The Circular Books Project will create a circular economy and more sustainable method of manufacturing for the UK publishing sector by exploring innovative materials and methods of book production for children's books that will extend book life, enable them to be re-manufactured at end-of-use and reduce the volume of books reaching landfill.It will also lower the high carbon footprint of the children's books industry -- printing in the UK instead of relying on overseas imports.Focusing on remanufacturing waste high-density polythene plastic (from sources such as carrier bags and milk bottles) into a pliable, printable and robust 'paper', we plan to create a series of colourful and engaging books for babies and toddlers. The Project helps achieve UK publishing goals of ending air freight, halving its carbon footprint by 2030 and being carbon neutral by 2050\.

循环图书项目将为英国出版业创建循环经济和更可持续的制造方法，探索儿童图书的创新材料和图书生产方法，从而延长图书寿命，使它们能够在报废后重新制造。使用并减少到达垃圾填埋场的书籍数量。这也将降低儿童书籍行业的高碳足迹——在英国印刷而不是依赖海外进口。专注于废旧高密度聚乙烯塑料的再制造（来源我们计划将塑料袋和奶瓶等材料转化为柔韧、可印刷且坚固的“纸张”，为婴儿和幼儿制作一系列色彩缤纷、引人入胜的书籍。 该项目帮助实现英国出版业的目标，即到 2030 年将其碳足迹减少一半，到 2050 年实现碳中和。
