Most of us would consider recycling to be a relatively new idea. However, the first book printed on recycled paper was actually published over two centuries ago, in 1801. The book was entitled Historical Account of the Substances which Have Been Used to Describe Events, and to Convey Ideas from the Earliest Date to the Invention of Paper. It was a history of the materials used to record information, written and printed by Matthias Koops, based in London, UK. The second edition of the book bore the statement: "Printed on Paper Re-Made from Old Printed and Written Paper", making it the first known book to be published on paper recycled from previous use.
