Sanyo has the recipe for biodegradable corn CDS

source: PC Pro | Apr 06, 04 | submitted by Ryan

Japan - Sanyo has developed a biodegradable CD made from corn, in an attempt to reduce the number of undigestible polycarbonate discs currently being buried in landfill sites.

Together with Mitsui Chemicals, Sanyo has a process that converts corn into unrefined dextrose which is then fermented to produce lactic acid. This is then converted into a polymer to form the basis for the disc.
