[glow=red,2,300]"Remind You" by ReCoup [/glow]
The first release in March from a group called Recoup, is encased inside a recycled crisp packet, it is of course, empty washed and inside-out! A green message from the band's song "Remind You".
Lead singer Theron said he followed his girlfriend's advice to think "laterally and be creative" with consumer packaging. He hopes the move will create a new "eco-army" of music fans.
The accompanying video features a man returning from a future laid waste by decades of damage, to warn mankind of the destruction. "
"Crisp packets are hard to recycle because they are made from a combination of plastic and aluminum and they are expensive to separate," he said. "They take ages to biodegrade in a landfill site so they are durable and the perfect shape for a CD case. When you turn them inside out, you can't see the brand and we stuck a recyclable label on the front with the band and single's name on it."
The packets for the limited edition 3,000 CDs were collected by drummer and music teacher Ms Stadler, from the primary school she teaches at!
Well, I guess they hope to make a packet out of this!
