PARIS, July 21 — A British firm says it has produced the world’s first bioplastic vinyl record, which it hopes will reduce the need for highly toxic PVC.

“If Evolution can deliver an alternative guilt-free vinyl, it could get rid of one of the key polluting elements of the music industry completely,” the NGO’s co-founder Lewis Jamieson told AFP. Few anticipated the vinyl revival that began in the mid-2000s, so record companies found themselves scrambling to secure PVC — often relying on foreign firms with poor safety records., said the PVC for 90 per cent of US vinyls in 2015 came from a Thai company that was “pouring pollution into the Bangkok river”.

“Digital data still takes up space and uses energy. In fact, given the current size and spread of the music industry, it’s likely more environmentally-taxing than ever before,” Devine said.
