Clearpoint Recycling Partner with Evertreen
Extending our commitment to supporting recycling and empowering a more sustainable future Clearpoint Recycling has partnered with Evertreen to offset carbon emissions from the shipment of recyclable material.
For every load of material they ship, a tree will be planted through Evertreen’s reforestation projects. This initiative not only helps to mitigate the environmental impact of their logistics operations but also contributes to global reforestation efforts, supporting biodiversity and local communities.

About Evertreen
Reforestation in Madagascar
Discover how Clearpoint Recycling and Evertreen’s Madagascar Reforestation Project is restoring critical ecosystems, combating deforestation, and supporting local communities for a sustainable future.
Introduction
Madagascar has lost over 90% of its primary forests, and this deforestation has had devastating effects on the people living there, many of whom are in extreme poverty. The loss of these forests is a huge problem, making Madagascar one of the world’s top priorities for biodiversity conservation because of its unique species and rapid habitat loss. Let’s explore how Evertreen’s reforestation project is making a difference.
The Crisis of Deforestation in Madagascar
Deforestation and Biodiversity
Madagascar is a treasure trove of unique species, but deforestation is putting them at risk. Biodiversity, the variety of life on Earth, is essential for healthy ecosystems, human well-being, and resilience to environmental changes. Losing forests affects not only plants and animals but also local communities that rely on these natural resources.
When forests are cut down, the habitats of countless species are destroyed, leading to declines in their populations. This is especially critical in Madagascar, where many species are found nowhere else in the world. The reduction in tree cover also affects soil quality and water cycles, further endangering the island’s unique flora and fauna.
Impacts of Climate Change
Coastal deforestation destabilizes the coastline, making communities more vulnerable to frequent and intense storms caused by climate change. The upland dry deciduous forests, which are among the world’s rarest and most diverse, also need urgent protection.
The impacts of climate change are severe, with increased coastal erosion, saltwater intrusion into freshwater systems, and more frequent and intense storms. The loss of mangroves, which act as natural barriers against these forces, worsens the vulnerability of coastal communities. Inland, deforestation contributes to rising temperatures and altered rainfall patterns, affecting agriculture and water supplies.
