Sanyo Mavic Media has developed an optical disc labeled MildDisc. The disc is based on polylactic acid taken from corn.
It takes about 85 kernels of corn to make a CD. When discarded, the disc will be dissolved by bacteria to carbon dioxide, water, and inorganic substances in two to eight months.
The European Union has adopted directives, which require that all electronics devices sold within the union must be lead-free by June 2006.
