Make way for Ecodisc!

We all appreciate the conveniences which DVD discs bring into our lives i.e. carrying large volumes of data yet having a very low capacity/cost ratio.

What we may not know is that the polycarbonate layers which are used to make DVDs are derived from the threatened natural resource, oil, while the medium used for binding these polycarbonate layers is non-biodegradable and toxic. 

 

It is with these concerns that we at mediamovers.com.au have now adopted the environmentally-friendly option, ecodisc. We invite our existing and new clients to also adopt ecodiscs for the sake of conserving our environment and also for the benefits that these devices present. 

 

The ecodisc is flexible as it features one polycarbonate layer instead of two. This means that it is lightweight and therefore helps to accumulate considerable savings with regards to transportion and postal charges. Ecodiscs feature the same optical and electrical properties as conventional discs and hence the quality of these discs contents will not be compromised in any way.

About the introduction of the Ecodisc to the Media Movers stable

Since the inception of DVD disks in 1993 there have been genuine concerns about their production sustainability. Firstly, the key ingredient used in their manufacture i.e. polycarbonate is a derivative of oil which is a non-renewable resource. Further, their production process has a negative impact on the environment considering that the binding substance used is non-biodegradable and toxic. Research work looking to address these issues has been steadily progressing, and after numerous attempts the Ecodisc has finally been unveiled.

At mediamovers.com.au we are strongly behind this environmentally-friendly technology and have made it part of our DVD works portfolio. The ecodisk unlike a conventional DVD features one polycarbonate layer which makes it lighter and more flexible yet it has the same optical and storage (4.7 GB) capabilities as DVD-5. These disks do not need require the toxic binding medium and their manufacture generates 52% less carbon emissions. 

 

The future clearly belongs to the Ecodisc. We urge our clients to switch to the ecodisk to reduce their carbon footprints, and which will also earn them extra credit in their target markets as environmental-sensitive firms.
