As we return back to and a new (better!) world we need relevant guidance to that furniture equipment and asset reuse can be carried out safely.  This guidance is designed for internal and external reuse including the need to transfer items from the site to members working from home.  

In this article, we are going to give you our safe reuse transfer template.  After discussion with the internal authority on infection control, please use this template to add into the customisable messages on your Warp It system.

Risk assessments will have been carried out for re-opening and measures put in place to minimise the risk of virus transmission- but hopefully by using the custom messages system on Warp It you can further minimise the risk.

Please attend the next Warp It Admin meeting to discuss this issue. 

What’s holding you back from winning the team over?

Why is it such a challenge to accomplish your project’s goals?

Join us in the first of our regular Zoom drop-in sessions to talk about all things reuse in organisations.

If you're involved with facilitating the reuse of surplus assets like furniture and equipment in your organisation then you'll learn a great deal in these informal sessions. 

Reuse is an activity that can have an enormous return on investment... when done right. The returns that can be gained are not only financial (due to budget and time savings), but also environmental, thanks to being more resourceful and avoiding sending useful assets to landfill. 

BUT how will things change due to COVID?

Let’s not miss it!

If the Covid-19 pandemic has taught us anything, it's that we can take radical action in the face of a clear and imminent threat and rapidly change our habits and ways of life.

Whether it is cleaner air, a renewed appreciation of nature or the switch to home working, it's clear that the changes we assumed would take years can happen in a matter of weeks. 

The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) has urged UK Government Ministers to seize the opportunity to turn the COVID-19 crisis into a defining moment in the fight against climate change. But we must all do our bit and rise to the occasion.

This is a rare and important opportunity and we must seize the moment and build on these gains.

Right here and right now.

Below we've collected some ideas to help you do just that.

We have upgraded our search bar so now finding items is easier than ever! The new 'sort by' filter options will include an array of useful search criteria that you and your organisation can utilise! 

In an effort to help protect frontline NHS workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve launched an online marketplace for businesses to donate vital equipment and supplies.

Any business can upload their surplus PPE or equipment and we will make sure it gets into the NHS or other frontline services like social care and pharmacies. 

Sometimes you do not find a match for your surplus assets internally or even within the community. But you do not want to send those assets to landfill. 

You work in a massive organisation with loads of staff. Have you ever thought that your staff might want to take away your surplus assets?
