Protests at KFC Outlets in UK

Greenpeace activists dressed as orangutans brought a huge KFC bucket to the company’s headquarters in Woking and also to a large KFC outlet in Oxford Street in central London. They are highlighting how paper and cardboard packaging for their food is made from tropical wood from the Indonesian rainforests. Greenpeace’s 12 month investigation found that of 13 boxes of KFC bought, 10 had significant levels of mixed tropical hard wood. Samples from a box bought from Christchurch KFC contained 53% mixed tropical hardwood whilst a sample from a box bought from the branch in Tooting contained 57% mixed tropical hardwood. At the Crouch End branch the testing found 36% in a KFC box.
