I head this quite some time ago. They're thinner than regular CDs and get stuck inside the CD-Roms.
 
This is a common problem. If you own a mac with a slot loading dvd / cd rom then only use full size / full thickness discs otherwise you are in for some expense. If you really must read them then put them in an external usb drive and you should have no problems.
 
Never heard of an EcoDisc. And clearly I am never going to use one, despite being a Green/Eco friendly mac user.

Why is the EcoDisc thinner?
 
Yrs ago someone gave me their Orange telecom mini disc to look at on my desktop mac, what a nightmare the surgery was, one hand held the paper clip and the other the butter knife and then along came sony but fortunately I didnt like that singer, since then I'm very cautious about what goes into my drive. We have 2 slot dvd monitors and are very strict what goes in them too. I learnt my major lesson off VHS tapes though

Who needs a reason? They're eco, and that's enough.

How can they be ECO if they cause major damage?

The environmental and financial costs alone of transporting the damaged goods to a repair shop out way that reason. And then, if the device must be replaced then you must consider the cost of obtaining of raw materials and chemicals, the manufacturing and labour, the shipping and packaging of the replacement parts, and the disposal of the the damaged parts.

So, again. How can they be ECO if the above has to be taken into consideration? Clearly, there doesn't seem to have been much research and development into the new media.

The damage they cause to computers doesn't matter. Being labelled eco, they'll prevent the ice caps from melting, polar bears from starving, Pacific atolls from being inundated, electric cars to be viable and hurricanes to become gentle breezes.

Of course it matters. You have to look at the whole picture, everything is interdependent. The benefits must out way the disadvantages. So the EcoDisc may use less energy and raw materials to manufacture, thus reducing the impact on the environment. But when it causes damage to the devices its' eco / environmental benefits are reduced due to the high costs that I previously mentioned for repairs, thus it's impact on the environment is worse not better.
