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 140 grammes LP is made up of approximately nine recycled bottles, after they are cleaned, processed into small pellets and then moulded into records. - BERNAMA-PA Media/dpa
