How to recycle vinyl records?

Many have asked us: “how do you go about recycling vinyl records?” The process is actually simple.

1.Wash the vinyl of all debris.
2. Cut the center label out.
3. Shred the vinyl.
4. Ship the shreds off to be processed into new products.


By doing this we:

1. Cut down on the amount of new PVC purchased.
2. Cut down on the toxins released during the process of making PVC.
3. Eliminate the amount of PVC waist disposed in landfills.


The ultimate goal for Project GreenCR8 is:

1. Successfully promote the need to recycle vinyl records and establish convenient drop points in all major markets.
2. To create a vinyl record in a closed loop production using green chemistry, zero waste, and renewable energy.

What does closed loop production mean? It means that the composites of the vinyl record are all natural, the process in pressing the vinyl record uses renewable energy, and in the end of production there is zero waist. The vinyl record will be completely biodegradable, and recyclable thanks to green chemistry.
