RecycLivre

Emmanuel de Courcel

“Recyclivre collects second-hand books from individuals and nonprofits and resells them online. The company manages to combine major socio-environmental benefits (all logistics handled by employees on social integration contracts, 10% of sales being refunded to nonprofits etc.) and strong economic performance (profitability – and thus sustainability, and sharp growth) thanks to high-end digital tools and algorithms allowing to optimize every step in the process, all the way from the collection to the sales of the books.”

“Recyclivre is a typical example of a simple concept paired with an exceptional execution. Collecting second-hand books to put them back on the market and thus avoid their disposal is no revolution, but David was able to create a smart and dynamic ecosystem allowing to implement that idea on a large scale, in a unique way. Beyond the project’s environmental ambition, involving professional integration organizations and refunding a share of the revenue to charitable causes demonstrates a deep solidarity commitment.
Therefore, I am very pleased to participate in this project, all the more since the founder’s straightforward personality allows for boards to be quick, effective and creative.”
