These new trays offer the same high quality disc retention, scratch-resistance and transparency as regular trays. In addition, they are an example of how waste material that would otherwise end up in landfills can be used to create a very attractive product. These trays are available for a small extra charge.

Please your customers and protect the environment   Choosing products made from 100% recycled plastic and 100% recycled board is an excellent way to meet consumers’ rising expectations for environmentally responsible packaging. The Digipak® and our all-board CD E-Pak™ and DVD E-Pak™ are among our most eco-friendly products since no new wood fiber or petroleum is used in their manufacturing.   CDStar™ is another iDEA Media product that helps protect the environment. Much slimmer and lighter than traditional packaging, they hold more discs in fewer trays and can be printed on 100% recycled board. DiscBookLite™ gives you another multi-disc option that is both strong and efficient. It, too, can be printed on 100% recycled board.   Our commitment to source eco-friendly materials doesn’t stop at paper, board and plastic. All our inks are vegetable-based and produced from renewable resources. Varnishes are water-based and biodegradable.

 

What does it really mean?   Post-consumer waste:   This is waste from paper or board products that have completed their usefulness as a consumer item and have been collected through recycling programs. From an environmental perspective, the more post-consumer waste a recycled product contains, the better.   Recycled paper or board:   This contains wood fiber from paper or board that has been used before and recuperated. It can be a combination of pre-consumer waste (scraps and trimming from the paper manufacturing process), post-consumer waste and virgin fiber.   Biodegradable:   A biodegradable product that decomposes naturally, broken down by other living organisms such as fungi, algae or bacteria.

"Soy inks are made with soybeans, and use 50% less energy to make compared with petroleum-based ink. It makes it easier to recycle paper. Soy ink is an option for printing CD booklets/traycards, cardboard packaging and digipaks."
