@[email protected] plastic is not always vegan [1-4] paper is not always vegan [5-6] inks/dyes/paints are not always vegan [7-8] glues are not always vegan [9] tyres are not always vegan [10] ceramics are not always vegan [11-12] The vegan society vegetarian society and v-label have all confirmed in writing to me in the past couple years that they do not audit product packaging for their vegan certification, so a product can have a vegan society trademark and be wrapped in plastics inks and cardboard all dervied from murder victims bodies In the time since I have emailed hundreds of companies directly to ask them about these materials and got very few positive responses Some companies that have confirmed to me they use all vegan materials in products packaging and shipping.
