CD Cases made of NonRice Materials
CD cases are still in demand these days, particularly to store audio and video discs. However, the problem really draws in on the actual make of these CD cases. Most of them are made of plastic but we all know how plastic has become an issue as far as adhering towards the waste problems we have to settle these days.
We have seen the infusion of various eco-friendly materials, the latest of which is nonfood rice. And leading the use of these types of casings are no other than Victor Company of JVC/Kenwood Corporation.
With 10 percent of their material coming from rice rather than plastic resin, the CD/DVD cases require less petroleum to produce. And while it seems it would be more eco-friendly to recycle such cases rather than incinerate them,
This would result in 10 percent fewer carbon dioxide emissions because the rice component would simply return to the atmosphere carbon that had previously been absorbed by the rice plants.
