Re-cover Journals located in Halifax, is an inspiration to all of us who reuse and recycle. The company employs three people on a part-time basis who work hard to transform used hardcover books and records into new and innovative journals and photo albums.

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.

Maggy Burns, owner of Re-cover Journals, accepted the RRFB Nova Scotia Mobius Environmental Award for Innovation in Waste Management.
