BioPak has announced a partnership with restoration platform veritree, committing to fund the planting of almost 60,000 verified trees over the next 18 months as part of ecosystem restoration projects in British Columbia, Canada, and Tanzania.
According to BioPak, the partnership introduces a verification system that uses veritree’s technology platform to monitor each planting session through real-time field data.
The company said the platform enables tracking of restoration outcomes, including biodiversity, water systems, land recovery, local livelihoods and estimated carbon sequestration.
BioPak founder Richard Fine said the initiative builds on the company’s tree planting program, which began in 2010.
“Planting trees has been part of who we are since 2010, but this partnership takes our commitment to a new level,” Fine said.
“With veritree, our restoration efforts are triple-verified, backed by photo evidence and walking paths, and we’re able to measure the real impact on ecosystems and communities. That accountability is exactly what meaningful climate action requires.”
As part of the partnership, BioPak has launched a publicly accessible Impact Hub that provides real-time updates on its restoration activities.Â
According to the company, the platform allows customers, partners and other stakeholders to view planting progress, project locations, restored land area, tree species and estimated carbon sequestration.
BioPak said the initiative expands its existing environmental restoration program, which has resulted in the planting of 210,630 trees through partnerships with Rainforest Rescue, Greenfleet, Ecologi and other environmental organisations since 2010.
David Luba, Head of Partnerships at veritree, said the collaboration reflects a focus on measuring restoration outcomes.
“Our platform was built to bring transparency and trust to nature restoration,” Luba said.
“BioPak’s commitment to measuring real outcomes, rather than simply counting trees, demonstrates the kind of leadership needed to scale meaningful environmental action.”
The company said the latest commitment also supports its broader sustainability strategy, noting that 95 per cent of its products are made from renewable materials and 74 per cent of its paper and wood products are FSC-certified.
BioPak said the announcement builds on its Give Back Fund program, which has supported tree planting and environmental restoration initiatives for more than 15 years.
The company also referenced United Nations data indicating that forests cover about 31 per cent of the Earth’s land area, while nearly 100 million hectares have been lost since 1990, positioning the new commitment as a contribution to global landscape restoration efforts.
