An exhaustive Australian Customs investigation into the long term supplier of Woolworths’ Select Brand tissue products has found that Indonesian based Asia Pulp and Paper has breached global trade rules by as much as 38%.
Indonesian and Chinese subsidiaries of the discredited paper manufacturer were part of the investigation.
'APP are bad news on every front. Environmentally, on labour standards, socially and now, we find they use bogus pricing policies to compete unfairly. Its great news that Customs has caught APP out and the publicity makes it near impossible for Woolworths or other retailers to go back to them in the future.' Said Tim Woods the spokesperson for the Wake Up Woolworths! Campaign.
'APP should pack up their bags and stop trying to force their bodgy products onto Australian consumers.' Woods said
Woolworths recently dumped Asia Pulp and Paper as the supplier of its Select Brand tissue products.
