Sustainability is not just a buzzword, it’s imperative for businesses. As companies face growing pressure from customers and stakeholders, sustainability has become a key factor in corporate strategy. This shift is especially relevant in the printing industry, where environmental concerns about paper consumption, energy use, and carbon emissions are front and center.
Fortunately, what was once a challenge is now an opportunity. With the right tools and partners, printing can be a surprisingly powerful area to demonstrate measurable, tangible sustainability. That’s where MPS Monitor’s partnership with PrintReleaf comes in.
PrintReleaf empowers businesses to automatically reforest the equivalent of the paper they consume and offset the associated carbon emissions. Through seamless integrations with Managed Print Services (MPS) platforms, PrintReleaf helps dealers and their customers translate usage data into verified environmental action – backed by certifications, tracked in real time, and aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Learn how MPS Monitor and PrintReleaf help you transform paper consumption data into certified reforestation, and why embedding sustainability into your Managed Print offering is good for business and essential for the planet.
PrintReleaf’s Vision for Environmental Sustainability
PrintReleaf believes sustainability should be simple, measurable, and automatic. Their vision is to embed environmental responsibility into everyday business activities – like printing, packaging, and direct mail marketing – so that companies can make a real impact while pursuing their own business objectives.
The PrintReleaf platform connects directly to print tracking systems and MPS tools, such as MPS Monitor, measuring paper consumption and translating it into action. The amount of paper used is analyzed to determine the number of trees used to produce it. That number of trees is then reforested in certified reforestation projects around the world that are dedicated to restoration and conservation. Additionally, PrintReleaf enables businesses to offset the carbon footprint of their print activities.
What sets PrintReleaf apart from other tree-planting initiatives is the commitment to transparency and accountability, as well as the streamlined automated sustainability platform. All reforestation and carbon offsetting is third-party verified, and customers receive detailed certificates and reporting that they can share with stakeholders. It’s a practical, data-driven way to contribute to global environmental sustainability – credible and tangible.
We’re building a future where sustainability isn’t a special initiative, it’s built into business operations.
The Role of MPS in Sustainability
Managed Print Services have long helped organizations optimize their print environments, reducing waste, lowering costs, and improving efficiency. But there’s a growing opportunity for MPS dealers to take their services even further by enabling sustainability at scale.
Because MPS software already tracks every printed page, it’s uniquely positioned to power environmental impact. PrintReleaf integrates directly with these systems, using the data to automate reforestation and carbon offsetting, making the process seamless for dealers and their customers.
For MPS providers, this creates a new layer of value:
- It enhances your service offerings with integrated sustainability.
- It aligns with the ESG goals of your customers.
- It helps differentiate your business in a competitive market.
MPS dealers can become leaders in sustainable print and help their customers realize the value with measurable impact.

How To Get Started With MPS Monitor + PrintReleaf
Through the seamless integration of PrintReleaf into MPS Monitor, promoting sustainability becomes effortless. Getting started is simple: PrintReleaf automatically collects paper consumption data directly through the MPS Monitor counters APIs, whatever DCA Agent is installed on the customer’s network or Cloud solution. Each month, customers’ cumulative paper footprints are converted into reforestation projects, chosen according to their preferences. Dealers can quickly activate this service from the MPS Monitor dashboard, deciding between automatic integration (where MPS Monitor directly manages the process via PrintReleaf APIs) or manual integration, based on existing PrintReleaf agreements.
This integration supports customers’ ESG strategies by allowing them to easily choose certified reforestation initiatives and generate sustainability reports directly from the dashboard, ideal for sharing with stakeholders. By providing transparent and measurable environmental impacts without additional administrative tasks, dealers position themselves as sustainability leaders, empowering clients to tangibly support global environmental goals and enhance their sustainability credentials.
