we all know DVDs cannot be made from anything other than optical-grade poly carbonate - or plastic, that is derived from petroleum. but how you decide to package your latest cd or dvd creation can have an impact on all our collective futures.

ecodiscs, a new division of pacificdisc inc has partnered with Carbonfund.org and gives you the option to donate $0.01/disc which will be used to support carbon-reducing projects, such as renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation projects.

"we were constantly being asked for greener solutions from our customers. While we cannot change how we make dvds, we could offer greener packaging options."

PacificDisc launches new service offering eco-friendly cd & DVD packaging options for those customers interested in minimizing the manufacturing impact.

A new service specifically designed to offer our customers more ecologically sound choices for packaging their cds and DVDs”, said Morris Anderson, President and Co-Founder of PacificDisc. “We have started to offer wallets, sleeves, wraps and DigiPaks made from at least 30% recycled cardboard stock, vegetable-based inks and now offer the ability to offset the carbon footprint created during manufacturing with a partnership with Carbonfund.org"
