Combining Passions Proved the Right Recipe for Difference Maker Jordan Darragh
The timeless cliché follows that if you do something you love for a career, you’ll never work a day in your life. When Jordan Darragh found that not to be the case when it came to making a living in the printing industry, he walked away from it.
PrintReleaf announced that its reforestation rate, reflecting the broad acceptance of its service among print service providers, nearly tripled in the last twelve months, to nearly a quarter-million copier pages per month in June 2017. Since the service was introduced in 2014, PrintReleaf has planted more than 465,000 standard trees—the equivalent of some 3.9 billion standard copier sheets.
Later this year PrintReleaf is introducing new software at Print 2017, a major exhibition in the USA, to help brands and print buyers to perform their own calculations. Printers can use this software to measure customers’ environmental performance and how well or otherwise they meet specific goals. This idea seems to be much more credible than carbon offsetting schemes, in that there is a direct link between printing companies and tree planting. And if PrintReleaf and SGS can build a viable revenue stream on the back of it, so much the better because environmental protection and commerce are inextricably entwined.
