Boulder, Colorado, USA - PrintReleaf is expanding its partnership with Xerox as the latter company embarks on its innovative and industry leading Verified Carbon Neutrality Service for managed print services (MPS). In collaboration with Xerox, PrintReleaf has developed the logistics necessary to drive sustainability in MPS ahead, making it possible for Xerox clients around the world to work towards carbon neutrality for their printer fleets. This is the first of its kind in the print industry—MPS offering third-party verification according to the ISO 14068 Carbon Neutrality standard. PrintReleaf will issue a certified mix of carbon offset types, including reduction and avoidance, and vintages, in compliance with the standard.
Since 2018, PrintReleaf has provided Xerox accounts with its legacy reforestation service, used to offset the biomass of the equivalent number of trees used to produce the paper consumed. As of 2022, Xerox accounts have also had the option to add carbon offsets, addressing the emissions associated with the production of the paper running through an MPS printer fleet. It is typically determined that paper carbon emissions account for upwards of 50% of the total emissions associated with printer use.
To push further towards carbon neutrality, it is necessary to assess a broader scope of the carbon emissions associated with printing, across the entire lifecycle of a printer fleet. With this new chapter of the partnership, PrintReleaf will now facilitate Xerox clients in offsetting emissions associated with a more robust accounting of the carbon emissions of a fleet, from manufacturing, to shipping to warehouses, transporting devices to clients, the energy used in running those devices and the recycling and disposal management of the devices at the end of their useful life.
Wendi Latko, Vice President of Environment, Health, Safety and Sustainability at Xerox says, “We are thrilled to expand our partnership with PrintReleaf to include procurement of carbon credits that meet new ISO 14068 criteria for offsetting printer life cycle emissions. The partnership enables Xerox to further help our clients meet their broader sustainability objectives.”
