New Blu-ray Disc to be Made of Corn

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the homegrown-storage dept.

aws910 writes "I've often thrown away a CD and wondered how long it will take to biodegrade. Pioneer has developed a blu-ray disc that is made of corn. If this disc is widely used, it may be the only easily biodegradable computer part/accessory (with the exception of pizza). Now I wonder what would happen to one of those new discs if you put one in the microwave for 5 seconds." While the idea of a corn disc isn't new, it's the first Blu-ray version of it.

    since they are putting unmodified maize kernels onto the disc there is no doubt that it'll pop.

    However, aws910 desperately tried to be funny. There is no reason to keep it coming (2 jokes/per submission is an impertinent behavior - seriously)
