Are you thinking "How do I set up a reuse system"? Or "How do I set up a reuse system for free"?

In this session we talk to Mike Howroyd from the University of Leeds about the reuse program he developed to trade surplus assets. In my opinion Mike has been leading the way in the public sector around reuse for the last 10 years. Google thinks the same- If you are in the UK and you google "Reuse and University" you will see Mike gets the top spot ahead of any other University (and Warp It!). He was the first one I had seen set up their own internal online platform.

He has been on his own reuse journey and in this article we discuss how to set up a high performing reuse system.You can download the University of Leeds Case Study at the end of this article.

MIke set up his own internal system which ran for 5 years and was very successful he then saw some additional benefits of using Warp it and migrated over to our system in late 2017.

Welcome to this latest blog post, where we take a look at the bizarre or unexpected things that can drive reuse or surpls assets furniture and equipment in an organisation.

It’s important to note that these are random benefits we never thought of before we set  off on our mission of making reuse mainstream. 

They are anecdotes have been fed back to us from customers. It is also important to note that only some of these things are measurable.

Picture the scene...

There are ten people in a boardroom. Only two of them support your ideas for X Y or Z. You are questioning whether you have done everything you could do to tip the scales in your favour. Twenty minutes through your presentation you can feel the thick air of the room weighing down on you. You’ve lost the attention of your audience. You can feel the “no” coming.

Warp It welcomes Ruth Innes from NHS Highland for an interview talking about communications, building interest, winning the support of departments, and trees…

Spring is upon us! Open up the windows, let the cool breeze in and feel the sun on your skin. It’s nice, right? Do you know what else is nice? Having a working space and environment that is clean and tidy and makes you super happy to be at work!

Work smart not hard!

But we have no storage we cannot reuse!

Welcome! In this blog post we’re going to look at how you can use a thing called "the wishlist" to run your reuse program without the need for and take the pressure off storage.

What is a wishlist exactly? Remember when you were a child writing letters to Father Christmas? Well, it’s similar to that, it’s a list of things you would like to receive, except, with Warp It, they’re free, and you can get them all year round, not just on Christmas day!
