DENVER, Colorado, December 21, 2020— Printing Industries of New England (PINE)— a regional trade association focused on providing members with business relationships, expertise and education that ensures the strength and profitability in the graphics, print and digital communications industries—is partnering with PrintReleaf to provide members with a new and innovative alternative on sustainable paper certification for commercial printers and their
customers.

Using PrintReleaf, PINE members and their customers have the option to measure their total paper consumption for any print job and ‘releaf’ that total into an equivalent number of trees which are automatically and certifiably planted around the world at reforestation sites of their choice.

“PINE see’s the PrintReleaf initiative to be a user-friendly platform for both Printers and Print Buyers alike in achieving their goals of sustainability. PrintReleaf’s technology literally translates PINE members’ conservation efforts into physical trees and replenished forests and that speaks volumes to the world about how GREEN print really is as a medium of communication ….” said Christine Hagopian, President of PINE.

“We’re delighted to grow our community of printers through the PIA affiliate network by partnering with PINE and their membership companies. We look forward to working together to advance PrintReleaf to commercial print customers in the New England region” added Jordan Darragh, CEO of PrintReleaf.
