Diamond Packaging Partners With PrintReleaf Platform
Board Converting NEWS INTERNET DIRECTORY
Rochester, New York based Diamond Packaging has an- nounced a new partnership with PrintReleaf, a sustain- ability platform that enables companies to measure their paper and fiber-based material consumption and offset the equivalent forest impact through certified global refor- estation projects. The initiative expands Diamond's portfolio of sustain- able packaging solutions by giving consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands an additional way to address the envi- ronmental impact associated with their paperboard pack- aging. Through PrintReleaf's cloud-based platform, the pa- perboard used for participating packaging programs can be measured and converted into an equivalent number of standard trees. A standard tree is PrintReleaf's unit of measurement for forest biomass, equivalent to a tree 40 feet tall and 7 inches in diameter at breast height (DBH) at maturity. PrintReleaf then supports reforestation through a network of certified projects around the world, providing customers with documented and verifiable results. “CPG brands are increasingly looking for credible, measurable ways to advance their sustainability goals and demonstrate meaningful environmental action,” said Den- nis Bacchetta, Marketing & Sustainability Director at Dia- mond Packaging. “Our partnership with PrintReleaf gives customers another opportunity to extend their sustainabili- ty efforts beyond responsible material sourcing by directly supporting certified reforestation.” PrintReleaf uses an industry-standard biomass ac- counting methodology to calculate the forest impact asso- ciated with paper and fiber-based materials. Its reforesta- tion projects are governed by the PrintReleaf Standard and independently audited to verify project performance and tree survival. “Packaging is one of the most visible expressions of a brand, which makes it an important opportunity to demon- strate environmental responsibility,” said Jordan Darragh, Founder & CEO of PrintReleaf. “We’re pleased to partner with Diamond Packaging to give CPG brands a measur- able, verified way to connect their packaging programs with certified reforestation and meaningful environmental impact.” The PrintReleaf partnership is a natural evolution of Di- amond‘s Greenbox initiative and complements the com- pany’s longstanding commitment to sustainable manufac- turing. Today, Diamond’s packaging is manufactured from re- cyclable paperboard, including FSC®-certified options, us- ing 100% wind energy in a Carbon Neutral (Scope 1 and Scope 2), Zero Waste to Landfill facility. Diamond has also established science-based greenhouse gas reduction targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative CONTINUED ON PAGE 38
