Funding is a result of Waytek's ongoing initiative that invites customers to choose digital versions of its product catalog and billing statements.
CHANHASSEN, Minn., Dec. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Electrical components distributor . has announced funding for 3,000 more trees to be planted by Eden: People+Planet (formerly Eden Reforestation Projects), a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that works in developing countries to rebuild natural landscapes destroyed by deforestation. This brings the total number of trees funded by Waytek to 43,000 since 2021.
Waytek has funded the trees as part of its annual "Go Green" campaigns, which invite customers to use a digital version of Waytek's annual product catalog or to receive digital billing statements. Nearly 2,500 customers have made the switch. The trees will be planted in high-priority sites around the world that are suffering from deforestation and severe poverty.
"We are pleased that so many customers have joined our efforts to make a positive environmental impact, and we're delighted make another annual contribution in support of healthy forests," said Wade Mattson, Vice President of Marketing and eCommerce at Waytek. "Some customers still prefer printed catalogs and billing. But many others will choose digital options if they are given the chance."
Waytek's annual product catalog, published every February, features thousands of DC electrical components and wire. The catalog has been a popular resource for customers ever since it was introduced more than 40 years ago.
With the digital version, customers can get the information they need in the same layout and page format as the printed version—with the ability to click through to order directly from the Waytek website.
