Introducing Forest Positive printing

Being Forest Positive transforms printing from causing a negative environmental footprint to a positive force for ecological renewal.

The PaperCut Grows program

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.


Forest Positive printing

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.

Forest Positive printing is a targeted sustainability practice, offering more than paper waste and emissions reductio. Instead it tips the scales into an environmental surplus.

About PaperCut

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.

PaperCut Grows

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..

Proposed title: Forest Positive Printing with PaperCut Grows

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.

What is Forest Positive?

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.

What is Forest Positive printing?

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.

Insert paragraph about organization’s own sustainability story

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)

Forest Positive printing with PaperCut software

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.

Forest Positive practices offer more than waste and emissions reduction, it transforms business practices into delivering a surplus for the environment. Through Forest Positive policies, organizations become active contributors to conserving and sustaining our ecosystem. Forest Positive is the next evolution in sustainability, ensuring a tomorrow for people and planet.

Our Forest Positive printing impact

Thanks to PaperCut and their Forest Positive printing program, our organization has planted X trees in X locations - as chosen by our people.

Our printing has been Forest Positive by planting more trees than we’ve used for paper. This breaks down to X trees planted against X.XX trees used for our printed documents. A mature tree absorbs 42 pounds of CO2 annually. These trees we’ve planted will keep us Forest Positive for XX years and XX weeks.
