World of Books - Circular Economy Book Seller and Recycler

The UK alone produces 200m tonnes of waste per year. World of Books, a market-leading ‘circular economy’ technology business, has pioneered the reuse and recycling of books that might otherwise go to landfill – the biggest contributor to carbon emissions of any waste disposal treatment.

World of Books will scale up its efforts to avert carbon emissions, firstly by increasing the re-use of books that would otherwise have been pulped, and secondly by reducing demand for virgin pulp through recycling. Recycling a book results in 38% less emissions compared to landfill, while making cardboard with the recycled material is 24% more efficient in terms of emissions than using virgin material. Reusing a book causes negligible carbon emissions apart from logistics, thereby resulting in c. 93% less emissions than recycling.
