EcoRecord® aligns the music industry with broader climate and sustainability goals. In addition to its recyclability, EcoRecord®, eliminates the need for natural gas and steam in production, cutting CO₂ emissions in the manufacturing process by up to 85% compared to traditional PVC vinyl records. According to the 2024 survey by Key Production, demand for sustainable music formats is rising rapidly. The study found that 69% of vinyl buyers would purchase more if records were sustainably produced, and 77% were willing to pay a premium for eco-conscious formats. As sustainability becomes a growing priority across industries, including entertainment, EcoRecord® presents a scalable, lower-impact alternative for music labels and artists worldwide.
Sustainability and Quality
“We want to lead the music industry in offering sustainable alternatives while preserving the audio quality that listeners expect,” said Sven Deutschmann, CEO of Sonopress. “EcoRecord® is a huge step in that direction — made possible through close collaboration with trusted partners like Indorama Ventures, whose specialty co-polymer materials meet the technical and sustainability standards this format demands.”
