Portland, OR – PAYNTR Golf, the fastest-growing footwear brand in golf, is proud to announce a ‘literal groundbreaking’ partnership with Evertreen, a reforestation and environmental sustainability organization. This collaboration will combine PAYNTR Golf’s commitment to innovation with Evertreen’s mission to restore wild areas worldwide through strategic reforestation efforts.
Starting in November 2024, for every 10 pairs of PAYNTR Golf shoes purchased, a tree will be planted in Oregon’s forests. This will support Evertreen’s mission to offset CO2 emissions and enhance the natural environments golf courses and communities depend on. Golf consumers will be able to track the progress of this partnership daily with a live impact tracker on the PAYNTR Golf website.
We’re eager to partner with PAYNTR Golf to bring reforestation into the heart of the golf community and make a tangible environmental impact,” said Dan Ciufo, Co-Founder of Evertreen. “This collaboration reflects our shared vision for a sustainable future, where each step taken on and off the course supports the health of our planet. By planting trees together, we’re not only offsetting carbon but also fostering biodiversity and supporting local communities. We look forward to seeing the lasting benefits of this partnership.”
Environmental Impact and Reforestation Efforts
The partnership will see Evertreen planting a designated number of trees every month, directly contributing to the reforestation of Oregon’s wild areas, which are vital to the state’s ecosystem. With PAYNTR Golf’s support, Evertreen will offset over 35.90 tons of CO2 emissions, helping to combat climate change and promote healthier environments.
Evertreen empowers individuals and businesses to plant real trees online, monitor their growth through photos and satellite updates, and make a positive environmental impact. Dedicated to restoring critical landscapes, Evertreen collaborates with local communities and environmental groups to ensure each tree strengthens biodiversity, supports local livelihoods, and contributes to long-term forest sustainability.
“‘We do our small part and continue as a brand to reduce our environmental footprint, utilizing recycled footwear boxes, tissue paper, foot forms, water-based primers, and cement,” said Mike Forsey, Co-Founder and President of PAYNTR Golf. “We also continue to work with all our current material suppliers to find more sustainable options for our footwear offerings.”
Golf and the Environment: A Shared Commitment
Golf courses thrive on well-maintained landscapes, and this partnership demonstrates PAYNTR Golf’s commitment to preserving these spaces. As part of the collaboration, PAYNTR Golf customers will contribute to reforestation efforts with every shoe purchase, directly supporting the environmental health in Oregon, where wildlands and recreational spaces converge.
PAYNTR Golf is dedicated to practicing sustainability wherever possible in the design and production of their footwear. Each pair of PAYNTR Golf shoes comes in a box crafted from recycled materials, with tissue paper also made from recycled sources, reducing waste at every stage of the packaging process. Inside, the foot forms are also made from recycled materials, helping to minimize the brand’s overall environmental footprint. PAYNTR Golf is further committed to using chemical-free cement and nonchemical-treated full-grain leather, ensuring that each pair not only meets high-performance standards but is also created with a lower impact on the environment. By implementing these thoughtful choices, PAYNTR Golf is working toward a more sustainable future in golf footwear.
The collaboration also creates job opportunities, generating working hours for local communities who play a vital role in these reforestation projects. Through this initiative, PAYNTR Golf and Evertreen are working to ensure the game of golf continues to have a minimal environmental footprint while promoting the restoration of forests and ecosystems.
