Public Panel: This Is How We Do It - The Path To More Sustainable Record Manufacturing

Join the conversation, hosted by Making Vinyl x HVF, and be part of the progress the vinyl industry is making.

After extensive discussions and thorough examination of our industry's current state, multiple collaborative teams have been established to evaluate the environmental impact of producing vinyl records. These teams are focusing on a wide range of factors, including carbon emissions, waste management, energy consumption, and conducting comprehensive life cycle assessments.

This concerted effort demonstrates the industry's commitment to providing transparent and accurate information that consumers demand. However, the diverse methodologies, objectives, and measurement criteria used by these groups may introduce complexity and potential confusion. It is crucial that we engage in dialogue, foster cooperation, and forge strong partnerships to navigate these transformative initiatives effectively. Let's explore how we can unite our efforts, work together seamlessly, and build impactful coalitions.

This panel will be open to the public. Everyone interested is welcome to join and attend the panel: industry representatives, music lovers, collectors, attendees of the Haarlem Vinyl Festival - simply everyone interested in the progress we make as industry.
