I'm specifically looking into the environmental impact of storing and/or destroying VHS tapes and CDs as it relates to the entertainment industry. What do they do with all the millions of VHS tapes and CDs used in pre through post production (i.e. for logging, annotating, transcibing, editing, etc.)? What are the environmental costs and hazards of storing them? And what are the environmental costs and hazards of destroying them?
And, if anyone has any statistics as to how many of these tapes and DVDs an average production and/or movie studio goes through, I could use that info too. Thanks!

To determine the environmental hazard, you would need to run testing on the tape/dvd for its hazardous constituents.
Other than neither of them returning to a natural state anytime soon, if they are crushed, pulverized or otherwise handled prior to disposal, the space they occupy in a landfill is minimized.

My family owns many more VHS tapes than DVDs. Granted, We never watch the VHS tapes--in fact, we use online streaming the most.
