Sonopress Launches ‘Eco CD’, Premiering With New Coldplay Album
Celebrated pop-rock band Coldplay has just given a sold-out concert in Budapest – and they were joined on stage by a record player and an “Eco Record” produced by Sonopress. The Gütersloh-based company has now also produced the first “Eco CDs” for the band and their label – yet another innovation that saves large amounts of CO2 during production.
Once again, Sonopress has the privilege of producing an Eco Record for a global star. The environmentally friendly version of the new edition of Ed Sheeran’s 2014 double album “X” is already in great demand ahead of its official release. The company plans to expand its production of Eco Records; large orders have already been received.
Word of the new “Eco Record” from storage media manufacturer Sonopress, which is part of Bertelsmann Marketing Services, has spread to experts in London. Three sound engineers from the legendary Abbey Road Studios visited the Gütersloh-based company to learn more about the eco-friendly new vinyl LP.
The “Eco Record” from the Bertelsmann Marketing Services’ storage media manufacturer Sonopress is in high demand: the environmentally friendly new edition of the album “Demidevil” from American rapper Ashnikko was released at the occasion of “Record Store Day” and is as good as sold out. The company has already received more “Eco Record” orders.

Huge success for Sonopress: The high-tech company, which is among the world’s leading manufacturers of optical storage media, succeeded in completing the process development of the three-layer Ultra HD Blu-ray disc earlier than expected.

Sonopress GmbH, a company in the Bertelsmann Group, has produced the highly anticipated Ultra HD Blu-ray disc for the US market on behalf of major Hollywood player Warner Bros. The first titles to be released in this format in early March include Mad Max: Fury Road, The LEGO Movie and blockbusters like San Andreas and Pan. UHD BD format features a resolution that is four times higher than traditional Blu-ray discs plus higher storage density, and provides markedly improved contrast in 4K format on the newest generation of TV screens. The innovative new data storage medium has a capacity between 66 and 100 gigabytes.
