An eight-month long investigation by Greenpeace, the Green Party and WWF-New Zealand into exactly where the toilet paper sold in New Zealand originates has come up with the shocking finding that Auckland based company Cottonsoft is sourcing its toilet paper from rainforests in Indonesia, home of the critically-endangered Sumatran tiger. Only 400 Sumatran Tigers are estimated to remain in the wild
Cottonsoft New Zealand is a subsidiary of the infamous conglomerate Asia Pulp and Paper (APP). APP has been blacklisted as a supplier by major companies around the world like Kraft, Nestle, Unilever, Tesco and Carrefour. These companies do not countenance the unethical rain forest destruction of APP.
Greenpeace, the Green Party and WWF-New Zealand have appealed to retailers to stop stocking Cottonsoft and other APP Products until the company agrees to end rainforest destruction.
