Vinyl goes green!

@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. 

It’s hard to imagine any consumer product with as long a useful life as traditional vinyl records. This is yet another questionable gimmick pandering to current trends of "going green" - don’t think anything through; just go with what sounds nice under the banner of "go green". I’d say go after the DISPOSABLE aspects of consumerism, not this. Rest assured sound quality and durability are NOT the #1 priority in this new formula.

I’ll go out of my way to avoid these pressings, just as I avoid "alternative" meat products.

So ‘going green’ has resulted in cars run on lithium ion batteries- a dangerous and toxic production method that can’t be recycled - hydrogen fuel cells haven’t been supported. We have the annoying thunberg whose message goes out on mobile phones and various media devices. We live in times of appalling food wastage and appalling failure to recycle and attention turns to vinyl record production that rarely needs to be recycled in a time we have better HD streaming than ever - genius 

@mulveling Insert enough trendy buzzwords into any marketing language and watch the consumers’ Agreeability Sensors blink and glow like a Christmas tree.

”Ooooo, did you hear that, honey? They said, ‘sustainable!’”
