High Conservation Value forests including the Southern Forests, the Great Western Tiers and the Tarkine continue to be threatened by logging for woodchips. North Forest products supplies Australian Paper with native forest woodchips, which are converted into the Reflex brand of copy paper. There is a direct association between white paper and clearfelled forests. By boycotting Reflex you will be helping to put pressure on both North and Amcor to change their destructive practices. If you or your business owns a photocopier, use recycled paper.
Most photocopiers can now handle recycled paper, and paper costs are now relatively competitive.
Let them know that you are boycotting this product, that you have told your family, friends and work mates to do so as well, and why. International Action North has a number of international outlets that could be targeted overseas. There are considerable opportunities for pressuring North via associated companies overseas. A strategy is to establish relations with these companies, and to provide them with the information contained in this report. Depending on the level of support you receive, provide the company with your list of demands and ask it to write to North and express its concern that its Australian activities are having negative impacts on its subsidiaries overseas.
