Eco-friendly cd packaging on the up!

According to this industry blog, the demand for more sustainable cd packaging, including biodegradable alternatives, is on the up. In 2006, Pink Floyd guitarist, David Gilmour, released his first carbon-neutral CD, “On an Island”, which was Columbia Records’ first album to be released under eco-friendly guidelines. The album was produced with biodegradable cardboard packaging and water-based varnish, and the carbon released during the manufacturing process was offset by paying for alternative energy sources and planting trees.
