USB Source of Shenzen China Puts Forth New Flash Drive Technology That Consumes Less Than 2% of the Energy Compared to Energy Consumption of Conventional CD Technology

Phoenix, AZ, April 02, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Last year over 3 billion, 1 time use CD’s were sold throughout North America and Europe. The energy required to burn information onto a CD has been measure to be as much as 100 times the amount used to load the same information onto a USB Source Flash Drive. Comparatively, the use of petrochemicals in the manufacturing process is nearly negligible when compared to the consumption of petrochemicals used in CD creation.

Multiply this use of energy, which is electrical energy often produced by burning coal, natural gas or hydro dams, by the billions of CDs burned each year and it becomes easy to see the huge positive environmental impact that the USB Source flash drive business model and its USB Source product line can have on the environment.

Eco-friendly is most often seen as picking up trash and recycling. What is often not thought about is the use of energy and how that adversely affects the environment.

“This industry is infamous for producing promotional logo items and products that are not eco-friendly. As a business paradigm the promotional products industry generally offers disposable items that quickly end up in our landfills. It is an eco-nightmare,” states USB Source spokesperson, Peter Thomas. “The goal is to not only produce “green products” but to be a totally “green” company from top to bottom. I think we have proven we are on our way to achieving that goal”

USB Source is a vertical manufacturing located in Shenzen China; they are one of the few manufacturing facilities that have achieved RoHS and WEEE compliance and are Energy Star rated. The manufacture flash drive, digital picture frames and mp3 and mp4 OEM solutions for major retail brands and are a B2B solution for promotional logo products in Europe and North America.
