We get asked regularly by our members why we collect data on so many different metrics, what we do with that data, and how they should then use that data to their advantage?

In this guide, we will look at these questions and try to help you see the bigger picture of reuse data, and how it is more valuable than simply knowing how many items have been traded and to whom.

Every so often Warp It customers want to send items straight to charities, and other third parties.

Here's a guide to show you how to do this.

Within the admin settings panel, you'll find ‘Control Partners’.

This section will enable admins to allow items to be immediately assigned to third parties.

Log in as admin> settings> control partners.

See below.

Warp It users sometimes need to get agreements from members when adding or claiming certain items associated with specific risks. 

For example, there may be certain risks around electricals, medical and clinical equipment, or even some types of furniture.

Members need to know about these risks or agree to statements around these risks.

If you want to plant some trees then this is for you.....

Extending the lifespan of products by reuse and repair reduces manufacturing and transport and thus avoids carbon emissions.

We track carbon savings on our system and express this as the theoretical "number of trees planted" equivalent.

We would actually like to express this more visibly and actually plant the number of trees in real life! 

In this article we make a proposal to plant trees with our customers and their community. 

We are seeking partners to take part in a tree planting project where we actually plant the number of trees equivalent to the carbon your organisation has saved by reusing items on Warp It.

Our customers have exceeded expectations! As of now customers have saved £2.7million worth of furniture and equipment and donated it to charities all over the country!! 

Yes they have given furniture and equipment to the value of £2.7million to all the third sector. 

Here is how operators of national operations can benefit from our services and add value to their internal staff and various sites.

What is Warp It?

We are joined today by Sam Kirby-Bray, the Sustainability Commissioning Officer at Shropshire Council. Sam is their Warp It lead, and handles a number of other important responsibilities in his role. We’re keen to talk to him about their reuse project, which launched to all staff in March 2019.

Has your organisation ever considered introducing an equipment/asset reuse system?

Perhaps you’ve got an existing system and it is in serious need of improvement?

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. Warp It has solved all of the issues that (used to) come with reuse systems.

This article has been put together to illustrate the ways in which contractors and suppliers can add value to their relationships with their clients in the fields of sustainability, waste management, and facilities management, all by using Warp It.
