Are the print products vegan?

Hello,

often printed photo products contain gelatine derived from slaughtered animals. As a vegetarian i do not want to buy products that contain animal-derived gelatine. Therefore I would like to know if any of the print products Apple delivers may contain gelatine. I would really appreciate if a large company like Apple would take leadership in providing ethical options for their products.

best regads,

It is not possible to contact Apple by email.


Whilst vegetarian gelatine is available for culinary use, I am not sure if it has the right properties for industrial use.


As such issues are important to you, you might also want to ponder the use of rare metals used in your computer, and how they were mined, as well as the working conditions of the labour force that made your computer.


In fact you may conclude that no modern product or service is truly acceptable on purely ethical grounds.


Sad, but possibly true.
