Will the project expand to other places needing trees besides Madagascar, and how will those locations be chosen?
Currently, we’re focusing on the Madagascar region, but we might help other places, too. We’ll research and talk to experts to find where we can help the most. All information will be regularly updated on the website.
If you need more details, feel free to ask!
Have there been any studies to see how the project is helping the environment besides just reducing carbon emissions?
As this initiative is new, we have yet to exact statistics on its impact. But you can find estimated figures for now in the Brand Store. In three months, we’ll have the first set of project data available, which you can access on our website or in the Brand Store.
If you need more details, feel free to ask!
Are there plans to involve customers in the tree planting process, such as allowing them to choose the location or species of trees for their contributions?
Smart Ink Forest donations are currently used to plant Rhizophora mucronata and Ceriops tagal trees in the Madagascar region. That’s how our project works right now. We’ll keep you informed as soon as there are any changes.
You can also check out our forest on the Tree Nation platform, which is engaged in tree planting. Here is the link: https://tree-nation.com/profile/smart-ink.

Can I plant more trees if I buy one cartridge?
With each ink cartridge bought, you donate to planting one tree! Right now, that’s how the project works. We’ll be sure to keep you informed as soon as there are any changes.

Why plant trees if they won't change the impact of cartridge production?
We understand that producing cartridges is harmful, and our efforts might only fix some things.
But we’re working on ways to minimize the impact of production and planning more projects like this in the future. As soon as there are any changes, we’ll be sure to keep you informed.
If you need more details, feel free to ask!
Why are you doing an eco-initiative and, at the same time, creating additional cards about the initiative that are potentially harmful to the environment?
Spreading any initiative, even eco-initiatives, requires using promotional materials to reach a wider audience. While minimizing the environmental impact of such materials is crucial, it’s also important to recognize that with them, many people may be aware of the initiative and its goals.
