Grammy nominee to explore new carbon-neutral packaging for music

Eclectic folk/rock band Trout Fishing in America expresses interest in new carbon-neutral packaging for CDs and DVDs. The group is best known for family-friendly music and has won multiple Parents’ Choice awards, including a 2008 award for its CD Big Round World with songs such as "Always Chew Your Food.”
This is according to an announcement from Oasis Disc Manufacturing that states that Trout Fishing In America’s group manager, Dick Renko, is interested in "migrating our catalog and new titles to the Oasis Zero Carbon Footprint Digipak format. It's very much in keeping with Trout Fishing In America's long-running commitment to the environment."
The new Oasis Zero Carbon Footprint Digipak features the Oasis BottleTray: a flexible clear tray for CDs made 100 percent from water bottles that would otherwise be destined for a landfill or the incinerator, made to Oasis specifications by Sunlyte Packaging in Biddeford, ME. It reduces carbon emissions by 88 percent overall compared to a jewel case (65 percent compared to a conventionally-trayed Digipak). The entire CD manufacturing, package, assembly and UPS shipping are now rendered 100 percent carbon neutral, thanks to carbon offset credits certified by Carbonfund.org.
"I'm especially excited because The Oasis Zero Carbon Footprint Digipak has a triple value of reducing landfill use, plastic consumption, and harm to the earth's atmosphere!" says Oasis President and Founder Micah Solomon. "As always, we're very passionate about putting out great independent content by our clients while finding new, earth-friendly ways to manufacture it." .
