DMDS is the environmentally friendly choice

When you choose DMDS by YANGAROO®, you are playing your part to protect the environment. DMDS eliminates the waste created by CDs and the greenhouse gas emissions caused by the delivery of those CDs.

DMDS delivers your broadcast quality music tracks securely over the Internet, replacing the physical distribution of music and advertising on CDs to a myriad of targeted destinations, thereby significantly reducing the need for CDs. This process saves time, money, and prevents pre-release leaks, while saving the environment from the hazardous materials that are used to create CD packages, and the pollution caused by the planes, trains, and trucks used for their delivery.

CDs are made from many non-renewable materials — polycarbonate, lacquer, dyes, and various metals including aluminum, gold, silver, and titanium. With 200 billion of them, they have become a serious environmental problem. Once the CD is manufactured, it’s packaged in a plastic jewel case, bubble wrapped, and shipped many miles, burning non-renewable fossil fuel resources, polluting the environment, and contributing to global warming.

Although an individual may keep a CD for 20 years, according to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), CDs have a 4-year lifespan and a 2% damage rate during the recording process. About 1 billion CDs, weighing almost 20,000 tons, are discarded annually in North America — and they don’t break down. This conservative estimate excludes CDs with defects discarded by the manufacturing sector.

By using DMDS, you participate in helping the planet and have your music and videos distributed in a more efficient and effective manner.
