Coldplay Releases EcoRecords for Sustainability

In an exciting development for music fans and environmental advocates alike, Coldplay has announced the re-release of their beloved albums as EcoRecords, crafted from recycled plastic bottles. This initiative emphasizes the band's commitment to sustainability while still delivering the quality sound expected from high-end vinyl.

What are EcoRecords?

EcoRecords are a groundbreaking format that utilizes 140g of clear recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) sourced entirely from post-consumer products. Each record incorporates an average of nine recycled plastic bottles, highlighting the potential for reusing materials that would otherwise contribute to landfills.

Compared to traditional vinyl production, the EcoRecord production method reduces carbon emissions during the manufacturing process by an impressive 85%. This significant reduction is achieved through advanced injection-moulding technology. Fans can enjoy the same high fidelity sound they love while feeling good about the lower environmental impact of their purchases.

A Look Back: Coldplay’s Journey Towards Sustainability

Coldplay's focus on sustainability isn't new; it has been an ongoing commitment in their career. Following the success of their tenth album, Moon Music, which was released solely on EcoRecords, this new initiative marks an expansion of their efforts to make music more eco-friendly. The band has already made strides by reducing the carbon footprint of their Music Of The Spheres World Tour by 59%.

Jen Ivory, Managing Director at Parlophone, articulated the significance of this collaboration with Coldplay: "We are incredibly proud to partner with artists such as Coldplay who share our commitment to a more sustainable future for music. The shift to EcoRecord LP for their releases is a testament to what's possible when innovation meets intention."
