What does it take to turn trash intercepted in the Rio Las Vacas in Guatemala into an LP? A lot of collaboration. This week, together with Coldplay, we announced our first collaborative product: a limited ‘Notebook Edition’ of Coldplay’s latest LP, manufactured using recycled river plastic caught by Interceptor 006 in Guatemala. There are many steps involved in the process of making trash sound good - which in this case, meant no external noise, just the clean sound of Coldplay's new album "Moon Music". Thanks to Coldplay, and all partners involved in helping us turn river plastic into music: Biosfera GT, Compuetos y Derivados, Morssinkhof - Rymoplast, and Sonopress GmbH.
Coldplay is an inspiration for humanity through their music and their actions
Why not educate the Guatemalan people to stop littering plastic into the rivers and oceans? A country wide radio and TV campaign of guilt and punishment, fines etc, should turn the country around. That plastic filth is abhorrent.
the way out is, just to stop to produce a plastic bottles for water minimum..companys make a profit with plastic. dont give a s..t about environment .. but the impact and the consequences will hit them too . wenn wir buy less in plastic, we will support the glassware industrie and safe the environment and achieve be much healthier
The only way to stop this is to either ban single use plastic or sue the manufacturers out of existence. I grew up with out single use plastic and our lives were fine. Glass recycles well and plastic doesn’t and really we aren’t recycle very much at all.
Unbelievable this much cr*p is flowing into the ocean from just one river.
Looks nice and efficient, but it’s explicit that these morons throw everything (waste) in the river! Normally you take measures at the source of problems not end of pipe…. This is totally criminal behavior of the population.
It is really great that existing plastic can be recycled this way!!! Thank you all for this initiative!!However, it is very important to STOP generating this amount of plastic....it isn't enough to recycle it!... plastic is plastic...
Luv this, cleaning up the environment, creating a revenue stream, putting people to work, this is the win-win we all need to support around the world.

2moDoesn't this video just blow your mind and bring into reality why we all need to eliminate the use of single use plastic?! Grandviewresearch.com states Americans purchase about 50 billion water bottles per year, averaging about 13 bottles per month for every person in the U.S.! That means by using a Culligan BOTTLELESS Water Dispenser, you could save A LOT of single use plastic from the environment! According to healthyhumanlife.com, Americans throw away 35 billion empty water bottles a year. Of those, only 12 percent are recycled! So the only way to actually keep single use plastic water bottles from ending up in rivers, landfills, and the oceans, is to STOP using them! Try a Culligan BOTTLELESS water dispenser with no obligation in your office ASAP!
