This is spiffy, so allow us to Post-it: Office supply giant Staples has cut off all contracts with gigantic Asia Pulp & Paper, citing concern that APP feeds Indonesian and Chinese rainforest into its pulp mills. In recent years, other businesses including Office Depot have quit dealings with APP over environmental concerns, but Staples had stuck with ’em. Now, though, Staples’ Vice President for Environmental Issues Mark Buckley says that staying with APP would be “at great peril to our brand.” Kudos to all you office suppliers who talked up rainforest destruction while purchasing your label makers.
