The refineries produce a wide range of transportation fuels for motorists, truckers and the airline industry. In the olefins plants, the company processes natural gas liquids into ethylene and propylene. In the polymers plants, those two products are processed into various forms of olypropylene, which are key ingredients in products such as consumer and healthcare products, packaging and other plastic products.

Bernie Sanders Speaks About The Koch Brothers
This report from the show The Young Turks explains that the Koch Brothers are backing a new organization trying to stop the rising tide of electric vehicle adoption. This would hurt petroleum producers like the Koch Brothers. The group is likely to run ads attacking the subsidies given to electric cars.
Quit being such a fool, If Koch Bros. Close down there companies wow will you wipe you behinds with your hands.
Look if there is not a change in the White House in 4 Years we will look and act like the mobs in Egypt.
Grow some Ethical Balls and face the truth no matter what, Benghazi is a tragedy that needs to be exposed now. When our president says we leave no man left behind we need to ask his definition of what “No Man Left Behind” means is it like Bill Clinton with Define “IS”.
Thank you for the list, I don’t boycott, but i like to buycott.
Thanks for the list. I’ll buy as many of their products as possible from now on. Anything to pss off a commie lib.

i want romney to win. you know why? because he will pull this country down the drain, and hopefully all the remaining businesses in these united states. thomas jefferson spoke the truth and it still rings in my mind- if you let big banks control your monetary system, you can say goodbye to your rights! Republicans and Democrats, they are all the same. This country has nothing to be proud of except mind-boggling arrogance and corporate greed! Let us take America back from these evil-reincarnates!
In times of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act…Friends, Americans, Countrymen!
Lend me your ears, for I have come to bury everything that had ever defined America, but the truth…the evil that men do, are often interred with their bones…
I will never buy your products again. I will pass the word around and tell people never to buy your products.
OBAMA WINS||!!!!!!!!!!!!! now lets tax the Koch ass wipes
Worker’s need 50% pay increase. 4 weeks vacation, pension provided by the Koch Brothers and a medical, dental, and eye 100%
provided by the Koch Brothers. No obamacare for your company. I will tax you now
Kimberly Clark makes better products than Koch Brothers.
We will all pray to God for their downfall for their belief and actions they take for faiure. If anyone can do it the Almighty can. I personally will look for other products than theirs for survival and will pass the word. Poor excuses for human beings. Glad they lost some of their money backing a loser like themselves. They will go to hell when they die.
How are we ever supposed to avoid everything they make?! They own so much!
I watched the documentary on the Koch brothers last night and was very concerned for this country. I think it is disgraceful for a group of people to have this much control. I believe these brothers have sold the their souls too the devil. Believe me there is a God who sits high and look low and is not pleased at the way American has become. Awake people of American if you don’t stand for something you will fall for anything. Thanks for the list of products, I don’t like most of them anyway, the quality is awful. God Bless America
help to distroy the plutocrats, buy all local products and services. to boycott the Kochs we must build and do business with the real/true small businesses. Not the wolves in sheeps clothing…
Shame on the American people you allowed the Koch brothers to kill,murder and continue to take from the poor Americans dream is not this people wake up we got to do better then this boycott all Koch brothers products maybe we can win our Country back to Achieve that America Dream!!!!!
Thankfully, Dave & Chuckles Koch are a couple of Old Fogies. Soon, they’ll be drooling while eating, incontinent, nonambulatory and incoherent. 2012 was their last chance to try to purchase the USA via a Presidential-position purchase of Gov. Mittens.
Glad to see so many people Anti-Koch Bros. have posted on this website! Their brain-washing techniques should be a crime. Both of these evil old geezers belong in jail.
Can you suggest alternatives for the products you have listed, so that we can stop buying from them?
i think i like products from Koch Bros.
They’re cowards,” declared Whitmer, who bluntly declared: “They are taking away our rights.
Very Sad indeed…
Boycott Koch products. Click here.
jade-log
Thanks, added to my $hit list…
I just researched Kimberly Clark b/c I wanted to find out who makes Kleenex products. Their ‘bio’ is way better than the Koch brothers’ info found here. I’m switching to Kleenex Cottenelle. Used it in a hotel and like it better than Northern quilted, so it’s an easy change. Bounty is better than Brawny too, as far as I’m concerned. It’s a small thing – but better than doing nothing.
does Koch make Viva Towels. I wish they wood. I hope they buy them, then I can buy Viva towels and shout, ‘Viva Koch!’
