Reason for Boycott
Although MAS Kırtasiye possesses domestic capital for its manufactured desktop supplies, its international distributorship and B2B sales network directly violate BYKT.ORG's "Domestic Capital - Dirty Shelf" criteria. The company officially distributes and provides market access for brands at the very core of the occupation economy. Foremost among these are the US-based 3M (which supplies the Israeli military and operates directly in Tel Aviv) and SanDisk (owned by Western Digital, which operates massive R&D centers in strategic Israeli locations like Kfar Saba and Tefen). Additionally, MAS distributes brands like Energizer and Diversey, which are tied to global risk funds like BlackRock. Even though MAS's own capital is clean, it acts as a logistical partner to the exploitation cycle by providing a storefront, warehousing, and an official sales network for multinational corporations that strictly belong on the "Strict Boycott" list. Due to this deep commercial contradiction, the brand is placed in the Gray Area (Consumer Discretion).
