Recycled Vinyl Record Bottle Opener

Description

Vinylux transforms vintage records into a variety of new designs, bringing vinyl records back into the home. The founder of Vinylux, Jeff Davis, began molding vinyl records over custom-made forms as part of a graduate school thesis project. His designs preserve the look and feel of the old vinyl, including the original record labels, while creating new, useful, elegant objects. Since 2002, hundreds of thousands of old records - past their playing prime - have been collected and transformed into everything from clocks to guitar amps. Vinylux gets its supply of recycled vinyl from record shops, dealers, collectors, and in some cases, from people's attics. Every year, they recycle and reuse approximately 150,000 records or almost 40,000 pounds of material.
