Billie Eilish album to use recyclable materials for physical copies

The 22-year-old "Bad Guy" and "Therefore I Am" hitmaker has been vocal about her commitment to environmental causes and will release "Hit Me Hard and Soft" on all digital platforms and physical formats — using 100% recyclable materials — on the same day, with the same track listing.

Eilish recently raised eyebrows with her comments during aBillboardinterview in which she pointedly called out artists who release various vinyl versions of their releases to juice sales. Some thought she was referring to Taylor Swift, a noted multiple-releaser, but Eilish quickly clarified on social media that, "I wasn't singling anyone out, these are industry-wide systemic issues."

Eilish also reminded critics that she was also guilty of the charge, having release eight vinyl variants of "Happier Than Ever." But she also made efforts toward sustainability by using 100% recycled black vinyl and recycled scraps.
