Our group
Founded in 2002, World of Books is a circular economy, for profit company that supports charities and protects the planet by enabling more goods to be reused. We are pioneers in the re-use and recycling of unwanted books, recycling about 80 million books each year, equivalent to around half a million trees.
We achieve this through three direct-to-consumer e-commerce businesses, supported by our own technology.
