LISTEN: Coldplay to Relaunch Albums on Injection-Molded Recycled Plastic

Eric Sorensen

British rock band Coldplay plans to re-release its albums on 140-gram EcoRecords made from recycled plastic bottles and produced through injection molding technology. 

According to Warner Music Group, manufacturers make each EcoRecord from 100% recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a type of plastic engineered for circular reuse and used by U.S. beverage companies to make bottles. Warner Music Group expects the EcoRecord manufacturing process to cut carbon emissions by 85% compared to conventional vinyl production.
