SMS proposal put on shelf
Special Media Solutions (SMS), the prison employment specialist, presented its plans for the centralised disposal of unwanted returns to the summit. The company detailed its experience in the secure destruction and recycling of high volumes of CDs and CD-ROMs for the music and computer software industries.
SMS put the price of its proposed disposal work at 10 pence per book, of which BIC said that distributors should pay three pence and retailers seven pence. BIC said the SMS proposal was the cheapest solution it had found.
But delegates opted to shelve this phase until the core returns project had been adopted more widely. Some delegates said the SMS cost was too high. Waterstone's added that it was happy to accommodate any individual distributor that wanted to use SMS in the meantime.
