BOOK ON RECYCLING IN THE PIPELINE
We are about to publish a book for a client on the topic of starting and growing a successful recycling business and reading the manuscript has been an eye-opener for me.
So, you recall how I said a few days back that someone contacted us at Rhibbon Nation about a manuscript he had developed, which had been gathering dust in one of the desk drawers in his study. He wanted us to polish and publish it.
Well, it’s the first book we are publishing in 2024, and I must say that its contents have intrigued me to no end. Truthfully, I did not know the first thing about the world of waste recycling and the circular economy until I read the manuscript in question.
My ignorance was so thick that I could not tell how a business like Wecyclers makes money. Strangely, I never researched it! Now, I know that any company operating in the recycling sector, if run properly, can generate a high income.
There are many opportunities for a recycling business to generate revenue because there are many products that can be recycled, including plastic waste (such as PET bottles – those used for bottling soft drinks), electronic waste or E-waste (such as old computers, mobile phones, printers, and other electronic devices), scrap metals (such as Aluminum and steel cans), paper and cardboard (such as newspapers, magazines, office paper, packaging boxes, and cartons), used batteries, used tyres, and glass container (such as glass bottles and jars).
It’s a circular economy; most waste products can be turned into new products. Isn’t that something?
Anyway, this book we are bringing out for our client is a treasure trove for entrepreneurs, policymakers, professionals, and researchers in waste recycling and environmental management.
So, if you operate in the waste recycling and environmental sustainability sector or are interested in setting up a waste recycling business, watch this space for when the book will be released. It will not take long, I promise!
