Tree planting

For every three fruit crates we deliver, we plant one tree. Together with Ripple Africa, we’re greening Malawi, capturing CO₂, and creating jobs for local communities.

Three crates. One tree.

More green. Less CO₂.

Forests are the lungs of our planet. They give us oxygen and capture CO₂ — better than anything else. Together with Ripple Africa, we plant one tree for every three fruit crates we deliver. This way we offset CO₂, restore nature, and provide work for local people.

Why is it needed?

The problem

In Malawi, forests are disappearing faster than they can regrow. Trees are cut down daily for farming, housing, and firewood. The result: depleted soil, drought, fewer animals, and more CO₂ in the air. A problem that doesn’t stop at Malawi’s borders — it affects us all.

The solution

Together with farmers, schools, and local communities, we plant new trees. They restore the soil, provide habitats for wildlife, and absorb CO₂. We also share knowledge on sustainable land use. Because when people understand the value of nature, they’ll take care of it.

More impact, bite after bite

Less CO₂

Each tree captures about 10 kilos of CO₂ per year. Good for the climate — today and tomorrow.

Quarterly updates

Every quarter, your team receives an update showing how many trees you’ve planted.

Social impact

More trees also mean more jobs and income for families in Malawi. For a better future.

About Ripple Africa

Ripple Africa is a local foundation in Malawi working with villages to fight deforestation. They plant, care for, and protect trees. Growing new forests — and new opportunities for the people who live there.

Since 2010, we’ve been working together. Thanks to the support of our customers, the project has become one of the largest tree planting initiatives in Malawi. Millions of young trees are already growing — and with every fruit crate, more are added.
