What animal products are in our devices? And what is being done to remove them?

The Issue

As a vegan -  on almost a daily basis I receive the accusation;
      "your phone contains animal products inside of it."

And whilst nobody can ever actually cite any documentation to back this claim up (As of yet) that doesn't necessarily make it false. It's a fair assumption to make, especially when it comes to the bonding agents.

The points of this petition are as follows.

1:
To get full disclosure from Tech Companies on EXACTLY what animal derived/bi products go into their devices.

This way we know exactly what we are campaigning to have removed!
The term "animal products" is so vague and uninformative, at least with a comprehensive list of specifications - we'd know exactly what parts and their quantities.

That way we can at least have a proper informed dialogue about the subject at the very least.And of course any of these companies who already DO NOT use any such animal products can quickly rule themselves out if needed.

2: 
For those companies who it's discovered (from above) do use animal products in their devices to address what changes they plan to make in future to avoid and exclude their use.

3:
To demonstrate that this IS an issue that we care about, that we aren't ignoring it and are actively trying to change it.

We do not live in a perfect world, sadly but this is something that we can definitely change moving forward and an opportunity for any companies who already avoid the use of these products to come forward and correct these accusations directly.
