Turning Point Brands’ Zig-Zag Partners with One Tree Planted to Launch Burn One / Plant One Program

Turning Point Brands, Inc. (“TPB” or the “Company”) (NYSE: TPB), a manufacturer, marketer and distributor of branded consumer products, including alternative smoking accessories and consumables with active ingredients, today announced that its iconic brand Zig-Zag has partnered with One Tree Planted, a non-profit 501(c)(3) environmental tree planting charity, to launch the new Burn One / Plant One program. Focused on fostering a healthy climate, protecting biodiversity and helping global reforestation efforts, the program’s mission is to help restore forests in the U.S. to offset carbon emissions that are produced from paper products.

“In 2020, devastating wildfires swept across the country, destroying more than 4 million acres in California alone,” said Ryan Parker, Brand Manager, Zig-Zag. “As Zig-Zag is a leading paper goods producer in the cannabis space, it is our responsibility, with our customers’ help, to do our part in preserving forests and offsetting our carbon footprint through paper production. We look forward to launching this new initiative with One Tree Planted in an effort to preserve our planet’s beauty and health. Additionally, as part of our continued commitment to environmental sustainability, we recognize that processing wood and paper is a fundamental part of our brand. As such, our goal is to be carbon-neutral by 2031.”

Through the Burn One / Plant One program, a tree will be planted in a California forest for every online customer purchase above $15 that’s made through the Zig-Zag website. This partnership will enable thousands of trees to be planted to help restore these forests, which suffered more damage from wildfires in 2020 than in any other year.

Turning Point Brands’ Zig-Zag rolling paper products use trees that are responsibly selected and harvested, with environmental impact being a top priority for the wood fiber papers. Zig-Zag chooses wood from carefully controlled logging operations that meet strict criteria, such as those set forth by Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification and from areas that best preserve biological diversity.
