@lotterlotta: Vinyl und CD wird es von Strange Heavens nicht geben. So wie alle Veröffentlichungen von Biophilia erscheint das Album als Biopholio.
Biophilia RecordsPoly Vinyl Chloride, better known as PVC, has a long history used in a wide range of building materials from pipes to wall and floor coverings. Durability and economical up front costs are it’s primary functional advantages. In terms of sustainability, the PVC controversy is centered primarily around the health related concerns for workers during the manufacturing phase of the products, environmental release of toxins during production, as well as the release of toxics from products when they burn.
PVC is a plastic non grata among environmentalists, because of concerns about dangerous emissions during its production and—if burned—its disposal. (One LP manufacturer the Lantern spoke with talked about experimenting with bioplastic—but the switch to vegetable-based albums isn’t likely to happen any time soon.
In addition, an LP is about twice as heavy as a packaged CD, which translates into higher fuel usage for transportation.
