A lot of companies are selling plastic goods as being 'Vegan' i.e doctor Martens 'vegan' shoes which are made from plastic.But plastic comes when you take patroleum and put it through the cracking process in a cracker factory to produce the various carbon based products,or plastics.But oil is produced when much zoological algae and other algae is pressed under sedimentary rock under great pressure and heat to produce crude oil.Therefore oil is partly animal based and should not be claimed by many vegans to be 'vegan'.
