Latest trend for eco-films: Eco-friendly DVD packaging. I got a screener of "Everything's Cool," a new enviro docu (I reviewed it here) that comes out on DVD next month, to see this message on the back: "Packaging made from 100% post-consumer recycled material."

Which made me think: Surely BlogHer readers want eco-friendly covers for their CDs and DVDs too!

Tired of those plastic CD cases that break and crack and take up tons of space? Let me introduce you to the ReSleeve, an eco-friendly CD or DVD sleeve made from 100% recycled fibers (56% post-consumer, 44% post-industrial). Even the Sundance Channel's started using these nifty little eco-sleeves. You can also opt for the RePlay, which has 2 slots, one for your CD or DVD, the other for liner notes.

ReSleeves and RePlays are made by Sustainable Group, which also makes ReBinders, ReFolders, RePouches, and other office supplies -- all made of recycled materials and assembled in Washington state. Sustainable Group even offers replacement Rebinder covers, complete with a how-to guide, so that those metal 3-ring thingies don’t end up in landfills.

And conveniently, you can now get ReSleeves, ReBinders, and other products from The Sustainable Group at your nearest Whole Foods. They'll be branded as "New Leaf" products; New Leaf’s basically providing branding for the Sustainable Group products sold at Whole Foods.

And these eco-friendly Re-products are collecting fans. Allie of CelebCause recommends the ReBinders; Kara of Treehugger can't wait until a major record company decides to use ReSleeves. And Living Cinema likes that the ReSleeves at Whole Foods come with a descriptive "environmental benefits statement” on the back, "letting us know the resources that are saved by reusing 1000 pounds of post consumer content."

So close the recycling loop by opting against those yucky vinyl folders and plastic CD cases and choosing recycled goods.
