As consumers and retailers alike become more conscious of the need to protect the environment,
demand is growing quickly for more environmentally responsible packaging.

Helping our clients choose greener solutions is one way that Groove House Records is demonstrating its
commitment to preserving the natural world. We'll gladly work with you to find the package that's right for
your product - and good for the environment.

Lower Impact Packaging

We offer minimal plastic and plastic-free packaging options such as
Digipaks and cardboard sleeves.

We can manufacture your Digipaks and sleeves with 100% recycled
cardboard: either brown chipboard (100% post-consumer waste) or
white Enviroboard (50% post-consumer and 50% post-industrial waste).
Even the Digipak trays can be made with 100% recycled plastic.

Our print facility is FSC certified, which guarantees that any virgin paper
or board used in our products comes from responsible forest operations.

All of our inks used for paper printing are vegetable-based and we

use only water-based, biodegradable varnishes.

Our shrink wrap and poly wrap is made of recyclable LDPE (low density polyethylene).   Company Practices That Make a Positive Impact

Groove House Records is taking other measures to protect the environment through environmentally
sound practices and processes that we have developed over the years:

Our print and disc manufacturing facilities recycle 100% of their paper, board and plastic waste.

Jewel cases, trays, shrink wrap, polycarbonate including CDs, purgings and sprews are all separated
on-site. Even the bags containing our purchased poly carbonate are recycled. No plastic scrap goes to
landfill. We then send all scrap to plastic recyclers where they are shredded and recycled into products
such as computer cases and residential building materials.    
Our disc manufacturing facility operates its own waste water treatment
process, an evaporator system used to reduce bulk from the waste water
system. We also operate our own cardboard and paper compacting
equipment to reduce volume and assist in transporting of these materials.

We work only with licensed treatment, storage and disposal facilities to
assist us in all of our waste management needs. Ink and fountain
solutions are disposed of in a safe, controlled manner.

Solutions used to clean printing presses and blankets contain the lowest
amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) available.

We're keeping an eye on future trends such as recycled plastic jewel
cases, hemp-based Digipak trays, and corn oil derived poly carbonate for
disc molding.
 
While CDs and DVDs are not yet made from recycled materials, Groove House Records has joined with
CD Recycling Center of America and encourages post-use recycling of discs and jewels cases.

Our company CEO even runs his company car on biodiesel!
