In the era of optical discs, VCD and DVD were the standard of entertainment life in the 80s and 90s. At that time, in order to watch a movie or play a game, we used to run to video stores in search of the discs we liked. The advent of DVD players has given home entertainment a whole new look, with picture quality far superior to cassette tape players, and a single disc is large enough to hold an entire movie, making disc collection fashionable.
However, with the continuous development of science and technology and the rise of new storage devices such as USB flash drives and mobile hard disks, the disadvantages of DVD discs have gradually become prominent: large size, easy to damage, and relatively small storage capacity. With the rise of the digital age, people no longer need to run to video stores, they just need to easily search for what they need. As a result, the optical disc market gradually declined and became a thing of the past.
However, discarded VCDs and DVD discs are not worthless. Professional recyclers use advanced technology to decompose, crush and melt waste discs into recycled building materials and hardware products. This circular economy model not only reduces the waste of resources, but also effectively prevents optical discs from becoming a new source of pollution. This recycling process of optical discs is a highlight of environmental protection.
And for those VCDs and DVDs full of memories, they are gradually finding new value in the art market. In the name of "feelings", some collectors are willing to spend huge sums of money to buy out-of-print discs as a souvenir of their youth. These "sentimental disks" are not only frequently traded in the market, but also become people's memories of the past time.
On the big stage of eco-friendly creativity, discarded VCDs and DVDs also show endless possibilities. Through ingenious craftsmanship, waste is given a new lease of life. Fashionable mirrors made of reflective layers and decorative paintings made of stitching give these discarded objects a new artistic value. It's not just a tribute to the past, it's also a unique exploration of the ideas of the future.
At this intersection of past, present and future, discarded VCDs and DVDs are both memories of our past and carriers of eco-friendly creativity. By looking back to the past, innovating in the present, and looking forward to the future, together we create a better, greener era. That's another brilliance of discarded VCD and DVD discs.
