Every minute, an area the size of 27 football pitches is lost to deforestation, much of it driven by palm oil production. This common ingredient, found in everything from snacks to cleaning products, has become a major contributor to the destruction of tropical forests. The result? Increased carbon emissions, devastating biodiversity loss, and the acceleration of climate change.
The Shocking Impact of Palm Oil
Palm oil is the main culprit behind massive deforestation, particularly in Southeast Asia, South America, and tropical Africa. Clearing these forests to grow palm oil plantations leads to severe environmental consequences. Fires are often used to clear land, releasing harmful toxins into the air and worsening air quality. The UN reports that tropical deforestation is happening at a rate of 1.3 million square kilometres per decade.
But it’s not just trees we’re losing. Wildlife, including endangered species like orangutans and tigers, are losing their homes. Forests also act as vital carbon sinks—without them, global warming speeds up. This is a crisis that we cannot ignore.
Why We Need to Change Our Lifestyles
The true cost of palm oil isn’t just in the destruction of forests; it’s in the choices we make. Every time we buy products with palm oil, we contribute to this environmental nightmare. We must start rethinking our habits—from the food we eat to the products we buy.
If we continue to use palm oil at this rate, we could face irreparable damage. Global temperatures will rise, and more species will disappear. It’s time to change, and it starts with choosing sustainable alternatives.
A Better Alternative: Palm Tree Sap
At Palmtree Hygiene, we’ve found an innovative solution. Our sanitiser is made from palm tree sap, not palm oil. Unlike the devastating palm oil industry, our process does no harm to the palm trees. The sap regenerates quickly, meaning the trees continue to thrive, absorb carbon, and support local biodiversity.
This eco-friendly approach allows us to produce a high-quality sanitiser that is not only kind to the planet but also gentle on your skin. Our product contains fewer ingredients than traditional sanitisers, ensuring it’s safe and nourishing for your hands. Packed with essential vitamins and amino acids, it leaves your skin feeling hydrated and soft, unlike harsh, alcohol-based products that dry your hands.
Unlike chemical-laden sanitisers, Palmtree Hygiene is vegan, sustainable, and effective—proven to meet World Health Organization standards for bacteria and virus protection.
