FAQ's
How does planting a tree benefit communities globally?
A: In partnership with Eden Reforestation Projects and facilitated by our Sprout extension, every item you purchase from us contributes to a global reforestation effort. This collaboration has a profound impact on ecological restoration and employment in areas of need:
1. Madagascar: Management of over 42,800 hectares of forest and employment for more than 3,480 people.
2. Mozambique: Reforestation of over 114,125 hectares, providing over 1,255 jobs.
3. Kenya: Over 46,325 hectares of managed forests and 850 job opportunities created.
4. Ethiopia: More than 2,360 hectares under management and job creation for at least 5 people.
We go beyond the standard one tree per order model—every product you buy means one more tree planted, intensifying your positive impact across the globe.
Can customers choose which country their trees will be planted in?
Currently, the tree planting is allocated across our projects in Madagascar, Mozambique, Kenya, and Ethiopia to where it's most needed. However, we are exploring options to allow customers to select their preferred reforestation region in the future.
Are the trees planted native to the regions where they're grown?
Absolutely. Eden Reforestation Projects prioritizes the planting of native species to promote natural biodiversity and ensure the ecological integrity of the habitats being restored.
How can I verify that a tree was planted with my purchase?
Transparency is key in our mission. Once your order is processed, you'll receive a confirmation from Sprout which includes details of the tree planting your purchase has facilitated.
Do you have any plans to expand the tree planting initiative?
Yes, we are actively looking into ways to expand our environmental efforts, including the possibility of planting trees on American soil to bring our reforestation impact closer to home.
What is the environmental impact of the products themselves?
We pride ourselves on using sustainable materials and methods in our production to minimize environmental impact. Plus, our zero-waste initiative ensures that all 3D printed material waste is repurposed.
