Lower Impact Packaging |

| 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!
