Closed petition Make it mandatory for companies to label their environmental impact on packaging

Closed on 3 May 2017

The same way we have warnings on packs of cigarettes, we need to inform consumers on the negative effects some of their purchase have on the planet. As a start, we request "Palm Oil Kills" warnings (text & picture) covering 13% of front & back of packaging for products using unsustainable palm oil.

A large proportion of palm oil plantations are developed at the expense of biodiversity and ecosystems in the countries it is produced. Currently, a third of all mammal species in Indonesia are considered to be critically endangered as a consequence. Over 90% of orangutan habitat has been destroyed in the last 20 years and is considered “a conservation emergency” by the UN. An estimated 1000-5000 orangutans are killed each year for this development. More information can be found online.
