NEW! Digipak® is now available in 100% recycled materials!
In our continuing quest to bring our customers the greenest packaging options available, iDEA Media is pleased to announce that our popular CD and DVD Digipak® trays are now available in 100% recycled plastic with a minimum 35% post-consumer content and can be printed on 100% recycled board.
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. Contact your sales representative or CSR for more information.
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™ and DVStar™ are two other iDEA Media products that help 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.
