What's the *e*-waste from a record and sleeve?

PVC releases potentially harmful vapors and is difficult to properly dispose of.

  • records rarely end up in waste, and the relatively small amount of waste from production is not where we should be focusing our energies.

You're right it's probably not ewaste. I think the record is entirely wasted along with the energy to produce it. The sleeve is the only value if you don't play it
