Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, hardback books can be recycled, but the process differs from paperback books due to the durable covers. Some local recycling programs may require you to remove the cover and binding before placing the pages in a paper recycling bin, while professional businesses such as ourselves can handle the entire book.
If recycling isn’t an option, consider alternatives like donating unwanted books to a charity shop, local library, thrift store, or a book swap event. This way, you can give books a second life instead of having to throw away books.
Recycled books go through a process where the paper is separated, pulped, and reused to create new paper products. Through a recycling centre, the pages of paperback books and hardbacks can re-enter the production cycle.
For example, old books can be disposed of and transformed into new notebooks, writing paper, or printer paper through the recycling process.
A book pulping service is a specialised solution that involves shredding and recycling unwanted, damaged, or unsellable books. This includes removing the cover and recycling the paper block by mixing it with water and chemicals.
These services are often used by publishers, bookstores, libraries, and organisations looking to dispose of large volumes of books sustainably and securely.
