Ban the sale of products containing unsustainably sourced palm oil in the UK
Palm oil is found in 50% of supermarket products, from food to cleaners to cosmetics. It is a type of vegetable oil derived from palm oil fruit. This controversial ingredient may be present in some form in nearly every room of your home.
Its production destroys rainforests and biodiversity. The plight of orangutans has been a key feature of palm oil campaigns, due to 80% of their habitat being destroyed in the last 20 years and the serious risk they face of extinction in our lifetime.
Demand for palm oil has undergone a phenomenal growth and is expected to more than double by 2030 and triple by 2050
