Getting Involved: Leading the Book Sustainability Project

Introduction

Hey there! Ever wondered what happens to all those old books that no one reads anymore? Well, the Book Sustainability Project has a pretty awesome answer. We're all about making sure "no book is wasted." Let's dive into how we're reshaping the book industry for a greener future and how you can join us!

Our Vision: No Book Wasted

Cutting Landfill Waste

Our mission is simple: we want to keep books out of landfills. Instead of tossing them, we find new and creative ways to reuse them, whether it's through recycling, repurposing, or finding new homes for them.

Renewing Paper Goods

There’s so much potential in old books! From creating new recycled paper products to exploring innovative uses across different industries, the possibilities are endless.

How We Work

Collaborating Across Industries

Partnerships with Publishers and Authors

We team up with publishers and authors to find sustainable solutions for unsold or damaged books. This helps reduce waste and promotes a circular economy in publishing.

Engaging Resellers and Marketplaces

Second-hand bookstores and online platforms play a crucial role in redirecting books to us for recycling or repurposing. Together, we ensure books find new life instead of going to waste.

Innovative Recycling Partnerships

Recycling companies are our heroes—they turn old books into fresh paper products through advanced recycling processes that are both efficient and eco-friendly.
