I have contacted a lot of Icelandic companies in the last week and have gotten some replies. Some people were extremely helpful and interested while others were not but that is to be expected. I am waiting for further information from Myllan and Frón and a few others have not responded. Tips on new companies that I may not have heard of are welcome!
Palm oil free companies:
Erpsstaðir - home made ice cream and cheeses.
Urtasmiðjan - skin products from Icelandic herbs.
Vallarnes Móðir jörð - organic farm.
Villimey - skin products from Icelandic herbs.
Iðnmark - crisps, popcorn etc.
Sælusápur - soaps
Companies using palm oil from Aarhus Karlshamn:
Nói Síríus - sweets
Góa Linda - sweets
Kólus Sambó - sweets
Aarhus Karlshamn is a founder member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil but that doesnt guarantee the consumers they are buying sustainable products since only a small portion of palm oil in the world is sustainable. This company seems on paper to be very environmentally friendly and they have a policy on palm oil. If anyone knows more about them please let me know :)
More to come!! :)
