Discover Re-cover

Re-cover Journals was the 2005 Mobius Environmental Award recipient for innovation in waste reduction. The Halifax-based company makes reusing and recycling look good by recovering old books and LP covers to create one-of-a-kind journals and photo albums. From the Mobius website:

Using simple technology and leaving nothing to waste, Re-cover Journals manages to divert about 2,000 lbs of old books and 300 lbs of old LPs from the landfill each year. There materials once considered waste are converted into high value craft items and sold to over 60 retail outlets across Canada. Re-cover Journals is an example of ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit.