Look forward to the Koch haters not buying Koch products. Go live in a cave or a thatched hut, buy local.
We need millions more like The Koch Brothers in America and the world
Our only way to hit these autocratic plutocrat jerks where it will do any good is to boycott everything they make, until they can’t make their rent.
Thx for listing this. Now I know what NOT to buy!
After reading your list, I see I don’t buy any of their junk. If I did, I would stop. There’s got to be some way to make them pay.
LEROY’S COMING!!!
I hope someone starts a petition and a boycott of all koch brothers companies and products.
Now I know what products TO buy – Go Koch !
I just want to say this last Friday December 14, 2012 20 chirdren from ages 5 to 10 were killed in Connecticut.. If someone wants to kill here are two guy who would not be missed. I am not saying someone go out an kill anyone but the loss of these Brothers would not be missed… They are the evil that is Killing America…
I knew he would win like i knew he would win 1st time he ran. He is the man to stop KOCH brothers. Obama please read, pray about and those affected should get at least double for A trouble and medically 100 fold. A committee overseen by your office and charged to koch for tests and investagations and all other court, etc. for all repeated offeses and then expand from there but of course you have to act quickly and not let them delay, or prolong anything by fqfuick dates of remedy or shut down?? God bless you obama.
WOW ….THOSE THAT THINK THESE GREED MACHINES THAT CONTROL AMERICA ARE ‘GOOD’ THEN THEY NEED TO GET THEIR HEADS EXAMINED OR EDUCATED. KOCH BROTHERS ARE PURE GREED MACHINES THAT DO VERY LITTLE TO HELP AMERICANS. THEY FOCUS ON OPPRESSION OF AMERICANS AND THEIR WEALTH. THEY ARE PURE EVIL. JUST AS BAD A SHELDON ADELSON. THEY WANT POWER TO KEEP AMERICANS OPPRESSED.
JUST READING THE COMMENTS YOU CAN SEE WHOM IS EDUCATED AND SOME THAT JUST DID NOT GET THE POINT OF THIS BLOG. THESE PRODUCTS ARE NOT MAKING OUR COUNTRY BETTER. THEY ARE AS BAD AS MONSANTO AN GMO’S IN OUR FOODS. THEY MAKE CAPITAL HILL CORRUPT AND PUSH FOR AG GAG. GOOGLE AG GAG FOR DUMMIES THAT HAVE NO CLUE. KOCH BROTHERS HAVE NO CONSCIOUS YET ONLY THEIR GREED. GUESS WHY AMERICANS ARE LESS HEALTHY DURING THE LAST 4 DECDES……….IT’S THESE TOXIC CORPORATIONS. THEY ARE GREED MACHINES THAT ARE DESTOYING AMERICANS YET AMERICANS ARE TOO IGNORANT TO KNOW. MEDIA IS ALSO JUST A CORRUPT AND ADVERTISING IS JUST FOR MARKETING IN TOXIC PRODUCTS.
I POST THIS EVERY WEEK ON FACEBOOK……TIME FOR AMERICA TO GET WISE. NO WONDER WHY THEY ARE A SRTONG INTEREST GROUP FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND FRIENDS WITH ALL THE TEA PARTY. THEY ARE A CLUB OF GREEDY BASTARDS THAT SPREAD CANCER & POLLUTE WITH ZERO CONSCIOUS. SHAME ON OUR POLITICANS THAT SELL AMERICANS OUT. THEY ARE JUST LIKE MONSANTO………PURE EVIL. CORPORATIONS ARE OUT OF CONTROL AND DESTOYING OUR ENVIRONMENT. WAKE UP AMERICA…….THESE PRODUCTS ARE CANCER!
Thank God for the Koch brothers and their support on American freedoms.
After reading about the pipeline up north, it figures why they spent so much money to win the election. i am still laughing a month later at them. thank you for helping the unemployment numbers
I did not know the extent of the paper products they manufacture. After their funding of school segregation in North Carolina and funding of candidates that are anti union and polluters, our family will never buy their products again.
