Coldplay to reissue albums on records made from recycled plastic bottles
Jen Ivory, managing director of the band's 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.'

Each 140g LP is made up of approximately nine recycled bottles, after they are cleaned, processed into small pellets and then moulded into records.
Coldplay will re-release 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 the series.
The band's latest album Moon Music, released last year, has already been released on an EcoRecord LP.
It comes after Coldplay claimed they had exceeded their climate change target while attempting to put on one of the greenest tours in history.
In 2024, the group claimed its CO2 emissions were 59% less for the first two years of their Music Of The Spheres Tour compared to their stadium tour from 2016 to 2017, surpassing an initial 50% target.
The group used rechargeable batteries fuelled by renewable sources for the shows along with other efforts.
Coldplay have long campaigned for climate action, with frontman Chris Martin saying in 2019 they would not launch a globe-trotting tour for their album Everyday Life due to environmental concerns.
In October last year, Martin claimed his band would stop making albums after their 12th record, with Moon Music being their 10th.
All of the London-formed band's albums have reached number one on the UK albums chart and the group have also had two number one singles in Viva La Vida and Paradise.
The latest series of reissues will be released on August 15 with pre-orders open on Coldplay's website.

EXCLUSIVE Dakota Johnson shows off killer bikini body with BFF Kate Hudson on wild girls trip in Ibiza after Chris Martin heartbreak
Dakota Johnson showed ex Chris Martin exactly what he's missing—stripping down and turning up the heat during a jaw-dropping bikini showdown with BFF Kate Hudson in Ibiza on Thursday. The Fifty Shades star, 35, flaunted her flawless physique aboard a luxury yacht in the celeb-packed hotspot, just weeks after quietly calling it quits with the Coldplay frontman, 48. The duo, who first got together in 2017, and got engaged years later, finally pulled the plug in June—but according to an exclusive DailyMail source, a secret A-list insider is already working behind the scenes on a reunion. Now, fresh off a wild night out in Italy with Ricky Martin, Dakota was ready to let loose again—this time slipping into a skimpy white two-piece while Oscar nominee Kate turned heads in a bright yellow bikini. Dakota cooled off with a drink as she soaked up the rays and took in the sights—while serving plenty of her own. Kate couldn't resist showing off her pert derrière as she climbed back onto the boat, flashing a cheeky grin. The Fifty Shades star, 35, flaunted her flawless physique aboard a luxury yacht in the celeb-packed hotspot, just weeks after quietly calling it quits with the Coldplay frontman, 48 Also on board was Kate's stylist Sophie Lopez, who brought more bikini heat to the scene with her own bombshell look. The jaw-dropping bikini parade came after Dakota and Kate enjoyed an al fresco dinner at Rome's iconic Pierluigi restaurant—where they got a sweet surprise. Ricky Martin, 53, happened to be dining nearby and casually walked over to say hello to the Johnson-Hudson crew. The Livin' La Vida Loca singer pulled up a chair and joined the group, chatting and laughing with Dakota, Kate, and their friends. The trio shared hugs and animated conversation, soaking up the gorgeous weather and the enchanting Roman atmosphere. The wild girls' trip comes after Martin sparked speculation with a cryptic shout-out to Dakota at Coldplay's Las Vegas show in June. 'Thank you so much everybody,' the Paradise singer said to the sold-out crowd at Allegiant Stadium, before unexpectedly referencing Johnson's latest film. 'Be kind to yourself, be kind to each other,' he admonished before adding, 'Don't forget to see Materialists! We love you!' in video shared by Deuxmoi. While the person who shot the video seemed to think the promotion meant 'THEYRE NOT BROKEN UP,' others disagreed. 'I can totally seeing him supporting her even after the break up,' another stated. 'You can breakup with someone and still be supportive. Look at him and GP,' said one fan, referring to the hitmaker's successful relationship with ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow. 'I mean, didn't he help pioneer conscious uncoupling?' asked a fan, referring to the way Martin and Paltrow formally parted in 2014, although their divorce was not finalized until two years later. Reps for the pair have not officially confirmed their split. source said the 50 Shades of Grey star 'held a flame for them to be together because she loved him so much and loved his kids so much.' The insider continued: 'Dakota is devastated that she isn't going to be around his kids as much anymore, but wants them to know that she is always there for them.' They added that there is a chance the pair may reconcile but 'right now, being separated will do wonders if they were to have any type of future together.' They added that there is a chance the pair may reconcile but 'right now, being separated will do wonders if they were to have any type of future together.' DailyMail first reported trouble between the pair in August 2024 but a rep later confirmed they were still together. The pair had a brief rumored split in 2019 which was alleged to be over Martin pushing for them to have children, but they quickly got back together. Martin famously split from Paltrow the mother of his two children Apple, 21, and Moses, 19, in March 2014 after ten years of marriage. The then-Hollywood power couple described their separation at the time as a 'conscious uncoupling' and had their divorce finalized in July 2016. Martin was reported to be in an on-and-off relationship with actress Annabelle Wallis before they split in August 2017. He was first seen with Dakota at a sushi restaurant in Los Angeles in October 2017 when they were reported to be 'cozy, laughing and affectionate'. Dakota, the daughter of Don Johnson, 75, and Melanie Griffith, 68, was spotted a month later at a Coldplay concert in Buenos Aires, Argentina, leading to fans posing social media pictures of her enjoying the show. The couple were seen out on more dates around Los Angeles in early 2018. But it was nearly a year later that they made their first openly public appearance together at Stella McCartney's Autumn 2018 Collection show in LA. Dakota appeared to confirm her relationship with Martin in an interview with Tatler in September 2018 when she said: 'I'm not going to talk about it, but I am very happy.' The following November, she is said to have met Paltrow, her new husband Brad Falchuk, and Martin's children at a Thanksgiving dinner The couple were spotted again with Paltrow and Falchuk on the beach in the Hamptons, New York, in August 2019. Paltrow opened up about her ex-husband's relationship with Dakota in a 2020 interview with Harper's Bazaar, describing how the actress had become part of her family. She said: 'I love her. I can see how it would seem weird because it's sort of unconventional. But I think, in this case, just having passed through it iteratively, I just adore her.' Johnson gushed over Martin's children in a 2024 interview, saying: 'I love those kids like my life depends on it. With all my heart.'
