KFC is going Green! After ditching the
packaging suppliers accused of using materials harvested from protected
forests.
Greenpeace investigation found that some of
U.K. KFC's stores are using packaging contained significant levels of mixed tropical
hardwood, clearly a sign of using rainforest timber.
Recently, U.K. KFC updated its policy statement on packaging sourcing after coming under fire from Greenpeace in May for its links to companies accused of logging Indonesian rainforests. Number of these products was tracked back to Asia
Pulp & Paper, one of the largest pulp and paper manufacturers
in the world currently based in Singapore.
U.K. KFC has now said it will only work with suppliers that can
"demonstrate sustainable forestry management throughout their supply
chain and that are not actively involved in rain forest clearance."
