#paperpulp — Public Fediverse posts

@Deus @[email protected] The biggest importers of Indonesian palm oil is actually China and India. #Paperpulp exports, which are linked to even more #humanrights abuses, are almost all destined for #China.

btw I block #genocide deniers - doesn't matter if they're denying what's happening in #Gaza or #Tibet and #EastTurkistan / #Xinjiang, or elsewhere.

I was curious to look into how NGOs in #SoutheastAsia, #China, and the West, were dealing with this challenge. Quite fittingly, a report came out as I was working on this piece, connected an infamous Indonesia conglomerate, #RoyalGoldenEagle, with a new #Kalimantan factory that would send nearly all its of #paperpulp to one country: #China.

But one thing has changed dramatically – the main buyers of high-risk tropical commodities. Then, it was primarily brands in the #US, #Europe & #Japan that played a key role.

Today, it’s #China. The world’s top imported of #soy #rubber #paperpulp, and second for palm oil (behind India).

I initially went to #Indonesia, back in 2011, because of the country’s troubling history with deforestation, driven primarily, historically, by demand for tropical commodities including #palmoil #paperpulp & #rubber.

In the past decade, as I’ve covered these issues for numerous outlet, much has changed. In some ways there has been real progress in increasing traceability and stemming deforestation, but at the same time, much of the supply chain remains opaque.

Yay #PaperPulp (used in #papermaking) is being used as a medium by someone in last week's Landscape Artist of the Year #LAoTY
