Being Forest Positive transforms printing from causing a negative environmental footprint to a positive force for ecological renewal.
PaperCut Grows is a tool in PaperCut MF and PaperCut Hive that transforms printing essential documents into Forest Positive printing. It’s a sustainability program that converts your printed documents into planted trees.
Delivered in partnership with certified, non-profit reforestation projects around the globe, the trees are planted in forest locations hand-picked by you.
When you’re part of the PaperCut Grows community, a tree is planted for every 8,000 pages printed. Since one tree produces 8,333 sheets of paper, with PaperCut Grows you more than replace the trees used by your printing!
And to top it off, PaperCut Grows comes with your own personalized Marketing Toolkit equipped with website, social media, and other content so it’s easy to tell your sustainability story.
20% of current greenhouse gases are due to tropical forest destruction. With 30% trees cut down being used for paper products, business printing needs to do more than minimize paper waste.
Safeguarding tomorrow is about more than waste reduction, it’s a behavioral practice that creates sustainable benefits for your business, your community, and our planet.
We create smart software for printers. For over 20 years PaperCut has crafted industry-leading print management software that reduces paper waste and saves trees.
Sustainability is part of our DNA, in fact our company was founded all because of a recycle bin overflowing with abandoned printouts.
To date, our solutions have saved 2.3B pages and 280,451 trees, and counting. But minimizing waste is no longer enough, we’re now doing more with Forest Positive printing and PaperCut Grows..

we’ve been planting more trees than we use with our printing to help fight climate change. Text into your company blog for a post about your Forest Positive story, or use it as a scaffold to write your own article.
Climate change has been an inconvenient truth for decades and counting. Despite incredible efforts around the world, carbon emissions still need to be reduced on a global scale. If our fossil fuel emissions continue unchecked, the UN’s IPCC reports that global temperatures are likely to rise by 1.5 degrees in the next two decades.
Reduction is simply no longer enough. The world needs to level up its sustainability efforts in the war on climate change. Picking up momentum on that front is the Forest Positive movement.
Forest Positive is about more than reducing waste or carbon emissions. It’s not about neutralizing environmental impact. It’s about tipping the scales into an environmental surplus. Forest Positive transforms environmental impact from a deduction to an addition. It means an organization takes an active role in replenishing and conserving our natural ecosystem. By becoming Forest Positive, we can help ensure there is a tomorrow for the environment, people, and ultimately, our planet.
The soldiers on the frontlines of the climate change war are the world’s trees. One mature tree absorbs more than 48 pounds of carbon dioxide each year. Unfortunately, due to climate change and deforestation, the amount of trees on the planet is shrinking every day. Of all those trees cut down, 3/10 are used for paper. So businesses like ours need to look at how we can turn our printing’s environmental impact around. An organization that allows workplaces to do just that is PaperCut Software.
PaperCut print management solutions have been helping organizations reduce their paper use for 20 years and counting. But forest neutral doesn’t cut it anymore. PaperCut is passionate about not just reducing waste, but about tipping the scale in the planet’s favor by replacing more trees than those cut down to produce paper.
It’s called Forest Positive printing and it’s something that our organization is now a part of. By signing up for PaperCut’s sustainability program PaperCut Grows (part of our license with PaperCut MF/PaperCut Hive), we've already planted XXX trees
in reforestation projects around the world - more than enough to make our printing Forest Positive for the next XX years
.
Every printed page starts life as a tree, and a healthy planet needs more trees, not less. Printing is just one element of environmental impact, but it’s the missing second half of the printing equation that we’re now solving. We’re proud to report that all our organization’s business creativity and communication are now fuelled by Forest Positive printing thanks to PaperCut Grows. (437 words)

A byproduct of business operations is the humble ream of paper. Essential documents still need to be printed, but as a sustainable workplace, we must ensure that no paper is wasted. 30% trees cut down are used for paper processing, so ensuring we print thoughtfully and sustainably is an important part of our environmental efforts. We track, manage, and secure our printing with PaperCut solutions, and with their Forest Positive sustainability program, PaperCut Grows, we’ve turned our printing’s environmental impact around from taking away to giving back to the planet.
PaperCut is a print management software that helps organizations track and manage their printing. For 20+ years they’ve been an industry leader in reducing waste for 115 million users and counting.
