Coldplay is to release all 10 of its studio albums on records made from recycled plastic bottles.
The Chris Martin-fronted British pop band will make LPs such as Parachutes, Mylo Xyloto and Music of the Spheres available on so-called EcoRecords.
Label Parlophone, which is part of the Warner Music Group, said the format created just 15 per cent of the carbon emissions of vinyl production.
Each clear 140g EcoRecord is manufactured from nine recycled post-consumer polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles.
Coldplay’s most recent album, Moon Music, was released on the format last year.
Parlophone managing director Jen Ivory 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.”
