Paper firm posing threat to Indonesian forest: WWF

Item - "The firm defaulted on debt worth 6.7 billion dollars in March 2001..."

APP is a large part of the reason Beloit Corp went bankrupt. A great deal of that debt involved two mills and machines made by Beloit Corp and more of it involved Valmet (now Metso).

I worked at Beloit Corp for 21 years. Until 1999, for almost all of my life, Beloit Corp paychecks paid my bills. Ripples...

Item - "The report accuses APP of hiding "its continued destruction of natural tropical rainforests..."

The very first Staples branded copy and print papers came in large pallets wrapped with Asia Pulp and Paper (APP) labels. Staples no longer sources its paper from APP due to environmental concerns and issues.
(Look up staplessucks.??? someday.)

I've worked at Staples since spring of 2000. Ripples...

It's a small, small, small world.
