Bioplastics Help Your Vintage Music Habit Be Less Wasteful

Vinyl records are back in style in a big way, but did you know their production is incredibly harmful to the environment? Traditionally, they’re made from PVC (that “V” is where the vinyl name comes in), which isn’t ever going to win any awards for being a green material. Evolution Music took 4 years to experiment and find the best alternative and green plastic to make records with, and now they’ve landed on it. It looks, feels, and plays just like the real thing. The first record to get the new bioplastic treatment is a commemorative pressing on an A side by Michael Stipe of REM, and a B side by Beatie Wolf.
