Help us to Save The Planet!
"The earth is what we all have in common.” —Wendell Berry, American Novelist. Help Us to recycle vinyl records by making art with them. Protecting Our Planet Starts with You.
For the first time since the late 80s, the value of record sales in 2021 is expected to surpass that of CDs - although it still lags way behind digital streaming and downloads. As sales rise, record labels and artists are beginning to look at sustainability issues.
PVC (poly vinyl chloride), the plastic from which records are made, isn't exactly environmentally friendly. It tends to produce toxic waste when discarded and is harmful to the environment.
"Vinyl is a form of plastic that is quite difficult to recycle," says Dr Sharon George, senior lecturer in the environment and sustainability at Keele University.
"The C in PVC means chloride (from chlorine) which is quite toxic and difficult to handle. This is one of the reasons recyclers don't really like PVC, so it tends to either go to the landfill or incineration."
Dr George says what's good about them is they are very much seen as "non-disposable" products.
"One of the things about vinyl in record form is that quite often we have this relationship with it like no other form of plastic," she says.
"Vinyl records come under that category of things that we will keep for years and years and even pass on to our children and grandchildren."
