I don't know about these records but the recycled plastic bottle t-shirts that Radiohead made on the In Rainbows tour are extremely comfortable and durable. Would buy more of those in a second.

Only problem with “cloth” made from recycled plastic is as it gets washed it breaks down and the micro-plastics go into the water supply then into bodies.

It’s the double edge sword of renewables. They may address one concern but then create a new set of problems.

But it's comfortable and clears my conscience 

Exactly!!!

For my job I’m on a few committees looking at renewable energy and EVs and the charging of them. During one meeting a presenter was going on about how these things will be so beneficial to the environment. I asked how to square that with the fact that EVs and solar panels require a lot of plastic to manufacture and the extraction bi-products to mine the materials needed to built storage batteries. Didn’t get much of an answer but I did get a very dirty look!

What a fucking loser. I can’t stand her.  Im pretty sure stopping some extra colored variant records from being produced is not going to save the environment 🤦🏼

what a fucking loser I am throwing my recyclables in the recycling instead of in the trash, or hell, on the street. Like MY contribution to recycling is going to save the environment. 🤦🏼

Being conscious of recycling materials we will throw away after one use and worrying about some vinyl variants people want to collect and play are radically different.

Square it with the fact that the amount of carbon in the atmosphere is reaching a tipping point and, if we don't stop putting more carbon into the atmosphere, we risk a runaway greenhouse effect that will create mass suffering and possible extinction. The decrease in carbon that a shift to electric vehicles would effectuate would dwarf the concern you're raising. Plastics necessary for manufacturing electric-vehicle and solar-panel components can be made from recycled materials. Extraction byproducts from mining lithium is less consequential than carbon emissions that the environment is already unable to compensate for.
