Sanyo develops corn-based CDs

Posted on by

PCWorld reports that Sanyo has developed a corn-based polymer that can be used to make biodegradable CDs, DVDs and Mini-Discs, that will go on sale in December. Current cost is 3x that of standard discs, but Sanyo estimates that it can bring down prices to 1.2x with volume productions.

(Thanks to Dave for the tip!)
