Each year, the UK’s vinyl habit is estimated to produce the same amount of emissions as 400 people.<\/b><\/p>\n

But Billie Eilish is hoping to change the record with her new album Hit Me Hard and Soft, which came out on Friday.<\/p>\n

Albums will be pressed on to recycled or eco-vinyl and the packaging will also be made from recycled materials.<\/p>\n

There’s scepticism about how much difference that can really make when it’s linked to a huge world tour.<\/p>\n

But Billie is keen not to be the Bad Guy, and has also been praised for drawing attention to sustainability in the music industry. <\/p>\n

In an interview last month, external<\/span><\/a>, the singer told Billboard she and her team were doing everything they could to minimise waste “in every aspect” of her music.<\/p>\n

“My parents have always kept me well informed and hyper-aware that every choice we make and every action we take has an impact somewhere or on someone, good or bad, and that has always stuck with me,” she said.<\/p>\n

At a record press in South Wigston, Leicestershire, BBC Newsbeat was offered a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the process of making records more sustainable. <\/p>\n

“Factories are so different to when I first started,” says Karen Emanuel, CEO of vinyl manufacturers Key Production.<\/p>\n

Most important are the ingredients. Records are made from PVC, a type of plastic which takes centuries to decompose.<\/p>\n

And a key ingredient is oil – a fossil fuel. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
