Book Box Company Inc.

Brian Egan has been in the business of recycling for over ten years. He is the founder of a green e-business called the Book Box Company Inc., which specializes in recycling old books by hollowing them out and turning them into secret storage books. With operations in rural Black Creek, BC, Canada, Egan’s is the pinnacle of low-impact, family-run businesses. The company’s studio is a converted barn from which nothing is discarded that can be recycled and nothing is thrown away that can be reused. “Ours is a company and product with purpose,” says Egan. “Everything we do, from production to distribution, reflects our commitment to social and environmental responsibility.” “Our products are unique in that they are made from real, recycled books,” says Egan. “Some books come with a slight imperfection or scuff here and there, but that’s part of the fun and speaks to the lifeline of the book.”
