Ecopac (not related to Eco-Pak) is the brand name used by Universal Music for a CD packaging design devised by PaperForm Holdings BV.

In its role as the most unabashed admission to date that record companies consider music to be a completely disposable commodity, the Ecopac reduces CD packaging to the barest functional form possible -- a cardboard folder wrapped around a tray composed of extruded paper mush -- while still maintaining a $9.98 price point. At that price you don't even get a booklet with the CD; it has to be downloaded over the Internet.
