Eco-friendly hi-fi and audio solutions are becoming increasingly popular as concerns about the climate crisis continue to rise apace, and while there's certainly more that brands could be doing collectively, many are now stepping in the right direction. One company looking to play its part in the fight against environmental collapse is PMC, with the British brand recently announcing its backing of the production of a more sustainable vinyl alternative.
PMC has invested in a brand named Evolution Music Ltd., a fellow UK-based concern which is behind the development of "Evovinyl", a plant-based alternative to the more environmentally harmful PVC material used to make the majority of vinyl records. Disc International estimates that global record production accounts for roughly 30,000 tonnes of PVC every year, and considering that Greenpeace regards it as the most damaging plastic out there, this could be the unforeseen downside of resurging vinyl sales.
