WWF says they have contacted the 20 U.S. grocery chains who they believe to be the largest retailers of Paseo products, in an effort to convince them to discontinue sales.

Eight retailers -- including Kmart, Kroger and SUPERVALU -- have recently agreed to stop selling paper products made from APP fiber. The other 12, listed below, "did not respond or commit to stopping Paseo sales," according to WWF.

The CEO of Oasis Brands, which owns Paseo and Livi, said in a recent letter, "Continuous, rigorous auditing has proven APP products are made from sustainable sources and meet well-established sustainability standards."

In 2011, toymaker Mattel announced that it would no longer package Barbie dolls with paper products made by APP. An APP spokesperson said in response, "Asia Pulp and Paper applauds Mattel's commitments to recycling, wood, legality, protection of High Conservation Value Forest, respect for the rights of indigenous peoples and robust auditing and certification procedures. These principles very much mirror APP's philosophy and environmental commitments and we are delighted to see a major global toy manufacturer adopt the same."

Thanks for the article.... will pass it on . Deb, the Paseo or Livi products may in some other brand name's product, because I don't the Mattel toys were specifically labeled as paper made from APP's paper.

Noted- Greenpeace has been saying this for years- and actually got BANNED from re-entering Indonesia for gathering forensic evidence that what is in paper products comes directly from the Indonesian Rainforest.

It's killing tigers, and has the orangutans all but extinct.

noted, we buy only recycled paper tp....don't know why we have to be using any newly tree murdered paper products at all....just need to do a better job conserving, recycling......there are lots of quality options that shouldn't be causing any forests/trees to be cut down at all....but too many just want the cheapest and softest rather than thinking of how even necessary actions will effect the world today and tomorrow...

My sense of ethics usually rules how I shop and aside form not having those products in the northeast as far as I knowI go for brands that are recycled. I don't need fancy toilet paper that is extra soft as that also takes atoll on the environment. I never claim to be perfect but I try to shop in the best way I can. The pictures of the used to be forest and the paper mill were quite depressing. APP needs to be shut out by enough companies to make them change their ways and I hope that happens before it is too late. the clock is ticking and tie is limited.

Mine is not!!!!
