A (blue)print for sustainability: offset your printing with RDS and PrintReleaf

In a world where sustainability is no longer optional but essential, businesses are increasingly seeking innovative ways to minimise their environmental footprint. Printing, a staple of many organisations, can often feel at odds with eco-friendly practices.

But what if your printing could actively contribute to a more sustainable planet?

Well, with RDS and the innovative PrintReleaf programme, you can.

PrintReleaf is the world’s first platform that automatically converts your paper usage into actual trees planted in reforestation projects around the world. Leaves of paper lead to leaves on trees.

With RDS and PrintReleaf, sustainability isn’t just a promise – it’s a measurable commitment.

We’re proud that, since embarking on this initiative in 2022, we’ve offset over 23 million pages of paper consumption by reforesting 2,868 standard trees, which are helping to restore critical ecosystems worldwide.
