It's also trivially recycled, AIUI vinyl records can simply be shredded to bits and put right back into the pressing process to make new ones. I saw a documentary a while back about a region where new local songs were pressed into records on a weekly basis, I think it was in Jamaica. The local music scene was highly ephemeral, and people's records were constantly being recycled for this week's new tunes.
