Other than recycling, there are many advocates supporting the notion that buying secondhand books is a sustainable choice that reduces the environmental impact by skipping the resource-intensive production process of new books. It helps cut down on carbon emissions, minimizes waste in landfills, and conserves natural resources.
ThriftBooks, an online new and used bookseller, has officially launched its BuyBack program, providing a platform for customers to sell their unwanted books directly to the company for cash or store credit. Following an eight-month beta testing phase, the program is now fully operational, offering a sustainable solution for book lovers looking to declutter their shelves.
