The article discusses how a desire to contribute to the green movement by supporting environmentally friendly compact disc (CD) packaging at record labels has been hampered by a weak economy. Major record labels say progress on offering more sustainable packaging has remained flat due to financial concerns. Problems related to making eco-friendly CD packages compatible with automated distribution systems and machinery designed for plastic jewel cases are discussed.
