Sustainability

Here at The Willoughby Book Club, we believe that books bring joy, connection, and discovery, and we want that joy to be passed on without harming the planet. We’ve been working to make our subscriptions as sustainable as possible, so every parcel of stories is a gift to both the reader and the world we share.

Thoughtful Packaging

Every subscription arrives beautifully wrapped, and we’ve made sure that this doesn’t come at the environment’s expense. All of our packaging is fully recyclable; from the paper we use to the stickers that decorate each parcel. We’ve even ensured that our stickers are printed using biodegradable ink, and that our tape is recyclable too.

A Second Life for Our Wraps

We hope that our packaging doesn’t just get recycled, but reused. Many of our subscribers have turned our book wraps into gift paper, craft projects, or creative keepsakes. It’s a small, simple way to extend the life of what we send, and to keep the joy of receiving a book parcel going just a little longer.

Planting for the Future

Sustainability is about more than just packaging, it’s about giving back. Each year, we plant eight trees for every member of our team in covenanted woodland, protecting habitats and creating spaces that will thrive for generations. It’s our way of balancing the stories we share today with the future we’re helping to grow.

A Journey We’re Proud Of

We know that sustainability isn’t a destination, but a journey. We’re proud of the steps we’ve taken so far, and we’re always looking for new ways to improve. Every parcel we send carries not just a book, but a promise: to keep treading lightly, caring deeply, and growing greener with every story.
