Julie’s Bicycle is a not for profit company established to find ways to reduce the UK music industry’s greenhouse gas emissions. We are working with science and industry to find achievable and effective solutions for the music industry and beyond.

The impact of CD packaging

Our Working Parties will be assessing the detailed carbon implications of a number of industry functions – and top of the list is CDs. We have commissioned research from Ove Arup into the carbon implications of CD packaging and business.
