Episode 45 - Pierre van Dongen, Green Vinyl

In this episode we are sitting down with Pierre van Dongen from Green Vinyl, a conversation we’ve wanted to have and share with our listeners for quite some time. Green Vinyl is working to innovate the vinyl manufacturing process by developing an environmentally friendly and alternative production process for vinyl records, replacing traditional plastics for eco-friendly materials. Learn more about their innovation in record pressing, where things stand now, and ways in which we can help advance a more eco-friendly product that we all will still enjoy in the same way for years to come.
