Welcome to PalmOilFree.co.uk
Hi, so it's time I got rid of the default text and said why I wanted this site. So, I spun up this site because I am really bothered about palm oil, it's prevalence in products, the damage to the environment and the Orang Utans livelihood. I want to provide information on this, as well as show the impact it has. I'm by no means an expert, but I've seen heartbreaking footage which I never really got over of an Orang Utan trying to fight off the bulldozer destroying their home. We have to try to do better. I also intend to showcase people and companies who do not use palm oil in their products so we can hopefully start to turn the tide somehow. And also show companies who do.

The Plight of the Orangutans
Unsustainable palm oil production is one of the leading drivers of rainforest loss in Borneo and Sumatra, the only places on Earth where wild orangutans still live. As forests are cleared for plantations, orangutans lose their homes, food sources, and safe routes to move and feed.
Many orangutans are injured or killed in the process. By choosing palm‑oil‑free products—or supporting brands using genuinely sustainable alternatives—you help reduce pressure on these fragile ecosystems and protect one of our closest relatives in the animal kingdom.
PalmOilFree.co.uk is here to make that journey easier and to keep the connection clear between what we buy and what happens in the forests.
A Small Change, A Big Impact
Every purchase is a vote. When enough people choose responsibly, companies listen. Together we can:
- Support ethical brands that avoid harmful palm oil.
- Reduce deforestation and protect remaining rainforests.
- Protect endangered wildlife, including orangutans and countless other species.
- Encourage sustainable farming practices that respect people, animals, and the planet.
This site is here to empower those choices and to grow a community that cares.
