CHANHASSEN, Minn., March 5, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Electrical components distributor Waytek, Inc. has announced funding for 20,000 trees to be planted by Eden Reforestation Projects, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that works in developing countries to rebuild natural landscapes destroyed by deforestation.
Waytek is funding the 20,000 trees in fulfillment of its recent "Go Green" campaign, which invited customers to use a digital version of its annual product catalog. Nearly 1,000 customers made the switch. In response, Waytek will pay for 20 trees to be planted in honor of each customer. The trees will be planted in high-priority sites around the world that are suffering from deforestation and severe poverty.
"We thank our customers who have joined our efforts to make a positive environmental impact and we're delighted to contribute to the growth of healthy forests," said Kristi Gloppen, Vice President of Marketing and eCommerce at Waytek. "We will continue to provide our printed catalog to customers who prefer it and are pleased to offer a digital alternative to others."
Waytek's annual product catalog, published every February, features thousands of 12-volt electrical components and wire.
"The Waytek catalog has been a popular resource for customers for more than 40 years," said Jen Gieseke, Catalog Manager, Waytek. "With the digital version, customers can view the information they have come to rely on in the same layout and page format as the printed version—with the added ability to click through to order."