With no other force behind it the Tea Party may never have been brought forward to bring a balance to the extreme liberal policies of you Obama progressives. Why is there no metion in your political stuff that the Labor Unions have created a financial problem for our schools, for your government owned GMC and a huge number of state and local governments that are bankcrupt be cause of extreme labor demands??? Your distribution of wealth demand would be mute if Koch Companies and other big business never existed. We would all still be in log cabins hunting the land for survival.
Ya might not even get a glimps of this comment ever but so be it. Truth is create all this destruction and waste for money something that doesn’t even has life. I would like to tell how rich I truly am I enjoy living life for what it’s worth I also know all my so call wealth don’t mean sht I’ve earned it and then I died it stays so I never had any true value for it because I have common sense. All that I am has not ever offended anyone else I have actually indeed provided inspiration GOD true love. The world’s true ruler oh and don’t get it twisted I have true faith I don’t have to see it to believe it. You see the mind is truly smart not in education but in believing and how it makes things come true. Every thing in the bible must come true you are even in danger of your own species when you don’t have life’s true understanding that if it wasn’t for GOD everything would not make perfect sense or there wouldn’t be a meaning for everything as well as the difference between the good and the BAD. To live life to the fullest potential also is like careering for another one of your KIND. I honestly tell the Koch brothers I have I better chance at life then they do I’m only saying that because I’m assuming that’s exactly what will take place.

What about ‘store brands’ like Aldi sells: Clarissa paper towels & Willow facial tissue?
Kimberly-Clark of Neenah, Wisconsin, produces Kleenex and Scott bathroom tissue, both excellent products. So far the Koch Borthers have not gotten their greedy hands on Kimberly-Clark. The problem is that some members of our Congress can be bought by special interest groups. It seems that so many people in our country want to be entertained, not informed.
There is an app for your phone that you will be able to scan the product and it will tell if it is made by the Koch brothers
Just hope i’ll be successful.
And most of these products are tested on Animals…..Shame on YOU.
Okay, the Koch Brothers are big, and we’re all Lilliputians in comparison to the financial clout they wield. But if you remember the story of Gulliver’s Travels, the Lilliputians brought him down and pinned him to the ground with thousands of tiny ropes. We can bring them down, too, if enough people are determined.
We could start a pepper question campaign, to pepper them with questions about their activities in every media and forum that we can think of. We can have demonstrations whenever they speak at Americans for Prosperity. We can boycott all of their products. We can hold happenings and teach-ins at their annual meetings of all these different companies.
Come on, people, we’re not powerless. We’ve got the numbers! We’re creative. And we MUST not let them continue to destroy our planet. It’s that simple.
The light of truth is what sets us free. We just have to get all the information that we can on the 1%, and use what we know to defeat them from polluting our world, our politics, and our integrity as a people.
What we should not do is tie up our precious resources by suing them and getting into expensive court battles. People like the Koch brothers certainly hold the high ground.
It’s better to start getting a stream going that undermines their position.
isnt there alot of other Corporations like PepsiCo that own alot more companies and products then these brothers, is all products suppose to be owned by just one company and/or person, yes they are rich, who cares!!!!
Does anyone know if they manufacture store labels like Kirkland or Safeway etc?
there’s something you missed about this. there is no grass-roots TEA PARTY. All of the Tea Party organzations have paid directors, and they are funded through 503-C4 donations–read, KOCH INDUSTRIES. And no, they are not connected with a benevolent, compassionate christian god–they are the satanic barbarians.
the koch brothers should be fine of 25.1 billion each and 25yrs to life for muder of those people who have died because of the dadly waste they have dumped knowing it would kill they make the most deadlest killers in our histroy look like sunday school teachers sthe judge that let them of in 2001 (who is now on the highest court in the land) should all so be in jail.
Thank you, I really just wanted the names of what products I should ‘ban’ from buying myself, there were none, as I don’t buy any of that brand. The information I was able to gather here tho was more than I asked for, and really organized and easy to read. So Again, Thank you.
It is quite obvious that you do not value education. Your post was rambling & illegible. Care to translate, as no one could understand your rant.
Deny all you want, but stop disrespecting nature, in the nameof greed.
Tkan you.
