Warp It’s Founder, Daniel O’Connor, is back to share his hacks for how to build a vision. In just seven steps Daniel will help you set up a framework that will guide you in the right direction for the future.

We have some huge news ✌🏼

National news!

A Warp It case study was featured in a new government waste strategy document, titled ‘Our waste, our resources: A strategy for England’.

Along with other important waste issues, this means reuse of furniture and equipment is going to take more prominence in England. 

This article has been written for those in organisations who are improving things , changing culture, embedding sustainability etc.

This article is to help you get senior commitment to your next project by getting the support of the lead of the organisation (CEO or equivalent). 

We are joined by Hannah Genders Boyd, Climate Change Intern at Historic Environment Scotland (HES).

As a public body in Scotland, HES must report on their carbon emissions and sustainability measures, as well as following waste regulations.

Things are not always perfect - how could they be?

Life is not perfect, but it still provides the opportunity to use processes that can make things better. So, despite things not going well right now, the potential for success remains, and we want to give you some ideas about how to turn your reuse project around…

Here’s the big question about Porters:

Do your porters ever complain that one day they’re making a disposal, say for example some chairs, and then the very next day they’re making a delivery of NEW chairs to a different part of the estate?

If the answer is yes, you need to continue.

The purpose of this article is to explain the benefits of reuse and in particular the Warp It Reuse System - in relation to Space Management, Decanting, and Buildings on large estates.

Perhaps you are a Space or Decant Manager, maybe you are trying to explain the benefits of reuse, or maybe you are looking to promote reuse to the Space or Decant Managers within your organisation.

Our team here at Warp It are really pleased to welcome back Elaine Gray, Purchasing Lead at NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, back for another interview.

Cast your mind to this time last year. Do you remember when we shared a very interesting and inspirational story about an NHS organisation that saved £18,000 by refurbishing 300 bins instead of buying new ones? That was thanks to Elaine Gray and her team.

Well they are now approaching another milestone- £1 million in cost avoidance from their reuse activities!!

Sometimes organisations set up their own reuse platforms. This is great! Really, it is!

Our mission is to make reuse mainstream and so it warms our cockles when we hear this!

Competition is healthy and it might just help us stumble upon the next idea for improving Warp It.

This article is for those institutions that are looking to improve their online platforms. 

The following explains the Warp It processes, so that you can take our best ideas and apply them to your platform. Aren't we generous!

First things first- our aim is to make reuse as automatic as possible.  We try to remove all of the bottle necks and friction point so that reuse is easier than buying new or ordering waste disposal.

Wherever we can save time or make things easy we know that the person will come back again to the system as it was easy! Thus making reuse normal.
