PCNA—Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based parent company of suppliers Leed’s (PPAI 112361, S13), Bullet (PPAI 113079, S12), Journalbooks (PPAI 110769, S10), Trimark (PPAI 198982, S10) and ETS Express (PPAI 135148, S11)—is expanding its family of brands with the addition of tentree, an earth-first sustainable apparel brand. This partnership supports PCNA’s focus of bringing more sustainable items to the promotional products market.
“We are ecstatic to bring tentree to promo with the launch of 16 styles, all made from eco-friendly materials,” says Kate Boyce, vice president of PCNA Apparel. “tentree is a company dedicated to making a more sustainable future for all, and one very important way they are doing that is by planting 10 trees for every item sold. We are incredibly excited to share their mission with our distributor partners and cannot wait to see the impact we can make together. We love that anyone who receives a tentree style can track the trees planted from the sale of that item by registering their tree code at tentree.com. What an amazing way to see just how easy it can be to make a difference.”
Derrick Emsley, co-founder and CEO of tentree, adds, “Through our partnerships with charitable organizations across the world, we’ve been able to plant millions of trees and rehabilitate natural ecosystems. We believe that big changes start small and in talking with the team at PCNA, we saw firsthand how they are making changes as an organization to bring more eco-friendly and sustainable items to the promotional products industry. We’re thrilled to bring a selection of our styles to the promo marketplace and cannot wait to see the positive impact that this industry can have on the environment.”
