Orangutans are facing extinction due to the unsustainable production of palm oil  – an ingredient that is found in nearly half of the products you see on supermarket shelves.  

But from right here in Australia, you have the power to help protect rainforests in Asia that are home to orangutans, tigers, gibbons, otters and more.  

Just a few simple swaps in your weekly shop can help put a stop to excessive habitat destruction and make the world safer for these endangered species.  

And trust us, your favourite snacks will taste better when you know they’re forest-friendly! 

Download the PalmOilScan app to find out if your groceries are orangutan-friendly.

What can I do? 

Download the PalmOilScan app and make sure you’re supporting businesses that are committed to using Certified Sustainable Palm Oil.   

Using the app, you can scan barcodes or search products and find out whether it uses certified sustainable palm oil or is on a journey to do so.
