Plenty of disposable discs accumulate after awhile, CDs and DVDs which, for some reason, become junk. Are there secondary uses for these interesting bits of physical material?

As a recording service over several years one of our jobs was printing labels direct-to-disc, and when printing a “sample” or “test” label, we used the junk discs so that we wouldn’t waste a good disc. During that time we learned that almost anyone we asked had a batch of useless discs.

This morning I was re-arranging stacks of pointless discs and again I began wondering, could they be used to build something or tile something or other clever application?

I bring it to the think tank for your ideas.
