(Educate Inspire Change) One could call it a record breaking event, the first non-vinyl record made from recycled plastics collected from the beaches of Cornwall in the UK.

Playable record made from recycled ocean plastic

The brainchild of singer, songwriter and Mercury Prize winner, Nick Mulvey and Cornwall-based Sharps Brewery, Keynvor and vinyl manufacturing company Tangible Formats, the 10-inch record is the first of its kind ever made.

Made with plastics found on the coastlines of Cornwall, the record is entitled ‘In the Anthropocene’, and profits from physical sales and digital streams will go to UK-based charity, Surfers Against Sewage.

Joining the trend to ditch fossil fuel products, London clubs Oval Space and Pickle Factory went plastic-free earlier this year.
