrintReleaf offers the opportunity to easily do more: track the paper footprint and automatically replant trees in the equivalent amount to the number used to produce the materials used. New trees are planted in certified global forests which are designated for conservation and restoration, and are audited for survivability. This results in a net positive environmental impact from your paper consumption. Similarly, carbon emissions associated with the materials production can be offset with Certified Carbon Offsets, ensuring the highest level of credibility.
