Ekodisk.com - Earth Friendly CD and DVD Duplication and Replication

Our Story

The creation of plastic was a seemingly magnificent discovery back in the day. Mankind had finally found a material that was cheap to manufacture, sturdy and durable over a long period of time. The fact that plastic never decayed was perhaps thought of as it's best feature. That's right, a material was invented that lasted forever, the perfect "clay" in the hands of engineers and designers of the day. The problem is that when chemists (and marketers) said that it lasted forever, they really meant FOREVER, or an extremely long time anyhow. As a result many plastic items created in recent generations will be buried in landfills and will not break down and decay contributing to the life cycle the way organic materials do.

EkoDisk.com was created in consideration of all the plastic that will ultimately be buried in landfills only to resurface in time as the landfills settle and the permanent materials hold there mass. This was a natural evolution from the days when we were known by a different name and primarily manufactured using the dominant packaging, jewel cases. Love of music and experience with media wasn't enough anymore, we needed to use our creative muscles again. "There has to be a better way ... ", we thought. So we set out to change the way CDs and DVDs are packaged, imagining how much less plastic there would be if everyone used alternative packaging for CDs and DVDs rather than traditional jewel cases and Amaray style cases. Now there's an inspiring thought.

We embarked on an exploration of building a line of cd and dvd packaging from the ground up, combining the needs of an artist or business to have a visually stunning package with the needs of our very being, which we believe does not include plastic! Our pride and joy is our #3 Eko-Kase with it's sturdy tray that securely holds your disc weighing only a fraction as much as a jewel case, or even an original eco-friendly digi-style tray for that matter.

We came up with a complete line of alternative packaging for CDs and DVDs that can prevent up to 136 pounds of plastic from being used for the manufacturing of 1000 retail ready CDs, one of the most common quantities to be manufactured. We also price our products on a "cost markup" basis rather than charging what the market will allow. This means that not only does Eko-Disk.com offer an exclusive and complete line of CD and DVD packaging that is earth friendly, we also do it consistantly priced for less than some manufacturers charge for standard jewel case packaging! Initially we felt that it was possible to offer premium packaging at the same price or less, and now after countless hours of research and development, we believe that we have achieved our goal of offering a complete line of affordable earth friendly packaging!

EkoDisk.com continues with an open mind and desire to remain innovative with our products as well as our business pratices. Our commitment to the environment is not limited to our products, not only do we sell products that contain far less plastic and help our customers contribute to the long term care of our natural resources, we also follow established manufacturing practices that encourage recycling of many materials used in our processes as well as our general business practices.
