toilet paper to avoid... 'Kiwi soft', 'Cottonsoft', 'PASEO', 'Signature Range', 'Sorbent', 'Quiltion'. Please use this brand of toilet paper... 'budget', 'Purex', 'pams', 'Home Brand', 'Red Stamp', 'Earthcare', 'Earth Smart'

Awesome move Warehouse - ban it - as above, if APP, that is a good enough reason not to stock it. WE HAVE ENOUGH OTHER GOOD CHOICES!!! If only all retailers would follow the lead and get eco-approved products, these sort of practices would halt pretty darn quickly. I am always very proud when we respond to this sort of information so quickly. Let's move it a total boycott.

Companies need to learn to be transparent if they don't want to be hung out to dry. Cottonsoft if you have nothing to be ashamed of them disclose. There are plenty of other brands we can choose from.
Greenpeace please disclose a list of all the toilet papers and where they are from.

even in the unlikely event that the 'cottonsoft' brand isn't sourcing its paper from the Indonesian Rainforest, the brand is still owned by APP who openly admits to the deforestation of this land. BOYCOTT!!!!

"Greenpeace had Cottonsoft's toilet paper sampled by an independent laboratory in America after the company refused to disclose where it was sourcing its paper from."

It says it all right here. Why not tell them where you get the paper from if you have nothing to hide.
