At a packed reception at Sony's London headquarters last night (13th May)  Tony Wadsworth, chairman of the BPI, launched the new initiative and emphasised the importance of  the new Industry Green (IG) mark from Julies Bicycle to a cross music industry audience. The 2009 BRITS album was the first UK album to be certified with the IG mark which will give consumers a clear indication that materials used in a CDs packaging have met its standards for environmentally friendly products and services - and meetS consumer demands for a more green approach to packaging.The launch also featured exhibitions from a range of manufacturers who are now offering green packaging and these contacts are below.
