We're on a mission to encourage the mindful reuse of books, preserving knowledge and reducing environmental impact, all for the betterment of our planet.
The problem
Here at Reuseabook we understand that we have a part to play in addressing the issue of sustainability, and in creating a way of doing business that protects rather than destroys our planet.
The overarching current consumer mindset is one of “buy, use, dispose”, a model that damages the environment and unnecessarily wastes products that still have plenty of life left to give.
#Reuse
We are determined to make a positive contribution to changing this mindset. Our goal has been to build a business model that enables us to create a cycle of buying, selling and reusing for as many books as we can with the aim of eliminating waste entirely from the book sector.
It’s a simple business model. It does take time, care and attention but we’re passionate about sending absolutely zero to landfill and doing our bit to save the planet, one book at a time.
A new chapter
The books that make it through and onto our warehouse shelves are then stacked and stored, and made available to avid readers and book worms around the globe through our online partner platforms. The remainder is sent onward to pulping plants for repurposing back into new forms of paper.
It’s what we do, and we love it – writing new chapters for every book.
