Others watching Asia Pulp & Paper

Here's a link that's really interesting. This group is documenting what APP has been doing illegally.

This is what Woolworths uses to make their Select brand toilet paper. Hardly what you'd call sustainable!

This link shows the intimidation tactics used on local villagers by the company. There is a long history of this behaviour by APP and its subsiduaries, and it continues now -

More pix of the packaging

These are some more pix of the packaging of Woolworths Select brand. See the labels that say it's sourced from sustainable forest fibre.

Totally misleading!!!

I'll get some more links up soon that show more about what Woolworths keeps doing to knowingly deceive the public.

False Advertising & False Labelling

These are some of the products they sell, labelled as being environmentally friendly, when Woolworths know full well they're not.

Here is some stuff that I've sourced about their supplier online. Friends of the Earth wrote a paper on APP (who supplies pulp to Woolworths)

Welcome to the lies Woolworths tells you

I’ve started this blog with the aim of letting people know what’s going on inside their shopping trolley.

So you know that Woolworths are stocking up their shelves with their own "Select" brand.

About two months ago I found out that Woolworths have been using a supplier for their paper (tissues, toilet paper etc) that sources the paper pulp by logging old growth forests in Asia.

I've never really been much of a greenie, but what pisses me off is that Woolworths package the stuff with all of these claims of "environmental sustainability". Have a look at their labeling. It's a total lie. Woolworths' supplier, a company called APP (Asia Pulp & Paper) have a whole history of crooked dealings, and an absolutely atrocious environmental record.

I've sourced some info on this company, and will post it up in the next few days.
