Denver (Oct. 13, 2020) — PrintReleaf has partnered with the Printing Industries Alliance (PIA)—a non-profit trade association serving the graphic communications industry in New York State, Northern New Jersey and Northwestern Pennsylvania—to expand its certification system to organization members and provide an innovative alternative on sustainable paper certification.
Using PrintReleaf’s cloud-based software, PIA members and their customers have the option to measure their total paper consumption, make that data actionable, and reforest their paper footprint at reforestation sites around the world.
“Sustainability continues to be an important issue for our members and the industry as a whole. The PrintReleaf program brings a new approach for any printing firm concerned about the environment and interested in communicating a positive action regarding the environment to their customers. We have heard a lot of positive comments about PrintReleaf from printing firms across the country and we are pleased to bring the program to our members, with “Members-only” pricing as an added advantage,” said Tim Freeman, president, Printing Industries Alliance.
“PrintReleaf is looking forward to working with PIA, their members, and their customers, to expand our certification system in the northeast. It’s a great opportunity to work together to drive sustainability in the commercial print industry and also positive benefits for the environment,” said Jordan Darragh, CEO of PrintReleaf.
