The PrintReleaf initiative is a crucial pillar of DCM’s sustainability strategy aimed at mitigating its environmental impact. PrintReleaf offers a software platform that measures paper consumption, calculates how many trees were harvested to produce that paper and replants the exact number of trees at global reforestation projects.

Since Atlantic Packaging Products joined the program in March 2022, DCM has planted 55,936 trees¹ on their behalf at sites throughout Northern California, British Columbia (Cariboo and Redstone), Romania, Mexico, France (Torce), Dominican Republic, and Madagascar.

“Our partnership with DCM demonstrates Atlantic Packaging Group of Companies’ values and commitments to environmental leadership and collaborative innovation,” said Larissa Fritzen, Plant Manager, Atlantic Packaging Products’ Retail Packaging & Display Division, Ontario. “As a corrugated packaging leader, we are redefining packaging solutions to meet industry demands and contribute to the best sustainable practices. The PrintReleaf initiative, an important part of our ESG strategy, helps reduce environmental impact and preserve resources for future generations.”

“We believe it’s our responsibility to operate more sustainably and we recognize that we’re a major part of our clients’ supply chains which is why we’re happy to make this program available to them,” said Richard Kellam, President & CEO of DCM. “Congratulations to Atlantic Packaging on having made such a significant impact on global reforestation. We can’t wait to see more companies hit this impressive milestone.”
