@heretobuy had it right. Vinyl LPs are mostly recycled vinyl today. I have no use for any "biodegradable" albums.  I intentionally want my albums to last 100 years or more.  I hope there's a chance my relatives will be playing them well into the future, even if just for the fun and amusing aspect of it. 

Vinyl can be recycled and if not used for more albums there are lots of other uses for it such as filler for asphalt in roads.

All these "green solutions" seem to be more "problems looking for a solution (or a government grant)" than anything concrete to actually help the environment or the human condition. 

Yes, too many plastics over the last 80 years have bad environmental issues and effects on biology, but we must note that just like what was said in the movie The Graduate, there are thousands upon thousands of "plastics" that were developed (and still being developed).  

The vinyl used in LPs is not the main culprit in causing harm.

More power to the company trying this, but I'm not sure a market will exist or be accepting of this product.
