Wednesday, March 9th, 2022Revive Innovations are a start up company in Bristol .
They produce a new signature material called RE-CD which uses our waste discs to produce a new beautiful & robust material.
This is then manufactured using common workshop tools and processes into peices of furniture, jewellery and many other products. Production has low emissions and products are repairable and reprocessable.
The finish on products is sanded and polished to either a matt or gloss finish.
It is made from 100% recycled discs whether they are Cds, Dvds or Blu-Ray.
The physical properties of RE-CD is durable, hardwearing and temperature resistant.
The end product is a unique sustainable composite material.
Have a look …what they are doing there is amazing!
Recycling Our Waste Discs: 28th February 2022
Monday, February 28th, 2022We are delighted, in fact over the moon, to partner with Revive Innovations to recycle our waste discs.
For a long time we have struggled to find a viable long term way of recycling discs.
We build up unwanted discs when, for example a machine does a “bad” print or our burners reject a disc.
Over time these mount up and apart from a few small projects, we have never found anywhere to recycle these on a longterm basis.
More news next week on Revive Innovations and the new life breathed in to our rejected discs.
Vibe of the Week:24th January 2022
Monday, January 24th, 2022As we approach the end of January i saw this short reflection and thought it was worth sharing:
Try to take life day by day, so that you don’t become overwhelmed.
Yesterday is gone and tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet.
Be grateful for the little things.
Enjoy nature.
And try not to get stressed over things you can’t control.
We’ll help you maintain this with our professional CD, DVD & BLU-RAY duplication.
Real people here to help you with your project every step of the way.

Recycling at Duplication Centre: 8th December 2021
Wednesday, December 8th, 2021Chatting to a customer yesterday made me think about how much we are able to recycle and be eco-friendly, even in our industry which has traditionally been very plastic orientated.
We have promoted all our Eco-friendly products for some years and we only use FSC Certified and Sustainable Card and Paper.
In addition to that we recycle all incoming supplies boxes and use them to double box and protect our outgoing orders.
Our general ethos is to try to recycle anything we can …from bubble bags, & boxes to over-run discs / spoiled discs.
All of this makes sense to protect our environment and makes great business sense too .
Let me know if you have any other ideas that we can adopt ,which maybe i havent thought of !
