wewow launch War On Waste campaign – Climate Week 2011

wewow have seized the opportunity to raise awareness of climate change and the positive changes that can be made if companies and individuals work together to reduce their carbon emissions and waste.

During Climate Week 2011, wewow will be launch their WOW campaign:
War On Waste

Throughout the week, wewow will be encouraging local printers and finishers to reduce the amount of waste they produce by finding innovative ways to re-use and upcycle waste materials, such as waste board from print runs.

wewow will take the lead by producing out of waste board, donated to us by a local printer, 3,000 bespoke boxes for a London-based charity.  The charity will be receiving 3,000 high-quality boxes free of charge and wewow will have successfully diverted a large amount of unwanted board from landfill!

wewow’s innovative upcycling will continue throughout the week as we endeavour innovate a number of new packaging solutions which can be produced from waste materials!

This is just the beginning of the WOW campaign as wewow will continue to promote the message of reuse, reduce, recycle throughout the year.

wewow opens London office!

Happy Birthday…wewow turns 5!

On 18^th June, wewow celebrated its 5^th birthday!  Here at the wow offices we celebrated with fancy dress and a special lunch.  Of course, we used bio-degradable plates, cutlery and cups so that our celebrations were eco-friendly!

Over the 5 years wewow has been trading there have been a lot of developments and exciting changes…having established itself as a leading media packaging supplier, wewow moved into CD/DVD replication and duplication and built a name for itself as a top quality supplier with a reputation for excellent customer service.

In recent years, wewow has developed its own range of bespoke, eco-friendly CD/DVD packaging including; wowPak, WowWallet and the recent addition of the windowed WowWallet.

Now going into our 6^th year we are looking forward to developing our unique range of environmentally friendly packaging and aim to continue promoting green issues throughout the optical media industry.

 

wewow launches new environmentally-friendly CD/DVD Wallet

Here at wewow we have been very excited about World Environment Day 2009.  In the wewow offices we have had a bake sale to raise money for the Forest of Bradford and have spent time actively looking for new ways to reduce our carbon footprint.

 

We are also pleased to announce the launch of the newest edition to our eco-friendly CD & DVD packaging range - the WowWallet with window.  This optical media package can be produced from FSC accredited board or 100% recycled board.  The window at the front of the wallet allows the package to be customized by inserting a CD booklet, which can be printed with vegetable based inks, rather than full colour print.  Because the wallet itself does not need to be printed with branding, the wallets can be produced in bulk thereby reducing costs and waste.  Furthermore, customers can buy the wallets in bulk and simply produce new booklets for new editions of their CD or DVD, rather than having to throw away excess wallets with printed artwork which is no longer appropriate.  Therefore, this new product is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for projects of all sizes.

 

This latest offering from wewow is part of their unique range of bespoke green packaging.  Further information can be found at here or can be requested from the wewow sales team.

World Environment Day

As World Environment Day 2009 is on 5^th June, we have decided to zoom in on some of the environmental issues surrounding the optical media industry.  This month, we will be publishing a series of blogs offering practical advice and guidance on how to make your media project eco-friendly.

  

CD/DVD packaging is coming under close scrutiny at the moment as the industry looks to improve on the impact its products have upon the environment.  The question is what should customers look for when selecting environmentally-friendly packaging?

  

The best way to explore the various eco-friendly options that are available is to deal with a supplier who is leading the way with environmentally friendly media packaging.  Not only will they be experts in this area and able to offer you lots of information and guidance, they won’t be afraid to try something new.  This area of the industry is growing quickly and eco-friendly media packaging experts are constantly researching new eco-friendly options and packaging designs.

  

wewow have been keen to take the lead in reducing the industries carbon footprint by developing a range of eco-friendly packaging options as alternatives to the traditional plastic based products.  The wowPak set the ball rolling as wewow’s first packaging option to be manufactured entirely from FSC accredited board, meaning that the wowPak is made only from sustainable sources.  The plastic tray was replaced by the unique pop up compartment which securely holds the disc in place and the entire CD/DVD pack can be printed with vegetable based inks.

  

Following the success of wowPak, wewow have gone on to develop the WowWallet, which has become one of the most popular developments within the industry this year.  Similar to wowPak, WowWallet is made from FSC accredited paperboard, printed with vegetable based inks and there is not a plastic tray in sight.  In order to reduce the products carbon emissions further, wewow have introduced an option to finish the WowWallet with a bio-degradable laminate and the wallet can be secured with bio-degradable shrink wrap.

  

wewow are dedicated to developing their range of eco-friendly CD & DVD packaging and are set to expand the range in the coming months.  In our next blog entry we will focus on the benefits of using eco-friendly packaging in comparison to traditional plastic packages.
