The recycling of old books on campus meets the requirements of sustainable development, and economic and social development is coordinated with ecological protection and rational utilization of resources. The resources needed for development can be used to the greatest extent, while ensuring sustainable development as much as possible. The reuse of books improves the utilization rate of paper, saves social resources and prolongs the service life of books, but it does not reduce the reading experience.
Current situation of recycling used books:
At present, the recycling of second-hand books in China is still in the exploratory stage. After investigation, the price of recycled books on domestic second-hand book trading websites is low. In terms of purchasing books, the types of books on the second-hand book trading platform are scattered and the quality of books is uneven. Large price fluctuation and strong profitability are some of the main reasons that restrict the development of online second-hand bookstores.
Physical Second-hand Bookstore With the advent of the digital age, people are gradually accustomed to digital reading and online book purchase. Under the influence of the popularization and application of the Internet, people's demand for physical bookstores has decreased, which leads to the increasingly narrow development space of physical bookstores [1], and the development of the second-hand book market is even more unsustainable.
