NZ Greens question Woolies about ’sustainable’ tissues
The Green Party is calling on Woolworths to reveal whether an inhouse brand of “sustainable” tissues they sell are in fact made from illegally felled Indonesian rainforests.
Reports from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) in recent days have thrown doubt on the “sustainable forest fibre” tag carried on the “Select” branded tissues, sold in Australia and New Zealand.
The ABC reported the paper products were sourced from Asia Pulp and Paper in Indonesia and recent reports indicated the company had been clearing rainforests.
