The world's first album released as a 140g EcoRecord rPET LP, made from recycled PET. Each LP is made entirely from, on average, nine recycled plastic bottles.
Coldplay have today announced the release of their highly-anticipated tenth album, Moon
Music. The record will land in stores and on streaming services on October 4, 2024.
Moon Music, which was produced by Max Martin, is available to pre-order everywhere now.
LIMITED FIRST EDITION RELEASE
In an effort to reduce waste, the first edition run of Moon Music (both EcoRecord rPET LP and
EcoCD) will be strictly limited and produced at a higher specification than any future editions. All
First Edition EcoRecord rPET LP products will be individually numbered.
NEW FORMATS AND NEW SUSTAINABILITY STANDARDS
In tandem with Coldplay’s ground-breaking sustainability measures on their current tour - which
has so far produced 59% less CO2e emissions than their previous stadium tour - the band have
gone to great lengths to make the physical release of Moon Music as sustainable as possible.
This will be the world’s first album released as a 140g EcoRecord rPET LP, with each copy
containing nine recycled PET-plastic bottles recovered from post-consumer waste. This will
prevent the manufacture of more than 25 metric tonnes of virgin plastic, and provide an 85%
reduction in manufacturing process CO2 emissions/kg compared to traditional 140g vinyl.
Additionally, the band have collaborated with long-time partners The Ocean Cleanup to create
an additional format: the Notebook Edition EcoRecord rPET LP. The rPET for this edition
comprises 70% river plastic, intercepted by The Ocean Cleanup from the Rio Las Vacas,
Guatemala, and prevented from reaching the Gulf of Honduras and the Atlantic Ocean.
The CD editions of Moon Music will be the world’s first to be released on EcoCD, created from
90% recycled polycarbonate, sourced from post-consumer waste streams. This will provide at
least a 78% CO2/kg emission reduction, and avoid the manufacture of more than five metric
tonnes of virgin plastic.
