Coldplay to reissue 9 of their albums on records made from recycled plastic bottles, Entertainment News
The Viva la Vida band are continuing their environmental crusade by reissuing their material on EcoRecord LPs — which are claimed to reduce carbon emissions during the manufacturing process by 85 per cent when compared to traditional vinyl production.
Jen Ivory, managing director of Coldplay's record label Parlophone, said: "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.
"It's not just about a new product, it's about pioneering manufacturing that significantly reduces environmental impact, providing fans with the same high-quality audio experience while setting a new standard for physical music production."
The band are re-issuing their debut album Parachutes (2000), A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002), X+Y (2005), Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008), Mylo Xyloto (2011), Ghost Stories (2014), A Head Full of Dreams (2015), Everyday Life (2019) and Music of the Spheres (2021) in an eco-friendly manner.
The LPs are made up of around nine recycled bottles, which are cleaned and processed into small pellets before being moulded into records.
Coldplay's most recent album — 2024's Moon Music — has already been released on an EcoRecord LP.
The Clocks band are attempting to tour in an environmentally friendly way, but frontman Chris Martin previously admitted there is still "quite a long way to go" to find a fully eco-friendly way to perform around the world.
The 48-year-old singer told BBC Radio 2 in 2021: "We've been working with some amazing brands to see how we can cut down as much of the environmental impact as possible.
"We still have quite a long way to go. But we've already come quite a long way."
Coldplay teamed up with direct air capture pioneers Climeworks to ensure that their Music of the Spheres World Tour has a net-zero carbon footprint.
They said in a statement: "Playing live and finding connections with people is ultimately why we exist as a band. We've been planning this tour for years, and we're super excited to play songs from across our whole time together.
"At the same time, we're very conscious that the planet is facing a climate crisis.
"So, we've spent the last two years consulting with environmental experts to make this tour as sustainable as possible, and, just as importantly, to harness the tour's potential to push things forward.
"We won't get everything right, but we're committed to doing everything we can and sharing what we learn. It's a work in progress and we're really grateful for the help we've had so far."

The best-dressed celebrities we spotted in Milan and Paris this men's season
There was nothing subtle about this men's season in Milan and Paris. It turned on the throttle, dishing out reconstructed codes of what menswear could be about. Prada brimmed with instinct in child-like bloomer shorts, fitted tracksuits, perfect cotton trousers in multitudes of pastel. Anthony Vaccarello offered an escape; Céleste Boursier-Mougenot's transformative installation setting the stage for Saint Laurent's signature jewel hues and slouchy silhouettes that gave attitude as much as it gave a sense of reflection on an important part of queer history. A few days later, Julian Klausner found his footing in his menswear vision for Dries Van Noten that ushered in a new era—in wistful colours, a spattering of Dries-y jacquard blooms; and silk sarongs wrapped around waists. Then came Jonathan Anderson's Dior. A tight collection that sincerely earned its standing ovation; as references from the maison's archives were made accessible, infused with the casual, and even gave us an inkling of what his upcoming womenswear might look like. A joyous first step into the world that JWA is creating for the storied maison. With each designer's runway being such a tease for the sartorial set, there was no question that the streets showed their enthusiasm in equal measure. A stomping of showgoers and beaming fashion fans were sprawled across the streets of Milan and Paris, each one dressed up in their best attire. Topping off the buzzy affair of the men's spring/summer 2026 season? The equally starry celebrity crowd, of course. The big players came out for Pharrell's Louis Vuitton; think Beyoncé and Jay-Z, J-hope, Gong Yoo, Sho Hirano, Fourth, Yuta of NCT as well as GOT7 duo: BamBam and Jackson Wang. Meanwhile, there was no shortage of stars at Prada, from house familiars Win Metawin and Sana of Twice joining Benedict Cumberbatch, Kentaro Sakaguchi, Lee Dohyun and Harris Dickinson in the front row. On the other hand, Dior brought names associated with the house and designer both, from Rihanna and Robert Pattinson, to Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist. Scroll on to see the most stylish celebrities from the men's spring/summer 2026 shows in Milan and Paris.
