Agreed about the test being the sound of the playing surface, we are all familiar with the 'vinyl roar' and the noisy sound of reused vinyl. It will be interesting to hear PET on gaps or silent grooves. And how the music sounds when pressed into PET, of course.

VE's pet puns made me chuckle. I don't want to parrot them but you'll be having kittens when you see the prices...

Apparently they will be more durable than vinyl and the sound quality will be the same, So the artical said.
It's funny I just posted about green vinyl when this artical came up on my phone, It was from the BBC.
It's all going to come down to cost.
It's a bit like these HD vinyl records I was reading about a few years ago, not heard any more about that, I wonder if that was down to cost, I mean if HD vinyl is better then people may pay for it  but if Pet records is going to be no better are they going to be willing to pay more!! You only have to look at SACD, that never really took off. It seems that sound quality now a days as taken a backwards step and covenience is what people want (streaming)

How can it be green vinyl if it is not vinyl?
That none should be able to park up and enjoy the view without a smartphone and the knowledge in how to use apps

I saw the BBC article on Sunday and was curious. It is a quirky name and I agree with Graham's point on that. The name PET Sounds had already gone of course!

Lower energy and cost could allow more records to be pressed but it would need to be quicker or have more presses running clearly. Green is good but the business model depends on overall demand for records staying high or even growing, keeping prices down on the PET records as Jon said.

Harder may mean longer lasting records and perhaps faster stylus wear? Will the new material resist scratches better than vinyl, that would be good I think.

Nice to see innovation like this.
