Enter Shikari, Napalm Death and Carcass are releasing eco-friendly ‘Greenyl’ records
“I’m very excited that fans can enjoy eco-friendly vinyl versions of milestones LPs that rock as hard as their favourite bands…” says co-founder of Greenyl and president of Rude Records, Ilich Rausa.
Greenyl and Rude Cares have teamed up for the release of several reissues of classic albums – but in a much more eco-friendly way…
Beloved LPs by Enter Shikari (Common Dreads), Napalm Death (Harmony Corruption) and Carcass (Heartwork) are being unveiled as part of a new Be The Change initiative. They not only all come from the first-ever eco-friendly vinyl plant, but will also be raising awareness about climate change and the music industry’s impact on our planet.
The vinyl itself is printed on PVC-free Greenyl, which according to a press release is ‘made from a certified 99 per cent recycled plastic compound with zero emissions during the production process, manufactured sustainably as 80 per cent of energy used by the plant comes from solar panels and completed with certified paper parts (FSC & PEFC) and eco-friendly UV inks for LP labels’.
“We’re on a mission to flip the script on vinyl manufacturing, launching a project that’s not just music but a message for our world,” explains co-founder of Greenyl and president of Rude Records, Ilich Rausa.
“I’m very excited that fans can enjoy eco-friendly vinyl versions of milestones LPs that rock as hard as their favourite bands. I can’t wait for everyone to dive into this wild ride with us. To the bands and fans, let’s crank up the enthusiasm and make history together. Get ready to be part of something epic – let’s turn up the volume and be the change.”
And keep your eyes peeled for more, because Be The Change are selecting more bands and artists until the end of 2024 for future projects together.
